It was the end of the world. The fields littered with the burnt husks of the living scattered across the glass ground like the ruins after a nuclear explosion.

The ground crunched dryly under my cracking skin as I walked along the ground. My destination. So close, yet so far. I can almost-

"Heather?" Casey called as I looked up at them on the newly built porch. "It's a hundred degrees out and you're a shark beastial, why are you outside?" He asked me.

"She went to get the mail. Something about 'Heat Waves won't beat me'." Jenny called from inside.

"I must prove I'm stronger than the greek whore in the sky!" I declared, flipping off the sun in protest.

Casey pulled me inside, the Ac hitting me immediately and then splashed me with water from the sink before handing me a cold water bottle I greedily drank. "Not in a week-long heatwave you aren't." They stated.

I frowned. This heatwave is gonna be lasting a few more days and it's been driving me crazy! I finally get a good job and all kinds of fun adventures and places to visit… and then the weather decides to give me a middle finger.

"This is garbage…I get a good job, and wanted to do some visits to some cool places…but no, someone decided to change the lightbulb from a normal bulb to a fucking LED…"

"It happens, and you can only cast heat resistant spells for so long." I frowned. I really should have boosted my MP… "And potions or enchanted items of the same effect are pricey."

"Plus, there is literally a dungeon in the lake we live next to. Why don't you explore there?"

"Ugh, fine." I whined. "I wanted to prove I'm stronger than that…"

"You'll have fun. And hey, if you don't have fun or find anything good, Casey and I will both be bottom tonight~" Jenny said with a smirk.

"But, if you find something good and have fun, then it's a Micro-Macro night." Casey added.

I frowned. While I will admit, the sex life has been amazing I have my prefrences over others… and damn it I hate when they use them against me.

"How dare you." I glared accusingly. "I know you two are playing me with my horny…and you're both right…"

"Love you too." Casey said, giving me a kiss.

When our kiss was done shortly later I rapidly ran through the hot sun and jumped into the water. It felt great to be in the water if I'm honest… still don't think I'll be having a good time… Then again, we did find Hex here…

"Well, hopefully something interesting will happen this time." I thought to myself, bringing out Ol Reliable as I swam towards the dungeon.

There were various aquatic enemies here I cut down and swam around, finding some chests with non-rusted or moss covered items. Aside from that, the usual stuff.

I swam around, looking for-

SLAM!

Ouch…

I was suddenly smacked on the windshield of some submarine. Looking through the not even cracked glass viewport the one sailing it looked like they were recovering from an unexpected jumpscare.

I made some gestures, using a form of aquatic semaphore to ask the simple question of 'what the hell guy?'

The rapidly pulled a lever and the submarine to a stop. He then pointed over to a port hole in the floor. I swam under, seeing the entrance and swimming in and climbing inside where they helped he to my feet.

They were a human, brown hair, brown eyes wearing a black shirt and bluejeans and some brown boots. "Sorry about that, this dungeon was supposed to not be very well trafficked. I wasn't expecting to see anyone… let alone turn you into windshield fodder…"

"Eh, that's fine." I rubbed my neck and lightly cracked it. "And yeah, understandable considering the dungeon is near my house." I chuckled. "But what brings you out here?"

"Oh, I'm studying the ecosystem." He said. "I've wanted to be a marine and deep sea researcher and, well, College was too expensive… then a month ago I'm in this reality."

OH! He's an Isekai! I've only ever met a few of them actually now that I think about it. Aside from Junker John… Maybe like, three others?

"You're an Isekai? That's good to know." I nodded. "How's your life been going since all this worlds craziness came in?"

"Honestly, better. Worked to get into college but… that was taking a long time and… well, here all I needed to do was get some therapy after realizing all my friends and family are… unreachable and then the nice lady at the church gave me my own Submarine!" He said. "Oh, and, um, I'm Nathan." He said, holding out a hand. "And again, sorry for hitting you, I honestly was worried I injured a Blacktip Shark, well, I guess I kinda did but seeing you had a humanoid body freaked me out more than the impact."

"Eh, that's fair." I said. "My name's Heather, and you get used to seeing Beastial's. Also, don't worry, while it did hurt, I've been hit harder by some floor bosses."

"Heh, good. So… wow, you really are a humanoid Blacktip Shark." He said in genuine curiosity. "Was your species naturally evolved or genetically altered into existence?"

"Naturally evolved." I answered simply. "Just as a general rule of thumb for Beastials, we all basically evolved like humans, but we keep a majority of our animal based strengths." I explained simply.

"I see… how?" He asked, making me blink. "I mean, the human body is best suited for land based exploration and venturing but being a Shark, an aquatic species, how did you even evolve legs, arms, or the ability to breath air for that matter?" He asked. "Are you breathing through lungs or gills? Did your ancestors start as basic sharks and evolve over time or were you evolved in this form because of extreme genetic mutations or anomalies? Not to mention your only solid bones would be located in your jaw, how would cartilage hold your bodies up in a bipedal form? Or did you evolve normal bones or are your skeletons still cartilage just enforced or thicker than your primal counterparts? Why would your species walk on land and the sea or any water when you can clearly swim better in the water?"

I thought about all those questions… and, honestly… I had no idea…

I coughed a bit. "Okay…so I'm just a sexy shark lady with a big honking sword." I raised Ol'Reliable in question. "If you want, I can show you some details on where to find the Biology Schools."

"K-12 right?" He asked. "The lady at the church told me about them and I'm already enrolled in Realm of Dreams classes. But, um, sorry if I offended you." He said.

"No no, don't worry." I raised my hand. "I've honestly…never been asked so many questions. And if that's the case of you being enrolled in the Realm of Dreams, then might I suggest one of the Biology Guilds? I'm pretty sure they'd welcome you with open arms at how…dedicated you are to understanding it."

"I've been looking through some. Still amazes me there's a guild for everything it seems." Nathen said, rubbing the back of his head. "Not good at choosing so I'm giving each one some thought. Um… well, what are you doing here? You… live around here you said?"

"Yeah, I live close by with my husband, our new girlfriend, our nanny and our…many kids." I said. "And why I'm here is because there's been a week long heatwave that is absolutely murder on me, and I'm super bored, so I was going to cleave my way through the dungeon in this lake."

"Oh… Oh right, I forget harems are legal in this reality. Still getting used to all the… differences." He said.

"Yeah, it's a lot to take in." I nodded. "But at least you're taking this very well all things considered."

"Well, honestly I'm not." He said. "Whole reason for coming down here below the water was to get away from… everything. Keep focused on something I love and not on what I lost… seeing everything above the water… you… honestly just keep reminding me about… home."

I sighed out. "Sorry about that…didn't really think that considering all those questions you threw my way and…well, that glint in your eyes of pure curious joy." I brought up.

"Well, I am curious. I mean, hell, a walking, Talking humanoid Blacktip shark! Back home you'd be the news of the world. Maybe enough to get world leaders to stop sucking each other off long enough to get some work done." He huffed. "From a biology standpoint, Heather, you are amazing… then I remember I'm not home… and your species is likely commonplace, and… well, I remember." He shrugged. "Just been a hard month honestly."

"I understand." I nodded. "But the best thing I can say with that…find a friend when you're ready." I said. "Cause being alone, even if you're busy…sucks. And take it from someone that waited two hundred years to finally get married to my adorable raccoon/fox, being with a friend can make things…so much easier mentally."

"Right, thanks… So, I guess I'll see you around? I'm not really planning on leaving under here til I'm out of food and the sub generates fresh air and handles all that stuff regarding water and sewage."

"Well, if you want, I can take you on a small tour around the place, this ship looks sturdy enough to handle being in a hazardous zone for a bit so you can also take notes on how I swim." I said honestly.

"It does have a weapons system. Retractable harpoons and some subsonic turrets. I have no idea how they work though."

"Mind if I see?" I inquired. "I've dabbled a bit with Sub's, mostly to help my hubby with his photography."

"Be my guest." He said, waving a hand to the console area. It was a fairly basic system. Move the wheel right for right, left for left, forwards for moving that way, pull back to stop or reverse, and an E break, the lever he pulled when he hit me, and another switch for depth control. Go right to going deeper, go left to go up.

Hmm… Now where are the weapons controles?

"Hmm…" I hummed, looking over the control's again and around the wheel to see if there was any button's for the weapons system.

I looked around a bit and eventually found it. A small button on the wheel. Pressing it, the view port lit up with light text.

[Weapons Systems Armed]

It then displayed a small sonar, several red dots detecting enemies some distance away, and an auto targeting system. All it asked was for me to push the button again to fire them. Cool!

"Alright, so I found the button to activate the weapon's systems." I said. "And just press the button again to fire, there's an auto targeting system so you don't have to aim thankfully."

"Well, that's good." He said. "Thank you Heather."

"No problem." I nodded. "Now, still want the tour? Cause we'll have to form a party to make sure the sub doesn't think I'm an enemy."

"Sure… How do we do that?"

I brought up my assistant and sent Nathan a party invite. "Check your Assistant."

"My what?" He asked, looking at the mark on my arm. "Oh, that… I don't have one…"

"That's…literally impossible…"

Nathen showed me his wrists. No Assistant. "The Church in Candlelight where I woke up said they were new and Assistants take time to arrive to the newer churches. I was told most people born in this reality have one from birth?"

"Oh~, that's why." I nodded. "Alright, so people born in this reality do, and I've only met like…four Isekai like you, and all four of them had their Assistants. Hearing that Candlelight's Church is still new, they wouldn't have had any in stock to give you one. Only one faction of people don't have Assistant's…nobody likes Race Supremacists." I frowned.

"Oh, that's a thing here too? That's actually really upsetting considering… everything else."

"Yeah, it's still said that these 'Puritans' still exist, but…well, in a realm where everything is possible, some people just have to act like they're better." I shook my head.

"Well, guess it makes sense that in a reality with every possibility, then yeah, that would still exist. Do they cause trouble for people or do they just mind their own business? Who am I kidding they cause trouble don't they?"

"Not as many as you'd think actually." I answered. "Based on the fact that many…Puritan worlds have been made examples from either other Puritan worlds, or certain stupidly strong people that were sick of their shit." I answered nervously. "So the Mother and the Family came to an agreement with the Puritan's, where they get their lands segregated from everything else to the best of their abilities, and the Puritan's fuck off. While there is a tussle here and there from traveling Puritans, it's to the point of 'they're annoying, but they won't cause any real trouble anymore'."

"Well, better than back home at least." Nathen said. "So, shall we begin the tour?"

I nodded, taking the wheel and began the tour.

The Dungeon was a simple tour. Nathen asked questions and such. All in all, it was kinda fun.

"And so past this point is the Safe Zone?" He asked as we exerted the Dungeon and Hazard Zone.

"Yep." I nodded. "Not entirely sure how it works, but there's always a border between where monster's spawn and where they don't cross to keep the people safe."

"Hm, interesting. And the monsters don't pass it at all?"

"Nope." I shook my head.

"Weird. Well, at least now I know where to park the sub when I'm not researching the ecosystem over there."

"Yeah, they treat the barrier like the plague…but don't knock them past it by accident…hoo boy will they go absolutely ballistic."

"Really? Huh."

"Yeah, not sure what the nature behind it is, but it's probably the fact that it's super furious to be somewhere where, by pure instinct, it knows it shouldn't and is trying it's damndest to get away." I shrugged.

"Interesting. Well, thanks for the tour. I guess you'll be heading off now."

"Do you gotta place to stay?" I inquired.

"I was planning on staying here in the sub. It's got a bed."

"Eh, fair." I shrugged. "But if you ever want to hang out, my house isn't too far away from the shore." I said honestly.

"I dunno. Past experience tells me hanging out at a married or taken girls house is a quick way to getting a black eye death threats at gunpoint."

"Oh, my sweetheart is a pacifist through and through." I answered simply. "He's actually becoming a more well known photographer actually."

"And what about your… girlfriend? Wouldn't she have something to say about it?"

"So I'm just gonna nip this in the bud." I started. "Nobody's going to harm you or get mad at you. Friendship is a good thing, there is no 'cheating' thought process with me inviting a friend over to just hang out." I said simply. "Neither me or our new girlfriend, who is a Prize Pod Person, a Lover Class, only love him. So there is no 'dangerous threats' here…only thing that would be involved is probably some light teasing."

"I… I guess." He said, rubbing his arm. "What are they like?"

"So my husband…" I pulled out a picture of my hubby. "This is my husband, Casey, and he is absolutely adorable." I smiled. "A heart of gold, not a single violent bone in his body, and an eye for photography that…many a times has stopped me and a boss in the middle of a fight to get the right picture."

"Uhh… Why does he look like a woman?" Nathan asked. "They even have breasts…"

"Oh, they became a hermaphrodite, same with me." I said honestly. "Again, we've been together for three hundred years and are…finally getting into our fetishes."

"Oh, oh wow!" Nathen said in surprise. "Huh… never would have guessed."

Nathan and I surfaced in the Sub and I walked him home. Or rather, he partly carried me cause THE SUN KILLS!

"You really don't do well in the sun." Nathan said as he carried me, an arm of mine over his shoulder as I felt my skin drying out rapidly.

"Helios is a whore, and I will power bomb him into a glacier…" I wheezed. "Fucking heatwaves…"

"Heather!" I heard Casey yell as they rushed out the house and helped Nathan. "Oh dear… Thank you for helping her…"

"Nathan. She helped me deal with some stuff after I… accidentally made her a viewport splat…" Nathan said.

"Oh, well, I have seen her deal with harder hits. Sun?" Casey asked.

"Yeah, the second she got out of the sub, about a minute into the walk she already was slouching."

The two of them brought me inside where Casey splashed me with some cold water then gave me another cold water bottle.

"So… you live in a replica Millenium Falcon?" Nathan asked.

"Yep." I nodded, feeling so much better after that. "It's a great ship, and we both really like Star Wars."

"I can see… So, hi." Nathan said.

"Hi." Casey said back. "So, did Heather have a good time?"

"She gave me a tour and, yeah, I think it was fun for her."

"Yeah, I tried to answer the many, many questions Nathan here threw my way." I nodded, taking another swig of my water.

"Good. Means it's my preference night tonight." Casey said, making me sigh. Well, bets a bet. "So, Nathan, will you be staying for dinner or?"

"Oh, um… sure?" He said.

"Trust me, a home cooked meal will do you wonders." I said with a friendly smile.

"Alright. What are you having?"

"Beef stew." Casey said.

"That sounds nice." Nathan said.

"Hey Heather are you back yet?" I heard Jenny call out.

"Yes, I'm back." I called out to Jenny. "And I met a friend."

I turned to look at Nathan… who suddenly looked pale and terrified.

"Is something wrong?" I asked Nathan worriedly.

"I uh… I gotta go!" Nathan yelped, up and out the door at surprising speed.

Jenny walked into the room shortly after. "Hey… what's with that look? I miss something?" Jenny asked.

"Uh…" I frowned. "I don't know…and I'd like to check but…the sun is mean."

"Well, you want me to go catch up with him?" Casey asked.

"That would be good please." I nodded. "I'll help set up dinner while you go check on Nathan."

Casey rushed outside and I got up to check on the food. "So, who's Nathan?" Jenny asked as she followed me into the kitchen.

"He's an Isekai I found…well, less 'found' and more 'accidentally got ran over by a sub', and I took him on a tour around the dungeon." I said honestly. "He said he came from Candlelight, so he doesn't have an Assistant yet."

"Oh. And where did he go?"

"After he heard you talk he ran? No idea. But what he did after getting here? Well, the Church gave him a sub and he's been driving around the place studying stuff for…close to a month."

"Studying? Like fish and stuff?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah, said he wanted to be a marine biologist back in his world, but college being…well, college in that world of 'it fucking sucks', he never had the time or money to fully invest in it."

"Ah. Upsetting but oddly common. So, he heard my voice then panicked?"

"Yeah, I don't know why…" I said nervously.

"Maybe my voice sounded like someone he knew back from his reality?"

"True…I really hope it's not as bad as I think it is…" I said nervously.

As I stirred and checked the stew, Casey eventually came back… without Nathan. "Well, they are rather scared of Jenny." He said plainly.

"Why? What did I or some other version of me from his world do?"

"Mass murder and government takeovers. Various other war crimes and crimes against humanity in general." Casey said.

"... Well Fuck. No wonder he ran." Jenny said.

"Okay…uh…didn't know that." I said worriedly. "Did he give a name as to what might explain why he was so scared of Jenny?"

"He said she sounds like Jenny Ventral, and when I showed him a picture of Jenny here, he screamed, ran and practically nose dived into his sub and dived down under the water."

"Ventral…hmm…why does that name sound familiar?" I hummed. "Also…yeah…that sucks…"

"Hopefully that doesn't effect you two being friends." Jenny said. "If this other me from his world has done all they say, then I doubt he'll be easy around me for a while."

"Yeah…it would suck to lose a friend." I sighed. "Especially when he's literally only been an Isekai for a month…"

"Ouch. Well, maybe later you can talk things over with them?" Casey offered.

"I'll try to." I nodded. "Just when this god forsaken heatwave ends…"

The day the heatwave finally ended I headed out and looked for Nathan and his sub. Thankfully, that was thankfully easy.

"Sorry for… running away, but, Jenny Ventral… no. Nope. Can't. Won't." Nathan said as he was looking at freshwater seaweed samples he had.

"Casey told me what you said about her and…" I sighed. "I understand…but technically that's a completely different person."

"I know, but still. Back home there were drills schools did should a Ventral show up in town. Even if they were passing through! Whole cities and houses had lead lined bomb shelters in place as panic rooms for when those people show up! The whole world had only come together to literally form a global organization to combat them and it barely can handle them! It's muscle memory taught to us back home that when someone says Ventral, we hide, pray to whatever God we believe in, and hope they pass by without burning our homes, cities and states to the ground…"

"Yeah…that sounds about right." I nodded. "Sorry again Nathan…I honestly didn't know cause the name 'Ventral' has…probably been lost to time all things considered." I brought up, which when I looked up to see his face…oh boy did he look more than surprised to hear that.

"Well, still. I don't think I'll be able to be around her… let alone talk to or be in the same building as her… for some amount of time. Sorry they just… are a big Trigger for people who know them."

I had to admit, I didn't know much about Isekai worlds aside from the trope in anime. Can a human from worlds like his really be that bad and strong?

"Okay, so I know this is a…sore topic. But mind telling me how they need the entire world to handle them?" I inquired.

"The… They aren't human. I mean, they are but… aren't." Nathan said. "They get shot, they can brush it off. Break a bone? They put it back in place and it's like it never broke. Chemicals? Drugs? Poisons? Ha. Whatever they have for kidneys and a liver sure as hell can filter that all out. Radiation? They're largely based in zones so radioactive a normal human would drop dead immediately. I don't know how they are… borderline immortal, but the whole family has used it since as easily as the 1400's to destroy whole empires and… well, just cause chaos."

"Damn." I blinked. "That…that shouldn't be possible for…a world that probably never had magic."

"And yet they exist defying science and every God across the planet with a twisted smile and enough weapons to arm a small town. If it wasn't for the fact they can die the world would have been under their thumbs long ago."

"Sounds about right." I nodded. "Jeez, no wonder you bolted hard…"

"Yeah. Again, sorry for making a scene…"

"Nah, it's alright." I said with a raised hand. "I'm sorry for putting you in that situation, didn't think that would have happened."

"I guess you really couldn't have known anyway. Well, that all aside, thanks for visiting."

"Yeah, cause that's what friends do." I said with a smile. "And in a world like this, friendship means a lot."

"Thanks. Guess I'll be seeing you around."

With that I left Nathan, heading back home to care for the kids some before Casey, Jenny and I all went out for a date night.

We all dressed in casual clothing, it was mostly just gonna be some light shopping at the mall, followed by a movie, dinner at a buffet, and end it all off with a walk through the park at night.

"This is gonna be fun." Jenny said with a smirk. This was going to her her first date with both Casey and myself so, yeah, it probably was.

"Are we buying just for fun?" Casey asked.

"Hmm, well do we need to buy anything important or can we just buy thing's for fun?"

"I don't think we need anything. Nanny is pretty good at keeping groceries and necessities stocked, guess it's shopping for fun." She said.

"Heh. Works for me." Casey said.

"So, how has work been for you Casey? Sell any photos or book any photography sessions?"

"A few. My usual buyers are upset about not getting any action shots in dungeons anymore but they understand now that I'm a dad and Heather is a mom so, they've agreed that I can do photos of gear for the Catalogs or Guilds if I'm available. In terms of sessions a few people did commission me for pictures of them in their gear for a few hundred rem a photo. It's not bad. But I am still mostly working Crafting and Repairs for John."

"That's fair." I nodded. "When the kids grow up enough to be at school, we'll go on a dungeon run alright?"

"Huh. I guess that would work, but I don't mind the work. Sure, usual flirts and perverts aside, it's fun and I'm always busy at least."

"Any of them give you trouble?" Jenny asked.

"Not really. They're those 'wanna hook up' types that at least when told no leave but try again later."

"Alright, as long as they don't push it." I nodded. "Cause then they'll get to know what a greatsword to the face feels like."

"I imagine that it feels sharp and heavy." Jenny commented.

Our first stop within the Mall was a babies toy store. The kids could use some fun toys.

Hex goes through stuffed animals like crazy then howls sadly when there aren't any left. The rest at least just cuddle and drool on them.

When that was done I began to wonder what Dexter would like. He is admittedly odd and mature for his age. Doubt he's into video games. Aside from fishing and reading… what would he like?

We reached the older kids toy store and I was still drawing blanks. Hmm…

"Think he'll like this?" Jenny asked, showing me a Lego Hogwarts set.

"I mean…he might like Harry Potter, and Lego is always a good option." I shrugged.

"We can get him a few sets and ask him about any preferences for toys and such when we get home." Casey offered. "Dexter doesn't really ever ask for much or anything so I guess we need to ask him what he wants."

"Sounds like a plan." I nodded. "Always hard to do gift giving when people barely ask for things…"

We grabbed a few more Lego sets of different types before heading out to some of our favorite stores. First up was Jenny, who stopped by a Gun Store for some ammo, a few new guns and holsters.

Next was my store, the Collectors Artifacts! Functional and perfect replicas of weapons from media.

I got a Dragon Bone Smasher from Demon Souls. It was heavy but really neat. Not sharp, more of a giant sword shaped club but I can probably sharpen it later.

Lastly Casey, who browsed a few new cameras and models before eventually settling on a Poster Printer and lots of Ink and Paper for it. He says it will add to his sales later, and I can't argue.

Next was movies. There were several options. Shrek 9, Despicable Me 4, a Titanic remake, Jumanji 6, Silent Hill Damnation…

"I feel like most of these didn't need to be made." Jenny spoke up.

"At least there's always options at the theaters." Casey shrugged.

"True." I agreed. "But yeah…half of these weren't really needed."

"So, what are we gonna watch? I'm partial to Silent Hill Damnation." Jenny said.

"Despicable Me 4 might be funny." Casey brought up.

"Hmm, I want to see if Shrek 9 keeps proving my point that they ran out of ideas after the fourth movie."

"Heh. Guess we need a tie breaker or something." Jenny said.

We decided the old fashioned way. A three-way rock-paper-scissors match.

The first attempt was…me throwing rock, Jenny throwing paper, and Cassidy throwing scissors. "So this is why nobody does three way rock-paper-scissors…" I muttered with a small chuckle at that.

We tried a few more times until Casey and I both threw Scissors and Jenny threw Rock.

With that decided we got the tickets, got snacks. They had fish flavored popcorn and I went with that while Casey and Jenny got basic popcorn. Once our snacks and drinks were in hand we went and watched the movie.

It was… graphic. Especially given the film industry can use real death, corpses and gore in them. Actors these days for roles like this are paid fortunes. All in all it was… alright. Story was a little off in the middle and several people got sick or threw up at some scenes, but it was an okay movie.

"I remembered why I stopped watching horror movies…" Casey said.

"It wasn't that bad." Jenny said.

"They all died anyway and were eaten by that Pyramid Head snake thing." Casey countered.

Snake Pyramid Head did throw me off.

"Snake Pyramid Head did throw me off, yeah, but it's not really surprising since it was Silent Hill." I shrugged.

"I guess." Jenny shrugged.

Now it was into dinner. A buffet that had some of everything… and we mean… everything.

Thankfully everything was labeled, what it was and ingredients so we didn't accidentally eat some of the items, but it was fun all around, ending with ice cream.

And lastly was the night walk through the park. It was calm, peaceful and honestly really relaxing. Casey, Jenny and I all just enjoyed the cool night air, held hands and shared a few kisses.

All in all, a successful date night.

The next morning I woke up feeling bloated. Crap, either I ate too much or I ate something bad…

"Ugh…I don't feel good…" I groaned, wondering why I was feeling bloated.

I sat up and rubbed my temples. Okay, we came home, it was late, we had some wine, got… frisky, I remember that much then… we… right, Potions, vore stuff and I… fell asleep…

I jolted up-

Slam!

Fuck!

What the? I looked up, seeing roof was… I bumped into the roof? Wait how is that…

I looked myself over. I now… somehow, sported patches of familiar fur across my body and even alone my tail and…

"Ouch… what hit me?" I heard Casey, though I didn't hear them.

"You too?" Jenny's voice spoke up in the same audio as Casey. "Wait, where are we?"

"How…why…and what happened?" I asked in a growing sense of panic. "Cause uh…I'm now a lot larger…and uh…you two aren't here…"

"What do you mean? I can see I'm… taller… and can't move?" Casey asked, an equal sense of panic growing.

"Uh, Heather, mind checking the bathroom?" Jenny asked.

I walked my way to the bathroom, and after squeezing through the bathroom door I finally saw myself in the mirror.

I was now huge! Easy nine, maybe ten feet tall. My normal body was broken up by patches of fur that clearly belonged to Casey, my head now sported the same color and style of hair Jenny has, and to top it all off… I was pretty thicc…

Casey, Jenny and I all did the reasonable thing… screamed.

"What is this all abou- Miss… Heather?" Nanny asked as she walked into the room.

"Nanny halp!" I panicked. "I don't know how this happened! We just…we just shared a lewd night and suddenly we…fuzed?"

"I can… see… hm, tell me, were these Lewd acts of the… fetish, swallow whole variety you all have been doing every so often?"

"Yes." Jenny and Casey said simultaneously.

"Yes…yes we did." I nodded carefully.

"And you didn't let them out? Knowing you it wasn't intentional so, fell asleep?" I nodded. "Then I think I know what is happening here." Nanny said with a smirk. "Before anything, please, Miss Heather, say Release, and then Jenny and Casey's names."

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "Alright…Release Casey. Release Jenny." I said, hoping this would work."

There was a poof of thick mist or fog and suddenly I was my normal height, and Casey and Jenny were next to me. Yes! I immediately hugged them.

"So… what was that?" Casey asked.

"And can we do it again cause being that tall was honestly cool." Jenny added.

"That, was Assimilation." Nanny stated. She then took my wrist with the Assistant and brought up my skill Trees. There, all by itself above all the others was Assimilation… holy crap!

"You got a Legendary Ability Heather!" Casey said.

"I…how…why?" I asked in absolute shock.

"Legendary Ability typically don't have a reason for appearing, but not all actually do. You see, your specific actions of… lewdness are part of a prerequisite for this Ability to appear. Only a handful of Legendary Abilities actually have a prerequisite and even then the odds of unlocking it are very slim. In short, you got very lucky Miss Heather."

"So, because she ate Casey and I, forgot to get us out before falling asleep and we were gonna be her tit fat, she got this and it just fused us?" Jenny asked.

"Yes." Nanny nodded. "The ability allows Miss Heather to absorb anyone, not just through… that method, simple touch also works and it fuses your bodies but also gives her complete access to your memories, skills, talents, abilities, without fusing your minds to make a new being. It's useful for parties up against a boss stronger than each Individually. While fused Heather is in complete control of the body and the absorbed remains in the 'back seat' as it were."

"Well…good to know." I nodded. "Though…again, sorry I just fell asleep after…that…"

"Eh, I don't mind." Jenny shrugged. "Frankly even if you didn't get that ability you'd have digested Casey and I and gotten some nice tit and booty fat and we'd have respawned in bed next to you so, no harm."

"Not gonna lie… it was different being like that." Casey added. "Our body felt… really strong."

"Yes, yes it did." I nodded. "Just…super surprised by this…"

"Gaining a Legendary Ability is always a shock but I recommend training it." Nanny said. "Just try not to show it off."

After that we all got dressed and ready for the day. Casey had work and gave us a kiss goodbye, Dexter thanked us for the Legos and mainly said books or more Legos were fine. Once he was at school Jenny and I fed, burped and changed the kids before Nanny took over and we headed out.

Now that the initial shock and awe is over I'm really excited to try this ability out properly!

Jenny and I were just passed the border into the Hazard Zone on the other side of the lake.

"Okay, you ready?" Jenny asked me.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I nodded.

The activation was just as easy as the deactivation and actually had two methods. I either say Assimilate, while holding Jenny or whoever by the hand, leg or whatever, or I eat them then say it. Yeah I'll mainly do the holding one.

The same poof as before appeared and when it was gone my body changed. I wasn't as tall as before, and lacked the fur patches since Casey wasn't fused in but I did still have the hair of Jenny's on my head, stood an easy seven feet tall and while not as thick as before, still looked mighty curvy and muscular.

"Okay so, you should have access to everything I can do. So, pull out my gun and shoot something." Jenny said.

I indeed had her inventory too, and pulled out her handguns. Okay, tree down there and…

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four shots, two each from the guns, and four branches from the tree shot off… woah! Okay, I get what Jenny means when she talks about using guns now.

"Okay…guns, I now understand." I said in awe.

"Right! Oh man this is so cool! Add our healer or Casey and we're a one body army!" Jenny said excitedly.

I smirked, bringing up my Skill Trees to check on the Ability.

Hmm, here it is.

[Ability: Assimilation

Rank: Legendary

Assimilation allows the user to Assimilate or Absorb all forms of organic and inorganic matter via touch or digestion. In terms of organic matter such as plants and creatures the augmentations to the body can be permanent if the user wishes. The same follows for inorganic matter. Sentient beings can not be permanently held and a limit of ten are allowed. A time limit of three days is also activated if the assimilated person no longer wishes to remain assimilated.]

Woah, okay cool, safety measures… wait… I can Permanently augment myself with crap if I want!

"I feel we both know what needs to be done now…" Jenny said.

"Yes, we know exactly what needs to be done." I said with a growing, predatory grin.

First I need to run a test first. I quickly ran over to the tree I shot and picked up one of the branches and activated Assimilation.

[Pine Tree Sample Assimilated.

Photosynthesis Rank 1 Acquired.

Bark Hide Rank 1 Acquired.

Pine Sap Production Acquired.

Ground Nutrition Gathering Rank 1 Acquired.

One with Pine Tree Acquired.]

Woah! Got me a whole bunch of abilities!

"Damn!" Jenny mirrored my thoughts.

"Oh I am going to abuse the shit out of this." I said, practically purring in glee at how much nonsense I'm going to be doing."

Okay, next up, an animal… hmm, maybe…

I looked up at the tree, seeing a spider sitting in it's web. Hm, not an animal… but Spider Man powers!

I grabbed the spider out of its web and activated the Ability.

[Spider Sample, Daddy Long Legs, Assimilated.

Spider Silk Durable Rank 1 Acquired.

Spider Silk Sticky Rank 1 Acquired.

Surface Grip Rank 1 Acquired.

Proportional Strength: Spider Acquired.]

"Oh hell yes!" Jenny said.

"Now, the only question is…how do I produce spider silk?" I inquired, lightly rubbing my ass in worry that it would have to come from there instead of the Sam Raimi Spider-Man. "Also…yeah, I am now physically a hundred and seventy times stronger than I was before…which is awesome."

"Try it out. Jump, run, leap. See if it comes from your wrists!"

I chuckled. Okay, first a juuuuuuummmp! Okay now I'm like a mile in the sky and… oh shit.

Thud!

I hit the ground and made a me shaped hole in the ground… huh, that actually did not hurt as bad as I was expecting.

I dusted myself off and headed off, running was definitely faster too. A careful leap got me a mile across the ground. Nice!

Thankfully, the webs came from my wrists. Right was durable webbing while left was sticky webbing. Nice.

"Okay, this is really cool." I said with a smile. "Though gonna have to be careful of my strength…this is a lot."

"You can also deactivate the abilities too, you know."

Oh yeah… eh, everyone forgets that's an option.

Reminded of that I ran off looking for more shit to Assimilate into my body. Aside from some useful plants and a squirrel, I was oddly having a hard time with this. Even weirder… no monsters…

"Okay…this is weird and wrong." I said carefully, checking my Assistant to see what the hell is going on. "Enemy Radar app don't fail me now…" I muttered, using it to try and see where the hell thing's are cause I know I'm in a Hazard Zone.

It did pick up a few, but most were a good distance away. I decided to check my calendar… ah, that's why. Tonight is a Blue Moon. Monsters spawn less the day before a Blue Moon. Well, bad day to try this out but I'm still having fun at least.

"That's kinda disappointing, but, can't do much about it."

"Sadly." I sighed. "But hey, got some pretty decent abilities all things considered."

"True. Those herb ones will help a crap tone I just know it. Same with Photosynthesis… wanna defuse and fool around in the forest?"

"Hell ya." I chuckled as I released Jenny from her Assimilated form.

Now that my body was back to normal and she had her own back we started with finding a nice soft patch of grass, then got to it.

That patch of grass had a decent watering and some sticky stuff left behind by the time we finished up and went home. Jenny got into the shower and I sat down and sighed.

Casey won't be back from work for another two hours. Dexter will probably be back soon but immediately start on homework for the next hour. Nanny has the kids all sleeping thankfully. Nanny herself is also taking a nap…

I turned on the TV.

As I was watching, Jenny got done with her shower, dressed but hair still fairly wet as she sat next to me. "So, anything good on?"

"Eh, just looking through stuff to see if there is." I said, sifting through several channels to see if anything good was on.

We ended up watching some Tournament Fights. Casey eventually came home and we all got started on dinner.

When all that was done we checked on the kids, made sure they were all cleaned and asleep. I tucked Dexter in and we all went back to the bedroom. "So, normal work day again?" Jenny asked.

"Yeah. One girl did give me her number though…" Casey admitted.

"Oh? Come on, details my guy." I said with a teasing smile as to who would give their number to my adorable hubby.

"Well, she's one of the Ally Class freed by that guy that basically helped populate the town. She's a Celestrian and yes she knows I'm in a… harem and a hermaphrodite. She's okay with both and wanted to know if she had a place in it." Casey stated simply.

"Hmm." I hummed. "Well…might as well meet her at least once to see." I shrugged. "Just a simple date to see if it works out."

"I figured if you agreed you or both would want to tag along. Thankfully she's fine with that."

"Do you know her name?" Jenny asked.

"Rebecca." Casey said. "She's actually one of the regulars in the store and a semi flirt. Usually compliments my outfit or chest… usually in to sell some loot or repairs for her swords."

"That's fair." I nodded. "Still…honestly can't believe we might be…expanding our love life like this after three hundred years." I shook my head with a warm chuckle, still a little surprised how far we've gotten in this new and wonderful relationship.

"It is weird." Casey admitted. "But hey, Jenny and us have worked out pretty well so far. Our sex lives are arguably way better, we have a family, we'll just be selective about it. We'll all agree on if someone who wants into the herd can join or if we pick up another Lover like Jenny."

"Sounds fair to me." Jenny agreed.

"Yep." I nodded. "Sounds like a plan."

"So when are we gonna meet the lucky lady?"

"I'll call her tomorrow and see. For now I believe it's Heather's Kink Night." Casey said. I grinned.

The next morning after a much needed shower each we Casey made the call.

We were meeting Rebecca in the park. We all got dressed in some casual, well fitting clothes and Casey pointed her out. To be fair he didn't really need to, she's the only one we can see with wings.

Rebecca was like any other Celestrian. Human in appearance save the large white wings on her back. She wore a black leather jacket, blue under shirt, and some blue jeans and sneakers. She saw Casey and in a flap was in front of us. "So, these are your mates huh? I see you have good taste Casey~" She teased.

"Nice to meet you." I said politely. "Im Heather, Casey's wonderful wife."

"And I'm Jenny. Casey and Heather's girlfriend/herdmate." Jenny added.

"Rebecca." She replied with a nod. "Hopefully soon to be herdmate/girlfriend." She stated. "So, how is this going to go?" She asked.

"Well, I guess we should ask how you first met Casey." Jenny said.

"Junker John's Shop. I work as a Hunter and mainly deal with avian prey so I came to bring my swords in for a repair. I won't lie, I was first attracted to Casey's wonderful hips." She admitted, making Casey blush. "And finding out they're a hermaphrodite made my bisexual butt swoon. I'll admit, I was mostly hoping for a one night quickie but each time I came back Casey and I talked and, well, they're nice and sweet and damn it before I knew it I handed them my number and here we are."

"Ah. Casey won you over with their sweet and honest nature." Jenny nodded. "Sounds about right."

"Casey is one of the sweetest people I know…you have fallen for him just like I did." I said honestly. "He's just too cute, honest, and loving." I swooned a little at all the wonderful and adorable memories.

"Come on… not in public…" Casey whined.

"So, any goals in mind for courting Casey and us?" Jenny asked.

"Honestly? I dunno. I'd like something like what you two have with them, but I'd also really like an active sex life. I'll admit I'm a horn dog but I also know a relationship needs more than just a good sex life."

"Understandable." I nodded. "So, got any hobbies besides being a horndog?"

"Video Games. I'm also a big fan of tournament battles. Watching them mostly, no way in hell could I ever enter one." Rebecca stated.

"By the way, what kind of Ally are you?" Jenny asked.

"Areal support." She answered.

"Heh. Should have guessed."

"Well, now we have a defiant solution to those 'air only' photoshoot problems." I chuckled warmly.

"That could work." Casey shrugged. "So, Rebecca… I guess I should ask if you want this to be a date or?"

"Well, I wouldn't mind. I shouldn't expect this date to end in a four way so I guess maybe we can just go see a movie?"

"Sure." I nodded. "But no Horror Movies, our resident cinnamon roll can't handle it." I gently patted Casey's head.

"It's wasn't scary as much as it was just weird." Casey huffed.

And so we all went to the movies. I got to watch Shrek 9 and yup… out of ideas. Honestly, if they were gonna make a movie about the triplets then why not have them go on an adventure to rescue their parents, not a fucking Shrek version of Highschool Musical…

"Well that was terrible." Rebecca huffed.

"It was." Casey nodded.

"Eh. At least the bad guy was funny." Jenny added.

"And yet again, proves my point." I said with a proud smile.

"Why are you happy about it having been a bad movie?" Casey asked.

"Because I've been arguing with people for the last a hundred and fifty years that Shrek lost any semblance of idea's and good writing after the fifth movie." I said honestly. "And I'm right."

"Heh. Fair." Rebecca said. "So, I guess I'll see you all later?"

"Sure." I nodded. "Oh, also, mind if I get your number? Just in case I want to ask you on some Dungeon runs."

"Sure." She said, giving Jenny and I her number.

With that she waved us by and flew off.

Jenny, Casey and I decided to walk around town.

It was an average day and frankly after that date/interview I was looking forward to some relax-

"Come and get them while it's here folks, the ultimate bedroom edition!" We heard someone calling out in an advertisement. "Limited run only, you won't wanna miss out!"

"Wanna go see whatever he's yelling about?" Jenny asked.

"Might as well." I shrugged. "Not everyday you hear someone advertising 'the ultimate bedroom edition'."

"I get the feeling he's gonna be selling something weird…" Casey said.

We walked over to the building. The man was some kind of Goat/Dragon mix with a humanoid body dressed in a blue suit complementing his chrome fur/scales. He stood on a stage that was slightly raised and next to him was a huge curtain covering something.

He kept his calls going til the crowd grew to a fair size. "Ladies and Gentlemen, Gendered and Genderless, we here in this beautiful world owe all we get to experience and love every day of our nearly immortal lives to The Family and their efforts in stopping Nexus and the All Maker so many countless years ago. But, since those days so many have become recluse. So fer speak to us let alone let us view them. Save a select group who we all know and love in the adult films they constantly publish."

"Okay, so definitely not kid friendly." Jenny said.

"And so my company has been given the esteemed permission to produce, this!" He pulled the curtains back. Our jaws dropped… that was… Admin King. Or rather, someone or something in their likeness? "This here is my companies custom made, limited time run only Admin King Sex Bot!"

"Sex Bot? Yeesh, I almost thought that was actually Admin King." Casey said.

"How authentic is it!?" I called out, now actually curious as to how they were able to talk to the Den Mother, and why they were doing this.

"Excellent question! Admin King themselves inspected these finely tuned sex machines down to the feel of every 'organ' and every strand of fur! It does it all, creates milk, clenches, stretches, gets wet and can change size, genitals, shape and form all based on what you want to do to them! Why, some of their mates on set said it was just as good as the real thing!" The seller explained. While some people in the crowd left others stayed. "This bot can do everything from every film Admin King has ever been in, but wait there's more! It can also cook, clean, wash you and itself with ease and will even develop their own mentality and consciousness akin to that of a Lovers Class! And when that happens their dormant Assistant Activates and they can gain abilities too! This limited run bot is going to be part of an experimental set Admin King is working on and currently there's only a minimal thirty thousand made! And it can be yours for the low low price of five hundred thousand rem!"

The offers and cash began flying at the guy.

I need one! Admin King is my favorite of The Family!

"I'm sorry…but I need one." I said carefully.

"I had a feeling you were gonna say that." Casey chuckled.

"Then go grab one!" Jenny yelled.

I wasted no time, rushing through the line and basically throwing the money at the guy. He gave me the storage box and I squeed.

Back home, I was so excited. I placed the storage box down, pushed the botton and suddenly, sprawled on the floor was my very own sex Bot replica of Admin King!

I squeed again!

"So, they're naked. Makes sense, sex Bot." Jenny shrugged.

"How do you turn it on?" Casey asked. "And no, do not point out the obvious innuendo."

"Hmm…" I hummed, pulling out my Assistant and seeing if there was a way to do such a thing before digging through the mountain of fluff on the bot.

"Maybe this?" Jenny said, holding a very small manual. "Was by the feet." She said, opening it. "Ah, here we are. To turn on and register owner/lover, plant a kiss upon the sex bots lips. How fairy tale." Jenny said.

"Well, I guess if it does evolve over time from a basic Sex Bot into a full on lover than a kiss would make sense." Casey said.

I couldn't help myself as I kissed the Den Mother bot happily.

Immediately I felt them move, opening my eyes and I stared into those deep blue ones, a hand pressing onto my back pushing me deeper into that massive, fluffy soft torso as their tongue slipped into my mouth… oh sweet merciful Mother, Best day ever!

"Should we give her some privacy?" I heard Casey ask.

"I wanna say yes but I also really wanna watch." Jenny replied.

I wrapped my arms around the Den Mother's neck and started to make out with the wonderful bot.

By the time my fun was had the floor was stained, my butt and tail had rug burn and there was Den Mother Dire Wolf Hair scattered around… it. Was. Divine…

"Three hours. I'm genuinely impressed." Casey said he and Jenny were on the couch having watched the whole thing.

"I can go longer~." Robo King said with a cheeky grin. "Especially when watched."

"Well…I guess that's why…people say you're an Exhibitionist's Idol…" I panted heavily.

"Do you need water? Cause that was a lot of fluids you uh… lost." Jenny asked.

"Yes please…" I said, being a bit dehydrated from all that fun.

"I can produce breast milk." The bot said, bringing up one of their bountiful breasts and…yes, milk did come out. "I am biologically capable of most Den Mother actions." They answered simply, even as I was already latching on and sucking on the wonderful breast and drinking straight from the tap.

"So… what should we call you?" Casey asked them. "Because calling you King sounds… kinda odd. Considering."

"True." Jenny nodded. "King's name, while admittedly iconic in the adult films they mass produce, feels kinda weird out of that context… maybe… Swing? No… ah, Klover!"

"Those don't really work…" Casey hummed.

"Diane." We all turned to see Nanny at the hallway, carrying a carpet cleaner and several bottles of soap. "While I can understand the desire, could you please try and not stain the carpet, rug and sofa? It's going to be a pain to clean…" Nanny frowned.

"Wait, what name was that you said?" Casey asked.

"Diane. I figured I'd throw my two bits into the conversation before starting the cleaning."

"Diane works." The bot said with a nod.

"Also uh…sorry Nanny…" I said sheepishly. "I'll help clean it up given uh…this is my fault."

"In your current state I doubt you can even stand." Nanny countered, making me blush. "So, where did this replica of Admin King come from?"

"Someone who makes Sex Bots said Admin King themselves oversaw the production of them as a limited run and that they were going to be part of a series." Casey said.

"I suppose Admin King would do something like that." Nanny said. "Well, just keep the mess to the bedroom or bathrooms and try not to go overboard."

"I will…and…I can totally feel my legs." I said, trying to move my legs…which weren't moving. "Uh…I can move…"

"Well, while you rest, Casey and I will take Diane here for a spin ourselves!" Jenny said.

"We will?" Casey asked.

"Well duh? How can you have seen all that and not gotten hot and bothered?"

"I was but wasn't sure how to ask." Casey admitted. They then placed me onto the couch and took Diane upstairs to the bedroom.

Nanny began her cleaning.

I could at least move my arms. I grabbed the remote and got ready to sit here for a while til I could walk myself back upstairs and either join in if they're still at it, or sleep on the pile of mess they're going to become.

"Sorry I can't…really help more Nanny." I said sheepishly, wishing I wasn't this sore and could at least do a little something to help out.

"It's alright. I figure before Diane learns to do more than bedroom activities I best get more work in. While a synthetic she is still technically a Den Mother and I'm rather territorial."

"O-oh…uh…that's not good." I said nervously. "Sorry…"

"It's just instincts. I've been here for much longer yet she's already being bred while I tend to the young. It tugs at primal strings my feral ancestors engrained deep into my races modern cultures."

"I mean…if you want…" I said nervously. "I suppose that's our bad for…never offering I suppose…" I sighed, scratching the back of my head nervously.

"While I accepted the fact our relationship was that of a servant and a master, are you sure you'd wish to extend that offer?" Nanny asked me carefully. "Offering a harem, a Den, to a Den Mother is a serious proposal and I do mean proposal. If you do this and we mate we won't be servant and master but mates."

"Well…" I started. "While I would have to double check with Casey…I mean, I always saw you more as a friend than a servant and…well, seeing you upset about this…honestly hurts since you were with us since we started all this new and…wonderful nonsense." I said honestly.

"True. Shortly after you acquired young Hex. We've nursed the children together, changed them, cleaned them, played with them. I've always been a mother and always cared for my children. Part of why I enrolled in this… servant summon role was to feel like I had a den of my own." Nanny admitted.

"Well…might as well fix that." I said honestly. "We've done a lot together…it feels wrong for you to still be seen as a 'servant' Nanny…if you want we can be more."

Nanny seemed to mull the thought over for a time. "I won't lie, an actual relationship, and to have my children live in the same house as their fathering parents is tempting."

"While I don't want to force you into a relationship you don't want, the only reason why I'm not going over and kissing you to show I'm serious about this is because I can barely feel my legs." I chuckled.

Nanny smiled warmly at that. "Then, allow me to correct that problem." She said, walking over to me, getting down and kissing me… holy crap she kisses almost exactly like Diane!
