I paced back and forth in my garage deep in thought. The new jump was both good and bad in equal measures, good in that it had a lot of useful perks that could easily count as low end powers in and off themselves as well as quite a few useful items. It was bad in that getting everything that I found useful from it would require me to keep it for a month or so and I was reluctant to sink so much time into a jump of this level.
Especially now that I wasn't as desperate as I used to be thanks to the foundation I laid down with the Fast and Furious freebies. I was a good fighter, a great one, a deadly one when armed considering my top notch aim and reaction speed, untested? Absolutely, but I had all the right skills and instincts. I could drive, tear down, rebuild and enhance motor vehicles masterfully, I had a place to live and a respectable amount of cash. It was safe to say I had the basic necessities covered.
Despite everything this was anything but an easy choice. The fact it could make me look back at the disappointing Superman jump fondly spoke volume of how annoying this situation turned out to be, who would have thought getting your wishes granted could be so vexing.
The future I was aware off was unlikely to come to pass exactly as I remembered it but that didn't mean the broad strokes would be unrecognizable, it was very likely for some of those disasters to still occur. I had a limited timeframe to work with and as such I had to use it as best I could this meant not wasting time getting abilities and items that I could live without.
Running my fingers through my hair I let out a breath and looked up at the ceiling, I might be overthinking this, if the perks were worth it I doubt I'd be agonizing over how long I would need to hold onto the jump to get them. Yes that made sense, honestly I couldn't see myself keeping it for more than two weeks, which meant that I had two picks, so I should simply compare the perk/item combos, pick my two favorites and move on with my life. Folding my arms I thought it over some more before nodding resolutely.
As much as I wished to pick the Dark Hand for the shield it would allow me to project the items that came with it seemed of dubious utility, definitely not the sort of thing I saw myself using long term, the same with Calcium while the enhanced bone strength, resilience and regeneration was tempting, the accompanying items were kind of shit really, which eventually caused me to settle for the Chosen Undead and Path of the Dragon Freebies, while the simple binoculars and dragon scale would be of little use to me the two rings were quite potent indeed, one would make my movements, breathing and other common actions completely silent while worn which would be great for stealth while the other would boost my vitality something I was in dire need of with how fucked up my body was.
The accompanying perks were decent enough and seemed like the kind that would be useful no matter what, one would make it unlikely me for me to ever get lost as long as I had even a vague idea of where I wished to go, the other offered a cool head during action and intense situations, a minor combat boost and what read like a more substantial one when engaged in direct competition.
With my two picks decided on it was only a matter of choosing which to take first and this choice was much easier to make.
Week 5
-"Sprawling Reach" (100CP): From the holy city of Anor Londo defended by numerous trials and tribulations, to the molten, demon infested reaches of Izalith, your journey expects you to touch upon everything this land has to see. It all started with breaking out of jail.
You have an uncanny ability to navigate the world around you. You're fantastic at moving through treacherous territory, getting through great obstructions and finding lost places.
As long as you have a vague idea of where exactly you want to go, it's going to be damn hard to stop you with silly things like walls, geography or misdirection. Enemies are an entirely different story though, be careful about those.
-"Estus Flasks" (Free): You receive five Estus Flasks. Estus Flasks are dull green grass bottles that fill up with a golden fluid, if it could be described as a fluid, when you rest next to bonfires.
Undead who drink of these flasks will heal from grievous injuries, though especially large bodies or extra severe injuries might need several flasks worth to properly recover.
It's unknown where these bottles come from, but you should be able to find more around these lands, giving you healing potions on hand. You may use these potions regardless of origin.
-"Introductory Equipment" (Free/100CP): For those with at least mostly human body types and sizes, you receive a useful boon in the form of some free equipment consisting of weapons and armor.
There are nine sets to choose from, the Warrior, the Knight, the Wanderer, the Thief, the Bandit, the Hunter, the Sorcerer, the Pyromancer and the Cleric.
The Knight is notable for having the best, yet heaviest armor, the most well-made shield and a broadsword. Warrior, Wanderer, Thief, Bandit and Hunter all have varying forms of leather armor.
Warrior has a longsword and the best shield of this group.
-"Tiny Being's Ring" (50CP): A weak magic ring that fills you with additional vitality. This essentially allows you to cling to life harder and endure ailments or wounds of greater intensity.
Doesn't help tremendously, but one more stab, ten more steps to a safe place, could be all the difference between life and death.
-"Binoculars" (50CP): A handy pair of binoculars, useful for surveying these dangerous lands from a distance without putting yourself in danger.
Strange for something of primitive make, they will always stay in good condition with perfectly clean lenses that won't smudge, fog up or become grimy from use.
The first thing I did was slip my finger into my new silver ring, it fit me perfectly and as I admired the dark red jewel I could immediately feel it's effect, while it didn't heal me or even alleviate any of the many ills plaguing my body, it made them a little bit easier to bear. Not what one would expect from an enchanted ring but when it came to my health every little bit of help was welcome.
The Estus Flasks were quickly stored away, as they were currently useless to me, I was sick not injured. The binoculars had a certain charm to them, a quick glance with them through a window showed them to be perfectly serviceable, I ended up setting them down in the receptionist area, they did look rather nice. Which left me with my leather armor, shield and long sword out in the open...
I was changed in minutes, I didn't look that imposing with my current build but the armor did look pretty good, swinging the sword around while keeping the shield up came easily enough, I doubted I was much good with the weapon but what I didn't doubt was my ability to gut people with it, that, I was sure I could manage easily enough with how sharp this sword seemed. Even this short amount of exercise had me sweaty and tired in short order so I took off my new acquisitions stored them away took a shower and followed it up with a nap, I'd go pick up a new whore later on, I still had some frustration to work out and sex was the best outlet I'd found so far...
I was slowly driving down a street were the whores sold their services at a higher price, I was a bit curious about how a 50$ fuck compared to the ones I had already sampled. My gaze drifted to two girls arguing with each other a couple blocks away from my destination, they were both wearing high heeled boots, winter-coats that ended at their upper thighs a mini skirt shirt combo for one and a mini dress for the other, I slowed down further wondering if I'd get to see a catfight only to be immediately disappointed as the brunette with the mini skirt threw her hands in the air and stormed off leaving her fuming blonde friend behind.
A pity, I gave the blonde a once over as I drove by, she noticed me took in my car and dismissed me, not that surprising really I doubt her impression would have been much better if she focused on me instead.
"James? James Grant?" The sound of my name being called in the rather empty street jarred me out of my thoughts. Slowing to a stop I focused on the quickly approaching blonde trying to remember if I knew her from somewhere. "It is you." From up close it turned out that I did in fact know her, we went to school together before the dumbass dropped out and proceeded to ruin his life. The fuck was she doing here?
"Amanda? The fuck are you doing here?"
She crossed her arms under her perky tits and huffed, cheeks blushing slightly.
"We haven't seen each other since you stopped coming to school like two months ago and that's the first thing you ask me?"
"When I find you a couple blocks away from where I'm planing to pick up a whore then yeah. What would your boyfriend say?"
At the mention of dear old joe she scowled at me. "I broke up with him." Nice hiss you got there.
"Didn't you guys date for like a year and a half?"
Her mood seemed to sour even further but I didn't much care she tended to be rather insufferable while I knew her, shoving her wonderful relationship in everyone else's face.
"That ass told everyone that would listen about our first time. The way he told it you'd think we spent the whole night fucking, we didn't, it was minutes at most and It wasn't even that good..." That would do it, also the sheer vitriol in her voice was something else.
Long story short her friend Kim convinced her that she could make some good money safely and discreetly as an escort, and she having lost her virginity didn't see a reason not to as long as she could stop whenever she wanted and so she came here only to shy away at the mention of a manager, understanding that if a pimp got his hands on her, there would be no backing out anymore.
"I'm just surprised he allowed you to leave."
She quirked an eyebrow at me. "What do you mean?"
I had to stop from rolling my eyes. "Usually when a whore even a new one tells her pimp she wants out it doesn't end with the would be whore arguing with her recruiter and walking away scot free."
"I never met him, Kim mentioned him as we were walking, that was when I backed out."
Lucky bitch. Wait... "Where did Kim head off to?"
"I don't know, probably to him, she kept mentioning that we were going to be late." The dumb bitch had the gall to shrug. Looking at the direction the brunette left I could see her and a couple of men walking back here. Oh For fuck sake...
"Get in!"
My barked order seemed to startle her and yet instead of picking up on the obvious clues and obeying like any Brocktonite with survival instincts ought to, she stood there dumbly and flapped her mouth at me.
"What?"
"That other bitch brought back some men with her, either get in the fucking car or stand there and hope the nice Asians are here to take you home."
She glanced to the side saw the same thing I did but instead of quickly getting in so we could book it she fished out her phone, took a moment to snap a picture and only then did she scramble to get into the car, I was speeding down the street and away from them the very next moment, their shouts quickly fading into the distance.
Flexing my driving skill I turned into side streets and alleyways without slowing down much.
"Slow down, You're going to get us killed!" I could have explained that we were perfectly safe but at this point I couldn't be bothered, I just wanted to get my dick wet and relax a bit instead I ended up rescuing a dumb white bitch from forced prostitution or whatever.
"I'm not slowing down until we are out of ABB territory you idiot so tell me where I can drop you off and shut up."
Turns out I wouldn't be getting rid of the dumb bitch tonight after all, her parents were out of town for a couple of days and she was supposed to spend that time at Kim's place. And so I drove, easing off on the speed while I moved through downtown, the last thing I needed was to get the cops on my ass.
"I'll need you to get down and stay low for a few minutes." Here it comes.
"Why?"
"A black guy driving a white girl around at night in these parts isn't what I'd consider safe so just shut up and do what I say."
At the motel she thankfully didn't pester me with anymore question keeping quiet as I took her number and left her to wait in the car. Once I booked a room, I slipped in first leaving the door unlocked before texting her the room number. The moment she was inside she tossed her coat on a chair and sank down onto the bed burying her face in a pillow, I honestly expected her to start sobbing or something but she did none of that.
At a loss for what to do I let my eyes roam all over her body, her skin tight dress left little to the imagination and rode up just enough to give me a clear view of her purple thong, her smooth white legs were on clear display, I felt my friend downstairs quickly swelling as I allowed my eyes to feast. Better move things along before I ended up assaulting her myself or some shit.
"You should be safe here, wait until morning and call someone to come pick you up."
I dragged my eyes away from her barely covered cunt as I spoke the words, it was time to leave.
"Either way I already paid for a two nights just try not to do anything dumb until you're safely back home, I'd hate for this rescue to be for nothing." I dropped the room key next to the tv and was preparing to leave when she stopped me.
"Wait." Her husky voice had me slowly turning back towards the bed.
She was on all four back arched, dress hiked up, thong pulled aside and a smoky look in her eyes as she looked back at me.
My mouth dried up and my cock bucked like a living thing at the sight. "You're already wet..." the words slipped past my lips without thought as I took in the sight, you'd think with how many whores I'd fucked lately that a teenage girl even a beautiful one wouldn't affect me much. I thought so as well. Clearly I was wrong. Maybe it was because I knew her? Was that why the situation was more exciting?
"I Loved how in control you were tonight, it was really hot." Her juices were clearly dripping down her thighs she was so wet. You'd think tonight's close call would have dampened her arousal.
On one hand the bitch was clearly crazy, on the other hand I was horny as hell.
Grabbing two handfuls of ass I yanked her cheeks apart until her tight folds parted slightly making her gasp in surprise, dipping my head down I gave them a lingering kiss before slipping my tongue inside for a taste dragging out a delighted moan from my partner before pulling back and letting out a long satisfied breath.
"That tasted great! It even smells nice, some kind of peachy soapy smell, with a hint of sweat and arousal, just delicious."
She giggled even as I sank back in for another taste.
"Ah~ wh-what are you like some sort of pussy connoisseur? Wh-Why are you giving me a revieeeew~ oh fuck! That's goooood~"
I didn't bother replying, focusing instead on making her sing, drawing out surprised gasps and dragged out moans as I lavished her wet folds with attention, her walls clamping down on my tongue every time I used it to explore her insides. Pulling back a bit my gaze was drawn to her pink rosebud and without thinking about it twice I dragged out my tongue from her cunt to it and back again before moving a finger to push and prod at it, her sweet moans filled the room as I took my time to really work her over, this was a nice change of pace, actively trying to pleasure my partner while I enjoyed her body that is.
When I felt that she was nice and ready I nibbled lightly on her love button, even as I slipped a finger into her Virgin ass causing her to go deathly still for an instant before exploding into a loud orgasm as she was pushed over the edge. This time when I came back up face drenched with arousal there were no words I simply started taking off my clothes as I took in her gasping shivering form.
She looked back at me heaving for breath and wide eyed. "W-what was that? It was amazing! I never thou- aahn~" I cut off her babbling by smacking that tight bubble butt as I positioned myself behind her.
I didn't know if It was sad or funny that someone this inexperienced had been talked into whoring herself out after a bad breakup. Probably sad. Pushing into her slowly had her go taut, hands clenched around the sheets as she let out loud gasping breaths with every shallow thrust, by the time I had sheathed myself inside her fully my thrusts were coming in fast and hard the sound of flesh smacking against flesh mingled with her heady moans as I pushed her down into the bed and really let loose, doing my very best to fuck her into the mattress.
Bracing my arms on either side of her head, I leaned down enough that my chest was flush against her back putting most of my weight on her even as my hips kept up their frantic pace. I drank in her overwhelmed expression as she turned her head to look at me wide eyed, unable to do anything but moan and gasp as I had my way with her, leaning the rest of the way down I captured her lips into a heated kiss. The way she clamped down on me as a result quickly pushed me over the edge, I surprisingly could have held off for a bit more but it felt too good and as I slammed inside her to the hilt one more time I saw no reason to delay not when she was trembling beneath me in her own orgasm and so I let go, shooting my load deep inside her.
Pulling out of her warm hole even as it kept on desperately milking my dick took some effort with how spent I was, but the sight of the still dazed teenager sprawled on the bed, hands clutching at the sheets, face flushed, trembling legs spread apart with my cum leaking out of her pretty pink pussy was absolutely worth it. Fishing for my phone I snapped a few pictures of what I considered my first proper fuck in this world, it had been way more enjoyable than my other encounters, maybe it was because my partner was someone I knew, maybe it was because of something else, regardless this night had turned out better than I expected.
"You came inside." She sounded surprised for some reason. To be honest pulling out hadn't even crossed my mind at the time, as for protection it was still in the car, regardless of how things worked out I hadn't actually expected to get laid.
"I did." What else could I say? If it became a problem future James could deal with it. For now I had some more stress to relieve, grabbing onto her hips I pulled her ass up and sank back into her wet fold dragging out a disbelieving moan out of my partner.
"Again?" Oh yes, considering we'd gone this far I might as well indulge.
I ended up staying with her until she could go back home, sure I paid for pretty much everything but then again I had access to an eager cunt to fuck for the duration as well, one I used thoroughly, I wonder how she'd explain away her limp to her parents. My return home coincided with my picks for the week, I wasted no time confirming my selection and dropping the Dark Souls jump at last, it wouldn't be missed.
Trying out the ring was kind of trippy, the complete lack of the usual sounds generated by my actions threw me off at first, better still I didn't need to do anything in particular to activate the effect other than wear the thing. I'd need to get a chain to carry it on when I didn't need it. The large crate of dragon scales had popped up in storage already which was convenient considering I doubted my ability to move the damn thing anywhere without ruining my back or something, so it would stay in the corner it was in for the foreseeable future.
