Chapter 3
(40 years ago)
"Ugggggg come on you book worm can't you just pick something already!"
Hermione was rapidly getting irritated by this woman. She was just shoved into the arch way by the blonde ferret. Was told she had the chance to go and fight a demon lord in another world and that if she won then she would get any wish she wanted granted. She was also told that she would be able to take an item made by the divines to help her. She was excited as she planned to use her wish to make it so the Dursleys would actually care about harry. Yes, she understood this took away their free will, but with the way they treated him she didn't give a shit.
When she reached out to take the stack of papers of the various items the blue haired 'goddess' threw them into the air to have them rain down like confetti. This infuriated Hermione as now she had to gather the items to read them.
Once she sat down to try and read them the goddess conjured herself a bag of chips in one hand and a soda in the other. Crunching down on them loudly and sipping the soda as loud as possible while urging her to hurry up.
"Everything in there is powerful! You shouldn't need to look this long. So just hurry up and pick one! Fuck you're such a bookworm! It's no wonder people didn't find you attractive. Nobody likes a girl who just shoves her head into a book and reads constantly. They prefer a more outgoing girl and not a shut in reader know it all. FUCKING HURRY UP I'M GONNA MISS MY SPA APPOINTMENT IN HEAVEN!"
Hermione only grit her teeth harder to prevent herself from lashing out at the blue haired girl. She them came across a page that spoke of a book named 'tome of master spells'. The page said that spells in this new world were classed into three categories for power. Beginner, intermediate, and advanced, yet this book would provide spells far more powerful than any other can learn. Spells that are more powerful than advanced spells nobody else in the world would know! Spells that are in the 'master' tier.
"I'll take this one!" She said as she pointed to it.
The goddess rolled her eyes as she looked at it. "Of fucking course it's a book! Why am I not surprised that the boring bookworm chose a book! I should have just offered that from the start so you wouldn't waste my precious time!" The blue haired goddess flicked her hand and the tome appeared in the air before flashing at lightning speed to Hermione. She just barely managed to catch it before it smashed against her face. Before she was able to retort the ground lit up with a magic circle and Hermione began to float as the goddess began to chant. "Oh soul given a second chance by the gods! May you find the power to vanquish the demon lord and be given the gift of a wish as a reward. May you have a life of adventure and rewards deserving of a hero. You shall be incarnated into this world as a champion in my name! I, the most beautiful and powerful goddess, Aqua send you into the new world! Best of luck boring bookworm!"
The world went white and Hermione felt solid ground under her feet once more. She slowly opened her eyes to see the new world, tome in hand. She was in some sort of city with some kids running about but there was an aura of sadness as the kids weren't playing… they were running as if they were practicing running away from something. While there were some kids there were very few. Adults look sad and afraid as they looked towards the gates as if they expected death to come at any moment.
The world was so sad and depressing… she knew the reason why… this so called demon king was responsible for this… she would make this world a better place! She swore it to herself as she looked down at the tome in her hands as she set out to begin practicing this magic.
Hermione had spent the entire day trying to practice her new spells but there was a problem, she followed the instructions and attempted to cast even some of the weaker master level spells but her magic wouldn't react. She grew frustrated as nothing she did would work, when she finally decided to call it a day, she realized it was becoming late and she didn't know where to go. Hermione realized she didn't have any money and wasn't sure what to do, she started by asking some of the people around her and she found out she needed to visit the guild. Hermione realized she didn't know much about this world so she started to ask around, some people looked at her confused but eventually she learnt she needed to register in the guild as an adventurer.
Hermione became frustrated at learning she needed to pay a fee in order to register as an adventurer, she couldn't even accept a quest in order to make the money to pay the fee. She was told she could sell some of her stuff to earn the eris she needed to register; she didn't have much so in the end she traded her Hogwarts robes but kept her regular clothes. When Hermione checked over her adventurer card she saw this was how she could learn new spells, she examined the card closely but discovered she didn't have any points and a master level spell cost at least a hundred points, she groaned at seeing it was going to take her a while but at least she now knew what she needed to do.
That first night Hermione was told she would have to sleep in the stables since she didn't have any money to rent a room, she at least used her wand to clean up the stables and get rid of the smell before casting several privacy charms, she finished by casting a cushioning charm and warming charm before finally going to sleep, she hoped it wasn't going to always be this bad.
Over the next few days Hermione focused on earning enough money to finally afford a room, she didn't plan to sleep in the stables anymore. She soon ran into another problem, most quests were ones that required her to hunt down some kind of dangerous monster, she didn't think she could kill a manticore on her own so she needed to find a different quest. Upon closer inspection she discovered most quests required her to be in a party of at least two, since she was by herself it meant there were only a few quests she could take. There were plenty of simple quests but from what she saw they didn't pay much and they barely gave any exp, because of this she would take multiple simple quests each day to make enough to pay for her necessities.
Every day for a week Hermione would wake up first thing in the morning in the cheapest apartment she could afford, she'd eat her meals at the guild then spend most of the day completing odd jobs in the town or going out to gather supplies. Whenever a job needed an item repaired, she'd cast a quick reparo and finish the job quickly, she had even managed to cast an expansion charm on her new bag so it was easier to carry any herbs or mushrooms she found while out gathering supplies. With each of her jobs Hermione was able to save a good amount of money to live comfortably, however she was barely gaining any experience, she learnt that repeatedly casting spells did give her some exp but it was slow, hunting monsters would have been faster but she had been warned that it would be considered interfering with a quest by the guild and it could get her fined.
Today had been an easier day, she had accepted a job to build and repair the walls surrounding the city, reparo had quickly fixed a lot of the damage and building the wall with magic wasn't too difficult so she had been paid a good amount. Arriving back at the guild she ordered her dinner before sitting at her table and groaning, it's been a week and she hasn't made any progress, despite taking multiple quests she hasn't leveled up or learnt any new spells, she spent most of her days just trying to save up more money. She had tried to get other people to join her party but none of the adventurers knew her, most of them already knew each other and formed their own parties, just like her life before Hogwarts she was once again all alone.
Hermione heard her dinner arrived and she slowly started eating, she barely paid attention to her surrounding as she kept trying to think of a plan to get out of this situation, she heard the seat next to her move and glanced over to see someone sitting with her. There was a girl sitting next to her, she saw the girl had long pink hair and pretty pink eyes, she wore short shorts along with a long-sleeved sweater, what caught her attention though was her pointy ears and dark skin, she was pretty sure she heard someone call her a dark elf.
The girl leaned on one arm and said "Hey."
She waited for a few moments to see if she would say more but she remained quiet, she decided to speak to her, "Uh… hi."
The girl simply smiled and said "It's nice to meet you, my name is Robin, I've seen you around here a few times and was curious about you."
"My name is Hermione… I've seen you a few times but I don't think we've officially met."
The girl simply smiled and said "Nope, we haven't, I guess now is as good a time as any."
Hermione didn't know what this girl wanted, she wasn't saying much and it was starting to annoy her, before she could say anything the elf continued, "Listen, I couldn't help but notice that you don't use any sort of weapon, instead I've seen you using that wand, I wanted to ask if you know any attack spells to fight monsters?"
She wondered if the girl was interested in forming a party with her, she decided not to pass up the opportunity, "Yes, I actually know a few spells that can help me in a fight."
The girl leaned in closer with a look of excitement in her eyes, "That's great to hear, there aren't that many mages around and most adventurers never bother learning magic, I'm an archer and my husband is a warrior, we would love it if you could join our party!"
Hermione felt hope for the first time since she had arrived at this new world, she nodded and said "I would love to!"
The elf beamed with joy and said "Wonderful, thank you so much!"
Hermione saw that her luck might actually turn around, now that she was in a party she could take on some of the higher paying quests. The woman continued, "I should introduce you to my husband, he'll be happy to hear we finally got a mage to join us."
Robin waved someone over and soon a man sat down next to her, Hermione saw it was another dark elf only he had silver hair, he had the build of a warrior but wore a bright smile. Robin introduced him, "This is my husband, Jason."
Robin turned to her husband and explained how she had gotten Hermione to agree to join their party, the man gave her a bright smile and said "Thank you so much, we've been wanting a mage to join us but there aren't that many in this town."
The three continued to talk to get to know each other, Hermione explained that she was staying at a nearby inn while the two had their own place they were renting, they offered to let Hermione come live with them but she declined saying she was comfortable where she is now. In order to test how they will do as a team they had decided to take a simple quest to see what they needed to work on, after looking they found a job that required them to get rid of seven giant toads in three days, the three agreed to meet up early the next morning before heading out.
The next morning Hermione woke up early and had gotten ready to meet up with the rest of her party, she arrived at the guild and sat at their table from the night before, a few minutes had passed before the sound of heavy armor caught her attention. She turned to where the noise came from and spotted the same two dark elves from the previous night, Robin wore a dark set of leather armor that allowed her to move around easily, she had a bow strapped to her back and a quiver full of arrows, both her arm bracers looked to be made of a light but sturdy metal in order to protect her arms.
Jason looked more like a warrior with his dark set of heavy armor, despite how heavy the armor looked he looked like he was able to move around just fine. There was a sword strapped to his back, judging from its size it must have been a two handed sword.
The three soon arrived at a field full of giant toads, Robin and Jason first told Hermione they would demonstrate how they work before seeing what she can do. Robin spotted a nearby toad and quickly drew her bow, Jason rushed at the toad with his sword drawn, the moment the toad spotted him Robin fired her arrow and hit the toad's right eye. The monster thrashed in pain and Jason stayed in its blind spot, he got close and with a quick strike he sliced through the toad's head and killed it instantly. Their actions hadn't gone unnoticed as there were two toads moving closer to them, Robin prepared her bow and told Hermione to try and distract the other one, however Hermione showed them what she could do with her magic. Hermione focused on her next spell before aiming at the toad's head and casting a cutting curse, with a single hit she decapitated the toad.
Robin and Jason noticed this and were stunned at what she'd done, Hermione noticed the other toad was getting closer so she quickly cast a freezing charm. The spell struck the toad and they noticed how its body started to freeze, Jason took the chance and quickly killed the third toad while it was struggling with the ice. Jason and Robin looked at Hermione in amazement at seeing just how powerful her spells are, they thought her spells could be used to support them but they could see her spells allowed her to fight. The group of three had worked together to get rid of the remaining four toads for the quest, two of the toads had tried to get closer to Robin but Hermione was able to cast a quick incendio maxima to keep them back, once Robin took out the eyes both Jason and Hermione were quick to finish off the remaining toads.
With all seven toads dead they were able to collect their reward as the guild gathered the dead toads, they had even earned a bonus for completing the job ahead of time. The three had split the money but that wasn't important to Hermione, she had checked her adventurer card and saw she had finally leveled up and now had points. She was excited to see she was making progress, she needed to save up her points in order to learn the spells from her book.
"You were really amazing out there!" Hermione turned to see Robin had a look of amazement on her face, she continued, "I thought you just became an adventurer but you already know such great spells!"
Jason gave a bright smile before saying "We thought of asking you to support us while I fought the toads but you did far better than me, that quest would have taken us the three days but thanks to you we got it done in one morning!"
Hermione felt a bit embarrassed at the way they were treating her, she had checked over her card and saw the spells she could learn but most of them could have easily been done with her magic so she hadn't bothered with them. Her attention was drawn when Jason held out a menu to her and said "Let's celebrate our first successful mission as a team, go ahead and order whatever you want, I'll pay for it."
Hermione tried to refuse but was cut off when Robin leaned over and started pointing at different food options, the girl was practically leaning against her while she recommended different options, in the end Jason just decided to order all of it. For the rest of the afternoon Hermione got to talk more with Jason and Robin and had learnt more about them, they had both wanted to be adventurers and since they've known each other since they were kids, they agreed to form a party together. It had only been two years but the two had done pretty well, they had discussed adding a third member and they agreed it needed to be someone who knew magic, they had spotted Hermione using magic during her jobs so they agreed to ask her to join.
Hermione had told the two about herself but she tried her best to remain vague, she wasn't sure if they would have believed she was from another world and she didn't want them to think she was crazy so she kept it vague. She explained how she had gone to school to learn magic, she had been practicing for a few years, she even mentioned some of the friends she had.
Once they were done celebrating they had found a new quest to take, they agreed to meet up again tomorrow to handle it, Hermione said farewell to the two before heading back to her apartment. On the walk back Hermione looked at the amount of money she had made, even when she split it with the two of them it was still more than she would have made with her regular jobs. On the walk back Hermione had spotted a book store and after thinking about it she decided to go in, she had been in this world for a week and still barely knew anything, now that she had the money to spare she was going to study more about this world.
(One month later)
Hermione banged her head against the table and blamed the goddess for her problems. It had been a month since she had joined her party and they had been able to take on more quests, the rewards were better and she had gained more exp but the problem was she wasn't leveling up as fast as she would have liked. They had gone on multiple quests and killed plenty of monsters, even on days they didn't take any quests she still practiced her spells to gain more exp, even after all of that she had only gotten ten points. "FUCKING TEN points! It takes a MONTH to earn TEN!"
"Hey ten points in a month that is incredible speed. Usually takes people a year."
"WHAT!"
Hermione looked up to see Robin who sat down to look at her. "Yeah, I mean the fastest way for magic users to rack up points is via the crimson demons school. You go to a school and supposedly they get ingredients to make you an exp potion if you have great grades. You then stockpile your points to learn a spell, their school lasts for like one to two years or so I believe and by the end you can earn thirty to fifty points. So, you getting ten in a month is actually incredible."
This only made Hermione slam her head back into the table and groan in annoyance loudly. She knew the reason why she was getting points faster was because she was using the free point magic from her world to defeat enemies, but this worlds magic was so much more powerful but was a major pain to learn. When her world just required practice and this world only needed points but getting such points meant fighting dangerous battles every single day to acquire, she was wondering if they should take quests with more dangerous monsters, that would be a quicker way to gain exp.
"By the way Hermione… won't you please consider moving in with us please?" Robin asked as she looked at her with big wide puppy eyes.
Hermione only shook her head. "It wouldn't feel right to intrude on you two. You're married and probably want to spend some… alone time together every night. It would make things uncomfortable if I was there and heard that stuff." She said as she began to take a sip of her light alcoholic drink. She began to drink drinks with a slight alcoholic content over the past few weeks.
"Actually, my cute little bookworm, we wanted you to join our bed." Hermione immediately began to cough as some of her drink spilled down her windpipe, she looked back at Robin who was looking at her with pleading eyes.
"I… I'm flattered but I can't. I'm engaged and I don't want to cheat." She politely declined as she saw Robin deflate a bit.
"But… but your fiancé has never appeared yet in town… what if he is…"
"HE ISN'T!" Hermione snapped at her elven friend before she looked at her in guilt. "Sorry… but I just know he isn't dead. I can't explain how I know to you… not yet… but I know he is alive and well. And besides don't you want your husband to yourself? I mean even if I'm to be married, I can see he is quite a hunk!"
Robin looked sad as Hermione still refused. "Thing is, compared to monsters the population for people is extremely small and always on the decline. Some people say that if nothing is done soon then we will all be gone. The population is less than two percent of what it used to be over a thousand years ago before the demon king arrived… less than three hundred thousand people even still live. It's why kids are trained to flee since they could run… and why a lot of women don't want to have children, as they will be frail while they're pregnant and could be killed in an attack. So only women who feel safe with a strong husband will be willing to have children these days. As such… it's become common practice for a strong man to have multiple wives… Jason will be forced to take multiple wives when we return to the elven village… I just hoped… that my closest friend could be one. It would make the nights he is bedding a different lover more… comforting knowing my friend will still share my bed and help me keep it warm… and filled with passion."
Hermione knew the population was in a very bad predicament, but she didn't know it was THIS bad. She slowly looked away from Robin feeling some guilt before she felt Robin lay her hand on her shoulder. "Come on! I want to show you something!"
She took Hermione's hand and began to pull her out of the guild bar and into the streets. Tugging her down various roads until they came to an alley with a pink building with a sign that looked like a brothel. Hermione's face went pink but allowed her friend to keep pulling her. "This is a succubus dream café! Basically, you come here and you can make a request for something specific you want. Lustful dreams or a normal dream. You can design personalities, appearances, and kinks and more! I've been coming here the last few days to request some dreams of… of… you… You can use them to make some requests of your fiancé so you don't feel lonely!"
Hermione's face went bright red at that announcement of how she had been asking for sexual dreams with her, but she was ecstatic as she had been feeling lonely and homesick, this could work out well for her!
They entered and were greeted by a succubus with long pink hair and wearing a bra and panties combo that was practically string. She took them over to a private table with papers to request a dream. It said that in exchange for the dreams they would drain a small amount of vitality as payment. Hermione didn't mind it one bit as she began to fill out the form. Though she was curious at how good the dreams would be so she looked up at the succubus host for them. "How… physical will I feel the dream? Like… will I actually feel what happens or….?"
The succubus gave a small giggle and looked at her with a smile. This was probably a topic that all first time requesters make. "Well, it all depends, see if it's a dream about someone you have physically slept with or of someone you have felt it will feel a lot more realistic… as long as you give permission for the succubus who will give you your dream the right to view the memory and the sensations, providing you also described the memory to make it easier to find, versus a dream lover you completely make up. The reason is because of compatibility and stimulation a different person's body provides. Both will be pleasurable no matter what, but without a memory of that the pleasure will be something the succubus will have to decide how it would feel herself to stimulate the senses. Having a memory of passion to use will always result in far more physical pleasure."
Hermione nodded, she looked around at the café and said "I've never heard of this place before."
The succubus answered that, "We need to keep ourselves hidden otherwise the axis church would come after us, we usually track down our customers based on how sexually frustrated they feel, we slip them a coupon with directions to our shop and have them fill out the paperwork. There have been a few times they've tried to turn us into the axis church but we've prepared for that."
The succubus pulled out a coupon and Hermione saw it had directions to the café, she looked to the succubus for answers and the succubus said "Imagine you need to report this to the axis church, watch what happens."
Hermione thought about what she said and as soon as she thought of reporting them the coupon in her hand suddenly caught on fire, in a quick flash the paper burned to nothing and she didn't even feel any heat from it. She looked up at the succubus and said "You've charmed the coupons to destroy themselves if someone wants to turn you in?"
Nodding, the succubus said "Our specialties are memories and dreams, it's helped us hide from our enemies and our customers are those we hand the coupon to or a friend they bring with them."
Hermione looked impressed by the magic, she looked down at the paperwork and began to describe the kind of dream she'd want to have, "The usual Robin? I take it the dream is of… well never mind as that's private." Hermione heard and glanced over at Robin, she felt her cheeks turn red at remembering what Robin said her dreams were about, she thought of saying something but for now put it out of her mind and focused on her own dream.
Once Hermione filled out the paperwork the succubus informed her of what she needed to do, the two soon left to wait for the night. Hermione and Robin said their farewells before splitting up, however Hermione glanced back at Robin, she knew her friend was always flirting with her but to know what she actually thought of her, she felt her cheeks turn red at the thought.
That night while Hermione was asleep, she dreamt of a familiar memory she often liked to come back to. The succubus allowed Hermione to experience one of her favorite memories again, Harry and Luna found out one of her fantasies was to have sex in the library, that same night the two dragged Hermione to the library where she got to experience a passionate night with her two lovers. The next morning Hermione woke up feeling her heart was racing, her bed was stained but she had a look of pure bliss on her face. She was amazed by the succubus magic; she had felt everything from the memory as though they were there with her, she clutched her locket that was the only thing she had with a photo of Harry and Luna and admired it.
She got ready for the day, after taking a quick shower and cleaning the bed she left for the guild. Hermione kept thinking about the dream she had, she remembered what the succubus told her and she was already thinking of what other kinds of dreams she could have. She was pulled from her mind when she heard "Hey Hermione!"
She glanced up and spotted Robin, she smiled and greeted her friend, "Good morning, Robin."
Robin could see Hermione was in a much better mood than yesterday, she asked about the dream and even though the idea made her blush Hermione mentioned how wonderful it had been. Robin mentioned how amazing the dreams can feel and why so many people kept going back to the café, remembering the café made Hermione remember what Robin said her dreams were about. Hermione looked at her friend and wondered why she had told her about asking for dreams about her when she's married to Jason, Hermione realized she never asked about when they had gotten married.
Hermione decided to talk to Robin, she asked her if she wanted to have breakfast and soon the two found a small restaurant where they could ask for a private room. Once the two were alone Hermione decided to bring up the topic, "Robin, yesterday when we went to the succubus café you said you asked for dreams about me, I know you said you wanted me to join you in bed but why do you want me to, I thought you would want to spend more time with your husband?"
She noticed the nervous look Robin had, it was different from her usual cheery self, Robin took a deep breath and said "Jason and I didn't have a choice, we've known each other since we were kids and because we got along our families decided to arrange our marriage for us, they wanted us to have kids to make sure the dark elf population would grow."
Hermione was surprised by this, she hadn't thought stuff like arranged marriages still happened in this world, "So you were both forced into this?"
Robin nodded, "You see, Jason and I come from two of the last noble families, Jason's family were talented weapon smiths and they are skilled when they fight with swords. My family has a talent for archery and our magic is in tune with nature, most monsters aren't aggressive to us and we are even able to communicate with animals, it's a skill that comes naturally to us."
Hermione was stunned to hear this, it did explain why on some of their quests Robin was able to learn information about the bandits or monsters they were targeting, it also explains why most monsters never target her. "I had no idea you two possessed such great talents, still it's wrong that they forced you two into such a marriage."
Robin responded, "It's something they thought was necessary since they wanted to preserve our talents, they also wanted us to help the population grow since there aren't that many dark elves left in the world, from last I heard there are just a little under three hundred dark elves left in the world."
Hermione felt shocked at that answer, she knew the population of this world was suffering but she hadn't thought it was this bad, "I had no idea, but it's still horrible that they forced you into a marriage you didn't want!"
Robin was quick to say, "Don't get me wrong, Jason is still my best friend, we do care about each other but we aren't in love with each other. Our arranged marriage requires us to have five kids, we try but it's not something we're always focused on. I'm hoping that one day we can finally get out of our arranged marriage and actually find someone we'll love, Jason wants me to be happy with someone I'll love and I want the same for him."
Hermione felt she understood both her friends better, they had always seemed close but she had thought they acted more like friends than like lovers. Hermione thought about what Robin said and asked, "Is that why you keep wanting me to join you in bed?"
She noticed Robin's blush before she said "I know we've only known each other for a month but I… I feel like I'm falling in love with you."
Hermione was surprised by her words, she knew Robin was always close to her and often liked to flirt but she hadn't thought she was actually developing feelings for her, she continued "I know that you said you have a fiancé, he must be someone really special to you if you're already engaged, but the more time we've spent together I found myself feeling something for you, I think it's cute the way you always have your faced buried in a book, you have a really pretty laugh, and your smile is something I always want to see. I know you do love your fiancé; you've always talked about how amazing he is and how much you love him, maybe one day I can actually meet him and maybe when my arranged marriage is over then I can join the two of you."
Hermione bit her lower lip at that, she hadn't told Robin the truth about where she came from, why she's here, or what she plans to do after the demon king is defeated. Hermione hadn't wanted to tell them since she thought they would think she was crazy, however over the past month she had gotten along well with Robin and Jason, they have really become close friends and she cared a lot about them.
Hermione thought about what she should do and finally came to a decision, "Robin, I need to tell you something." The elf looked at her and waited for what she had to say, Hermione took a deep breath and said "I'm actually not from here, I don't just mean this town or this country, I mean I'm not even from this world."
Hermione explained to Robin how she had grown up in a world were only a few people had magic, she had gone to a school to train witches and wizards to use their magic, how she had fallen in love with Harry and Luna, and how she had died and was reincarnated into this world. At first Robin found it hard to believe but the more Hermione explained the more she found herself believing in what she said, Hermione had even shown her the locket she kept around her neck and mentioned it was a gift Harry and Luna had gotten her, Robin saw what Harry and Luna looked like and she felt she understood why Hermione fell in love with them.
Hermione noticed Robin's face dropped when she mentioned she would be leaving once the demon king was defeated, Robin felt some pain in her chest knowing one day Hermione would leave them. When Hermione finished explaining everything Robin asked the first thing that came to her mind, "Can I go with you?!"
Hermione was surprised by her words, she asked "W-What?"
"I… I want to go with you, I know we've only known each other for a month but you mean a lot to me, maybe when you get your wish, I could go with you when my arranged marriage is finally over."
Hermione wasn't sure if she could, Aqua hadn't told her much about the kind of wish she could make. She could see Robin was serious about her request, she thought about how well she knew Robin and felt she was someone who also meant a lot to her, she was certain if Harry and Luna got to meet her then they would both love her, especially Luna since she had said she wanted more harem sisters.
Hermione thought about it and said "Robin, I don't know if you'll be able to come back with me, but I do know you mean a lot to me too. When I first got here, I thought I would have to do everything by myself but then you approached me and asked me to join your party, you and Jason have helped me a lot and I'll always be grateful for that. I know that if Harry and Luna got to meet you then they would both love you, I don't know what I can do with the wish but I'm sure we'll figure something out by then, after all we still have plenty of time before we have to face the demon king so we have plenty of time to spend together."
At first Robin thought Hermione was going to turn her down but after hearing the rest it made the elf really happy, she got up from her seat and hugged Hermione, she was glad that her feelings weren't rejected and there was still a chance. "I love you Hermione, I hope one day I can actually meet Harry and Luna too."
Hermione hugged the girl back, she was glad to hear her say that, she would need to become strong enough to face the demon king and get her wish so they can return to her world. She heard Robin continue, "I guess I'll have to wait, at least I can still use the succubus dreams until then."
That reminded Hermione of what she had been told about the dreams, she thought about it and decided to give Robin something special. She patted her back and said "Robin, let's spend the day together, just the two of us."
The elf nodded and looked excited; Hermione wondered how she would feel at the end of the day when she finds out what she has planned for her. The two had spent the day together wandering around the town, they stopped in many shops to see what they were selling and had bought a few things, they restocked some of their supplies for when they needed to go on a quest and even did some extra shopping, Hermione had even bought something extra that they would need later. The day had quickly come to an end and Hermione asked Robin to come back to her apartment to help drop off her stuff, the two soon arrived and Robin looked around at Hermione's apartment, it wasn't the first time she had been here but she could see how Hermione decorated it to her liking.
When they entered Hermione's room, she helped Hermione begin to put everything away, however Hermione decided to speak up, "Robin, are you planning to go to the succubus café after this?"
Robin turned to her and, with a light blush, said "Yeah, I'd still like to have a few more dreams."
She heard something and looked and saw Hermione had locked the door, she was confused as to why but then Hermione approached her, Robin didn't know why but she felt her heart beat increase. Hermione stood in front of her and said "Not yet, I remember what the succubus said about how they affect your dreams, I want you to have the best dream they can give you! You're my friend and you and Jason have cared for me greatly over the past month and looked out for me so… just this once… you can have me… right now. So, this way all your dreams will have something to be based off." Robin felt stunned by her words, she was almost wondering if she was currently dreaming, however those thoughts stopped when Hermione leaned in and kissed her. For a few moments Robin was stunned but soon she started to kiss her back, she could feel how much her heart was pounding.
Hermione broke the kiss and smiled at the look on her friend's face, she reached for one of the bags and handed it to her and said "Here, I bought this for tonight, I think it'll look great on you."
Robin looked in the bag and saw what Hermione bought her, she looked at her and excused herself before rushing to the bathroom to change. After a few minutes Robin appeared from the bathroom wearing a black lace lingerie bra and panties.
She slowly stalked over to Hermione as she climbed onto the bed with her eyes roaming up and down her brunette friend. "It would seem someone is a bit overdressed." She said as she began to kiss and attack Hermione's lips. Her hands explored the bookworm's body as she grabbed the hem of her shirt and began to tug it up. Pulling away to lift it completely off of her, she began to grope her breasts through her bra before she quickly removed that to latch her mouth to Hermione's right breast. Licking and sucking it furiously. She gave the hardening nipple a nibble as her right hand played with her other breast.
Her left hand began to slide down and entered her tight shorts. Sliding down to the little pink slit she desperately has been wanting to see for the last couple weeks. She felt her smart brunette stiffen a bit before relaxing and so she began to slide her fingers across the dampening folds. After it was wet with lots of excitement, she pushed a finger inside and began to piston it in and out, enjoying the way she felt her pussy tighten on her finger before she pulled her hand away and licked her finger clean. Memorizing the taste of her precious friend who always had her head in a book.
She then went back up to kiss Hermione. Battling her tongue with her own as she shared her taste with her before she felt Hermione push her and put her on the bottom while her cute, intelligent love was now on top. Her breasts moved with every gasp. Robin's hands went down to grope her friend's ass as she sat on top of her and gripped the shorts to slide them off.
Hermione wiggled her hips and leaned forward to assist in taking them off while also kissing her dark elf friend again. She sat down on her friend's lap again only in her panties. Feeling the elf grope and squeeze her buns with a look of desire filling her face before she grabbed her head and pulled her down to her breasts. Hermione could tell what she wanted so she leaned forward to gently suck on them. Flicking her tongue on her rock hard nipples.
Eventually she felt the elf begin to push her head down lower and while Hermione felt a bit nervous, she reminded herself that this was to give Robin a pleasant memory to assist with her dreams, she wanted to give her a night of passion and love from someone she actually loved. This would be the one and only time they would do this so she let Robin guide her head down to her crotch. She grabbed Robin's lingerie and ripped them down and smirked as she saw Robin reach down and spread her lips wide open.
She slowly leaned forward and attached her mouth to Robin's folds. Her body grew hot as she heard Robin let out a cry. She heard the elf whisper breathlessly her name over and over. Proclaiming love to her and how much she cares for her as Hermione explored her depths with her tongue.
After a bit of the oral play Hermione began to attack Robins round button of nerves to make her cry out loud and pant harder and faster before Robin finally fell off a cliff of deep pleasure and a rush of fluids splashed Hermione's face.
She pulled back and looked at her blushing and panting friend before she smirked as she had an idea. She gripped her hips and flipped her over so she laid on her belly. "HermioNEEEEEE~," she cried out as Hermione gave her a sharp smack on her adorable ass.
While Robin couldn't see what she was doing Hermione grabbed an arrow she had gifted her and transfigured it to a dildo the size of her Harry darling's cock. She licked it all over before she leaned over to whisper into Robin's ear. "You're about to learn how big my fiancé is~!" She said as she began to gently push the dildo into her elf friend. Pushing it slowly inch by inch, she enjoyed the sounds of her friend's whines as she licked her lips. This brought her flashbacks to her kinky minx Luna and knew she would be proud of her right now.
"S-s-so b-b-big!" Robin squealed as the cock finally was fully inside of her. "it's a couple inches bigger than Jason's!" She moaned before she screamed as it began to vibrate inside of her.
Hermione had cast a vibrating charm on it to make it vibrate and she loved seeing her friend squirm from the vibrations. She gripped the end of the dildo and began to piston it in and out of her cute chocolate elf's quivering pussy. "You like this big fat cock don't you Robin?! You love my fiancés big long shaft pounding in and out of your tight hole! The way it feels as it stretches you wider and hits even deeper than Jason's~!" She said as she began to thrust it faster and faster. Her arm began to get tired though so she used her wand to enchant it to do it on its own. When Robin buried her face into a pillow to try and silence her squealing, she spanked her ass hard. "I asked you a question darling!" She said as she watched her friend scream into the pillow as her back arched and a rush of fluids squirted out of her pussy. She looked back at Hermione as she laid back down after arching her back with the dildo not stopping its assault on her gushing cunt.
Hermione wanted her to have as good an experience as she could possibly give her. This would be the only time they would do this so she would make sure Robin would forever remember it.
Hermione then rolled the elf over onto her back, Hermione's pussy dripping in arousal and staining her panties. She slowly hooked her thumbs in their hem as she watched the dildo thrusting into Robins pussy violently, a magical fuck machine plowing at her tight chocolate field. Hermione's pussy was burning hot in fiery arousal. She smirked as she saw Robin panting in exhaustion and pleasure as she slid her panties down and off her slender legs before she sat down on her friend's face. "LICK!" She demanded as she began to grind her hips back and forth on the elf's face.
Robin obeyed and began to lick at Hermione's dripping snatch. Licking her honey dripping folds until she screamed again into it as she felt the dildo begin to slam into her even harder and faster. Her legs spasming nonstop as her body shook and squirmed under the assault. Her moans getting louder and louder with every second as she licked at Hermione's honey pot. Her voice eventually made it to a loud scream from the dildo slamming in and out of her. Her back arched as she squirted hard, staining the bed sheets in her essence. All the while she licked Hermione's folds and attacked her clit desperately to bring her intelligent darling to orgasm and get sprayed by her juices on her face.
"Awwww, did my cute elf cum again? We have all night so you better be prepared as I won't be stopping anytime soon. Now LICK," Hermione said as Robin felt her head get grabbed and pushed deeper into her friend's cunt. She licked and sucked it furiously as her pupils became hearts under this intense assault of pleasure and passion. The whole night was filled with squeals, screams, and cries of bliss… and a few bangs from the wall as people screamed for them to be silent as people wanted to sleep… but they didn't care as tonight was about making a great passionate memory neither would ever forget.
The next day Robin opened her eyes, she couldn't move her legs no matter what she tried to do even while lying down. They were just a quivering mess as she looked up at a pair of chocolate eyes looking at her… the eyes of the one she truly loved.
"I hope you get to have much more pleasant dreams now Robin."
Robin could only nod her head as she gulped loudly and looked away with a blush and squirmed a bit before snuggling up to her intelligent friend.
"If you're like that in bed… I wonder what your two lovers are like, hopefully I'll get to meet them one day."
Hermione could imagine how Harry and Luna would love Robin, she needed to get stronger in order to get her wish. Hermione snuggled with the dark elf for a bit longer, she knew this would give her pleasant dreams and the next time they do this they'll have Harry and Luna join them, for now they enjoyed being together.
Ten years later
Years had passed since then and Hermione felt she and her team were ready to take on the demon king, it had taken many years but she was able to learn several spells that could help her in her fight against the demon king. She looked at her team and saw they were nervous but determined to finally end this. She made her hand start to glow and touched both of them, she connected her mana to them so the moment she felt them start to lose health or stamina she could heal them, she needed to rely on them to give her the opening she needed.
Hermione faced her friends and said, "I hope you're all ready, we spent the last few years training in order to one day bring down the demon king and this is where we finally defeat him. Robin, make sure your enchanted arrows are ready, I'll place the mark on him and that's when you begin firing. Jason, have your weapon ready, switch when you need to."
The two nodded, Hermione remembered when they had first approached her asking to join their team, she was grateful this couple had reached out to her.
Hermione knew going inside would put them in more risk since they'd be fighting in a tight spot and they don't know what the inside is like, instead she needed to get the demon king's attention and bring him out here. Hermione focused her magic and her hands started to glow, her friends felt the ground shake underneath them and soon they saw Hermione began to levitate several boulders, once they were high in the air, she waved her other hand at them and made the boulders far more durable, she then swung her hand outwards and launched all the boulders at the castle. The boulders destroyed walls and brought down towers, they could see she caused plenty of damage to get the demon king's attention, they all held their breaths as they waited for what would happen next.
Some of the rubble shifted and soon a figure had jumped out of the castle, the figure jumped high into the air and soon landed before them. The figure had a hood that completely hid his face but they could tell his eyes were on them, they knew this was the demon king everyone feared. The demon king let out a sigh and said "That wasn't very nice, I would have preferred it if you just knocked."
His voice sounded calm but there was a dark tone to it, the sound of his voice sent shivers down their spines. He snapped his fingers and they noticed the castle started to put itself back together, Hermione felt amazed at seeing his display of magic. Hermione suddenly felt a chill go through her and she knew the demon king was looking directly at her, he then spoke, "You, the one with brown hair, are you supposed to be a hero?"
Hermione stood her ground and answered, "Yes."
"No wonder you seem familiar, that goddess gave you her blessing." He knew about Aqua; Hermione had heard that this guy had hunted down and killed previous heroes, she focused her magic and cast her final spells on herself to buff herself, she knew this fight wouldn't be easy.
The moment the ground shattered underneath him the demon king rushed towards Hermione ready to throw a punch, Jason was prepared and moved, his staff suddenly glowed and shifted as he held it up, there was a loud impact as his staff turned into a shield that blocked the punch. The impact was more than he thought but Jason was able to hold his ground, Hermione swung both her hands forward and hit the demon king with enough force to knock him back. Both Hermione and Jason rushed at him while Robin prepared her arrow and waited for the right moment.
The demon king landed on his feet and saw Jason rush at him, his weapon shifted and formed into a two handed sword, the demon king cast spells to block the sword but Jason was relentless and kept attacking to keep him distracted. The demon king felt the ground suddenly shift and he jumped back just as several rock spikes emerged from the ground to try and impale him, he glanced towards Hermione and saw she was focused on shifting the ground to keep him off balance. Jason rushed him again but this time the demon king blocked the strike with his arm instead of a magic barrier, this gave the demon king the chance to attack, white mana formed around his hand as he swung it at Jason. Jason did his best to brace for the impact but the spell struck with great force and sent him crashing back, his armor shattered as he coughed up blood. Hermione moved and continued to manipulate the ground, she felt her spell from earlier activate and Jason's injuries healed at a rapid rate.
The demon king rushed at Hermione and red mana appeared on his fingers, he swung his arm and red lines slashed outwards towards her, Hermione was quick to react and pushed the ground underneath her up and she jumped over the spell, she used wind magic to push her farther and saw the red lines cut through the ground, thankfully her friends weren't close enough to get hit. Hermione landed behind the demon king and with a quick burst of wind magic rushed at him, the demon king turned around and conjured a sword, he swung the sword at her but Hermione was able to push up the ground underneath him and make him miss. Hermione forced the ground underneath him to rise up and impact him, the impact knocked him off balance and it gave Hermione the chance she needed, the moment she got in range she aimed her hand and focused on the demon king's chest, she smiled when she saw an X appear over his heart.
The demon king jumped back and noticed the mark on his chest, he wondered what it was but was distracted when he heard Jason yell, Jason turned his weapon into an axe and swung while the demon king was distracted, unfortunately he raised his sword in time to block. Robin saw this and charged up her arrow and fired at the demon king, her arrow moved through the air and when the demon saw it he tried to dodge it, however the arrow shifted and landed a direct hit at his chest. Hermione saw this and smiled, she just needed her friends to buy her enough time to finish her next spell. The demon king skidded across the ground before he came to a stop, he quickly jumped up to his feet and placed his hand over his chest where the arrow struck, he hadn't seen an enchanted bow and arrow like this.
More arrows were sent at him at the same time Jason rushed at him, his axe ready in hand, the demon king managed to dodge the first arrow at the last moment but just barely, the second arrow struck him but he braced for the impact, he let himself be knocked back and was prepared to land on his feet but to his shock the first arrow somehow curved back around and struck his back. This sent him flying forward towards Jason, Jason knew that's what Robin was planning, the moment he saw the demon king knocked towards him he charged up his mana into the axe, he watched and at the right moment swung the axe forward and landed a powerful hit into the demon king's stomach. They had hoped the hit would have cut the demon king in half but it only sent him flying, however Jason noticed he severely injured the demon king and there was blood on his axe. The demon king came to a halt and dropped to one knee, he held his hand on his wound as blood began to pour out, even though they couldn't see his face they could tell he was in pain.
Jason smiled at seeing he managed to injure the demon king, however to his horror the demon king suddenly healed the injury and stood back up. The demon king suddenly rushed at him and with mana charged in his fist swung and punched the ground near Jason, the impact caused a crater to appear and knock Jason off balanced. The demon king was about to attack but had to move when he saw three arrows flying at him, he saw them follow his movement so he once again conjured his sword and destroyed two of the arrows, he caught the last one and felt how it was filled with Hermione's mana and it was connected to the X on his chest, that's how they managed to hit him. The demon king filled the arrow with his own mana and sent it flying back at Robin, Robin managed to dodge out of the way but the impact of the arrow hitting the ground still knocked her back.
Jason noticed the air around him felt different, he realized it was filled with Hermione's mana, he turned to the witch and saw she stood up and ice began to cover her body, the air around them became colder and soon the entire battle field began to freeze over. The demon king noticed the clouds in the sky that he was certain weren't there before, it began to snow as he felt the ground shake and a few ice pillars appeared. Jason and Robin stood together at seeing Hermione had finished using her deadliest spell, they waited for her signal to attack. The demon king looked towards Hermione and noticed how her skin had become paler, her hair became partially frozen, she even had ice claws form around her fingers.
The demon king had to admit, "That's quite an impressive spell, I've never seen one like it before."
"It's a spell I don't use that often, I haven't faced a threat that was dangerous enough to use it."
Hermione rushed at him, she used her wind magic to give herself a boost of speed, the demon king tried to move but noticed his feet were frozen to the floor, he felt his eyes widen at seeing Hermione could use multiple elemental magics at once, Hermione got close enough and slashed her ice claws at him, the demon king felt five claw marks appear on his body, he felt Hermione infused her mana with them to make them stronger. Hermione swung again but the moment she felt his magic she quickly moved back and blocked, he destroyed the ground underneath himself and moved. Hermione slid to a stop and placed her hand on the ground before rushing at him, the demon king felt he had to keep moving as the ground underneath him kept shifting, the ice kept trying to freeze him, and Hermione was using wind magic to boost her speed. Hermione waved her hands and several ice spikes appeared in the air, she levitated them and launched them at the demon king, they all missed. The demon king felt the snow increase and her mana in the air made it harder to track her down, he had to rely on his eyes.
When the demon king dodged her, he noticed Hermione slid to a stop and placed her hand on the ground before rushing at him again, she kept conjuring several ice spears to try and attack him from a distance. Hermione raised both her hands and brought them together, the ground shifted as several pillars of rock tried to slam into him, the demon king gritted his teeth at seeing she was giving him more trouble than he thought she would. The demon king managed to dodge the pillars but suddenly felt many sharp points stab into him from all directions, he looked down at his body and saw small ice darts had stabbed into him, he realized she was manipulating the snow to form them. The demon king pushed out his mana to blow away the snow, however he noticed Hermione stopped, she stared at him with a cold gaze that had nothing to do with her ice, he suddenly felt a build up of mana and glanced over to see her two friends. Jason had pushed all his mana into his weapon and it had taken the form of an arrow, Robin had done the same with her bow, the two waited for Hermione's signal.
The demon king suddenly felt a rush of mana around him, he looked around and realized he was standing in the middle of all the ice pillars she created. Mana lines appeared on the ground and he realized Hermione must have formed them when she placed her hand on the ground, he was shocked to see she had planned this from the beginning and got him into the right spot. Hermione raised both her hands up and poured her mana into the spell, she cast, "Absolute zero: ice prison!"
The demon king felt his eyes widen as his body was encased in ice, the mana circle shined brightly until it died down and they saw the demon king was trapped in ice. Jason handed his arrow to Robin, this was their chance to end it for good, Robin readied the arrow and pulled back the string, she focused everything on the X over the demon king's heart. The moment she fired the arrow a strong force of mana was sent flying towards the demon king; nothing stopped the arrow as it pierced his ice prison and shot straight through his heart. The arrow continued for miles and destroyed anything it its path, the three friends however were relieved when they saw a gaping hole in the demon king's chest where his heart used to be.
Hermione collapsed to her knees and breathed heavily; despite the cold she was sweating as though she had run a marathon twice, she felt joy overtake her as she saw they had succeeded in killing the demon king. Jason and Robin were no different as they felt a wave of relief wash over them, they saw Hermione fall so they rushed over to her.
Robin yelled, "Hermione!"
Hermione managed to give her a smile and push herself off the ground before Robin wrapped her in a tight hug, the girl didn't mind that Hermione felt freezing, she was just happy that it was over. Jason stopped by the two and collapsed to his knees, he felt relieved at seeing it was over, he remembered how just earlier a single punch from the demon king would have been enough to kill him, he was just glad Hermione's earlier healing spell worked. The three managed to stand up, Hermione felt her spell fading away as the snow began to clear up, she looked to the corpse of the demon king and saw he remained unmoving, she didn't feel any life from him.
Hermione told the two, "Come on, we need to report this to the guild, they'll inform the king about this."
The two agreed and started to head back, they drained most of their mana during this fight and they were ready to collapse into their comfortable beds. Hermione heard a sound, it sounded like ice was cracking, she turned around and noticed her ice prison was breaking apart. She felt confused, that prison was made of her mana and should have remained for longer than just a few minutes, Hermione noticed her mana was fading from the area, she may have stopped her spell but she then felt her eyes widened when she realized something was draining her mana. They all looked back just in time to see the ice prison suddenly shatter, there was a sudden rush of mana that destroyed the entire prison. Hermione tried to feel the demon king's life force but still felt nothing, she didn't know what was going on.
Something rushed at them and Jason was the one to notice, he yelled, "Look out!"
Hermione and Robin were shoved to the side before they heard an impact, both girls looked up and they felt their eyes widen when they saw the demon king standing before them, to their terror they saw his arm was sticking through Jason's chest.
Jason stared in shock as he lowered his gaze at the arm sticking through his chest, he coughed up blood before the demon king whispered, "That. Really. Fucking. Hurt."
With a quick swipe both Hermione and Robin stared in horror as with his other hand the demon king cut Jason in half. His blood and guts spilled everywhere as he threw Jason off his arm and with a quick wave threw all the blood off his arm. Robin cried out at seeing he was killed right in front of her, Hermione pushed Robin back and yelled at her to run, she was ready to keep fighting to buy her enough time to escape. The demon king raised his hand and snapped his fingers, they felt a wave of mana wash over them before they noticed a magic circle appear. The demon king gave a sadistic smile under his hood at seeing the other girl kept running, Hermione tried to send a blast of ice mana at him but to her shock it vanished before it even reached him. Hermione tried to throw a punch but she noticed she felt weaker as though her energy was draining fast, the demon king simply brought up his hand and with a flick of his finger hit Hermione with enough force to send her crashing back.
The demon king saw the other girl kept running, he levitated a pebble and sent it flying at her, the pebble hit the back of her knee and she cried out in pain as she collapsed. Hermione saw this and pushed herself up, she yelled "Leave her alone!"
She placed her hands on the ground and tried to manipulate the ground but to her shock her spell wasn't working. The demon king ignored Hermione for now and instead focused on the other girl, he levitated two more pebbles and sent them flying, one struck her left arm while the other struck her right one. The impact caused her to scream out in pain and she felt it might have broken her arms, Hermione cast a blasting curse at him but saw the demon king easily blocked it with a conjured shield, he waved his hand and conjured an arrow, he aimed it right at the girl's head. Hermione shouted at him to stop but the next moment the demon king flicked the arrow and sent it flying, Hermione could only watch in horror as the arrow pierced through the back of her head.
Hermione saw her body fall limply to the ground with an arrow through her head, she couldn't believe it, her two friends were dead. Watching Robin die made Hermione feel a pain in her chest. The demon king suddenly appeared behind her, she turned to see him but only had a moment to see he had his palm pointed at her before a powerful force crashed into her. Hermione was sent crashing back as she coughed up blood, she felt even with her strongest defense magic that attack still caused some serious damage as she tasted the blood in her mouth. Hermione came to a stop but collapsed to her knees, she saw the demon king was slowly approaching her, she even noticed the hole in his chest had started to heal before appearing as though there never was a hole. Hermione saw the situation became hopeless, her two friends were dead and it looked like she would be next, she decided to use her final spell.
Hermione pulled out her book and adventurer card and quickly found the spell she was looking for; she had hoped she would never have to use this spell but right now she was out of options. Grabbing her card, she spent her saved up five hundred points to learn the spell, the moment she felt the rush of knowledge to her mind she immediately cast the spell. The demon king felt a rush of mana as a massive magical circle appeared, the circle was far bigger than any spell he ever heard of before and he felt the mana in the area almost started to become unstable.
The demon king asked "What's going on, what kind of spell is this?"
"My last spell, the one I had saved for you, I will make sure you never cause any more harm to this world, MASTER TIER EXPLOSION: NUCLEAR FALLOUT!"
The air around them crackled, the ground felt like it started to shake as hundreds of magic circles began to appear everywhere all around them, Hermione mentally apologized to her two friends for dragging them into this, she was certain to end it no matter what. The demon king moved towards her but it was already too late, Hermione felt the spell was ready, she closed her eyes and thought of the years she had spent there, the many adventures she had gone on, and she thought of Harry and Luna as she touched her ring once more, she had enough time to whisper one last word, "Goodbye."
There was a sudden bright light as a massive explosion went off, in mere moments the ground was vaporized as the blast expanded, the shockwave was enough to completely destroy the nearby castle. A giant mushroom cloud had appeared in the distance, it wasn't close enough to harm other people but many were terrified when they heard the massive explosion from so far away, they thought it must have been the demon king, none of them were aware Hermione had used the massive explosion to take out the demon king and herself with him.
Hermione felt her eyes slowly open and she was still breathing, she looked down at herself and saw she was still alive although she was still injured, "I-I'm alive, how?"
That blast used up the last of her magic and should have killed her along with the demon king, she didn't understand how she was still alive.
"That spell was incredible… it would have been powerful enough to kill me."
Hermione felt her blood turn cold and her heart stopped, she turned and saw the demon king was still standing, he was holding a blue and gold shield, the shield was glowing and it formed a magic barrier around them.
"If I didn't have this shield then that blast would have killed me."
Hermione tried to move but after draining all her mana she felt her body shut down, she collapsed and couldn't move anymore. The demon king approached her and made the shield vanish, he moved his hand and made Hermione levitate, he grabbed her by the throat and said "You were a greater challenge than the other heroes I slaughtered, looks like you managed to turn your gift into something useful."
Hermione felt something was being drained from her, she tried to struggle but she couldn't move at all. The demon king looked surprised at the knowledge he just gained, she could partially see into his hood and saw a smile appeared on his face. The demon king conjured a sword and with one swift move thrust it through Hermione's heart. She felt the sword pierce through her heart, Hermione felt her eyes widen as she felt her life was draining.
The demon king threw her to the ground, she felt her life was fading fast, just as she was about to die, she heard the demon king conjured something, he flipped through it before saying, "Master tier: create undead li-"
Hermione closed her eyes as her world faded to darkness.
(The next day)
Hermione slowly opened her eyes and was confused by how she was still alive. She knew for a fact she was impaled and thought back to her last memory, the demon king was using a spell… her eyes went wide as she remembered what he said and she quickly placed her hand over her heart and felt nothing! She quickly put a finger to her neck jugular to feel for a pulse but received nothing. She was turned into an undead lich!
At this moment the door opened and a tall man with a mask that was half white and half black and the number three stepped in. He wore a black suit with a white apron as he stepped in with a plate of food.
"HAHAHAHA so the arrogant little librarian woke up finally! My name is Vanir! You can call me Van, or Big V, or call me Mr. Demon on team victory HAHAHAHAHA! My king told me you should be waking up soon and had me prepare you a meal, I am to take you to the throne room to have you present for the gathering of generals! You should feel honored to be one of the first humans to become a general! Happy days for you my little insect! Oh, then again, I guess you aren't technically human anymore are you hahahahaha! Oh yes, that anger and pain is so delicious!"
Hermione was struggling to fight back her tears, tears of anger and pain. She was so angry at her life being called annoying before and after attending Hogwarts. Being called a mudblood, seen as less than others and how purebloods would look at her as if she was subhuman. Finally finding love and having it taken from her. Spending ten years in this world to save them from the demon king and return to harry. Then the pain set in at having been apart from Harry and Luna for so long. It felt like an eternity and she wondered how time worked with this as she had read theories that time in other dimensions flowed differently. Did this world's time work faster? Shorter? She had no idea. Was harry still going in their world, or has he become an old man and forgotten her! Or was he the same age as she was now! And now she wasn't even really a human anymore.
The words of how delicious her pain was to this demon clicked and she realized he was a real demon from hell. The ones who fed on humanity's dark emotions as if they were food. She wasn't going to give him the satisfaction or nutrients from her emotions and did everything in her power to bottle it up.
"Aww… your no fun!"
He sat on a chair nearby as he gave her the plate of eggs and bacon for her to eat. Once she was finished, he grabbed her by the arm and hefted her over his shoulder. "Come along Ms. Librarian we have a meeting to attend~!"
They walked through the castle in silence as they passed a training room filled with people practicing how to fight, a room filled with treasure, a room filled with weapons. A thought suddenly appeared in her head. "How… how is the castle here!? I destroyed it!"
"Ahhhh yes you did dear but us generals get into fights with each other all the time! We often destroy the castle constantly during our fights. We were scolded lots each time and so we all learned spells on how to fix and repair or else kingy would have killed us all already! Hahahahaha! Seeing his anger at the others as they squirm under his gaze is so refreshing! Their sense of dread and panic is such a delight! Your spell made it harder to repair but not impossible sweetie!"
They made it to the throne room as he dumped her in the center. She looked around and saw the massive red carpet that led to the throne with the robed demon king looking down at her. Vanir gave a courtesy bow to him before walking to stand next to a few others to the side. Choosing to stand beside a dark skinned woman in a red dress with large breasts and another who looked like a slime monster.
"Hello Ms. Granger, you're probably curious as to why I even bothered to resurrect you. Simply put, I wanted you to become one of my generals! I saw the spells you learned and I saw your life, I figured I would offer you a deal! You help me and I'll help you! You help me with the barrier spell you spent three hundred points to learn, making it so only those with permission can enter and look inside, as well as making the content inside it indestructible. In exchange when I achieve my goals, I'll take you back to your own world. Agreed?"
Hermione only glared at him as she grits her teeth. The images of her friends flashed in her head and how they died. Visions of the vacant and empty streets of the cities and villages, visions of kids being trained to run and abandoned their families for the hope they survive a demon general attack. "NO!"
Immediately the dark skin woman ran at her with rage on her face, but right before she could reach, she fell to the ground as the demon king glared at her. "DID I TELL YOU TO MOVE SYLVIA?!"
The dark skin girl shook her head wildly as she backed off back to her corner as Vanir began to laugh hysterically.
Hermione looked back up at the demon king and posed a question she wondered for a while. "What is your goal?"
He tilted his head in confusion as he looked at her and pondered her question. "What do you mean by that? It's so I can enter these… other worlds… I have an… objective I need to achieve that can only be done with me entering a different plane of existence! Once I do, I will return and rule this world!"
"Why?! Why are you killing and attacking the cities then! This world's population and the people live in a constant fear that they will die by the hand of you or your generals! There are so few children in this world because of people being scared they will die and leave their loved ones behind. Or that their children would die because of th-"
Sylvia scoffed as if the thought of people loving each other pissed her off, but a sharp glare from the demon king shut her up.
"-em! Demons feed on emotions so wouldn't keeping humans alive be beneficial as well! What's the point of being a ruler if you kill off all your subjects?!"
The demon king regarded her for a few minutes before he spoke up again. "How about a different deal then? You put up the barrier and tie in the mana of all my generals and all future ones to it. So that nobody can enter unless I want them to. In exchange," He looked over at his various generals, "all my generals will be forbidden from attacking a city and its people unless they specifically challenge them. If they are challenged to a fight then the generals are only allowed to kill the ones fighting them. They are not allowed to attack anyone who does not raise arms against them. Meaning if one adventurer challenges them, they can kill that adventurer but they have to leave the city and everyone else alone. Civilians will no longer be attacked or hunted, and adventurers will be safe as long as they don't antagonize or challenge my generals or me… agreed?!" he asked again.
There was a loud outraged cry from Sylvia and the slime general before the demon kings glare shut them up. Hermione's head lowered as she thought of this world and the life of its people, she knew that if she did this the hope of everyone would drop as people couldn't challenge the demon king as easily as they used to. Moral would drop hard… but… but they would be safe. Tears spill down her cheeks in anger and sadness that she knew there was nothing she could do to win. Her options were A: take the deal and make it harder for people to challenge him but protect the civilians of the world. Or B: don't take it, most likely get killed immediately, and everyone lives in constant fear of attacks… the answer… was obvious what she should do… even if she didn't want to.
Present day axel
Luna rubbed her darling Hermione's back while she gently whispered words to cheer her up. She hadn't expected Hermione to have been here for so long. That gave Luna a decent time frame for how much time works differently here. Hermione had been gone for about four hours and in that time frame forty years went by. So more than likely ten years here meant one hour would go by back in their world. She realized Hermione had been through so much during the time they were looking for her. Luna decided to change the subject and remembered something she had heard about the owner of this shop.
"By the way, I heard you had a cute little dark elf niece! Can I meet her and how do you have a dark elf niece?!"
Hermione shook her head as she sniffed sadly. "She was the child of my two friends I had here, they named me her godmother when she was born and we left her behind in a nearby city to be watched over when we fought the demon king. When I was brought back, I was a lich, with the explosion and the demon king's castle being rebuilt, they would assume I was dead or was responsible for the death of her parents and would check my card. It naturally said lich on it as my race now so I had decided to sneak in and take her so I could raise her like her parents wanted, I brought her here to raise her. I had to change my name because if I stayed the adventurer Hermione it would raise a lot of flags, the guild knows I went to the battle and would question me about the demon king. I had to change my name and Wiz was the first thing she said when she started talking, I think she tried to say witch because of my magic and the stories I told her of famous witches… so I named myself Wiz. She used to help run the shop with me, but she always loved magic and wanted to be an archwizard. I kept convincing her not to as I didn't want her to go down the path of revenge for her parents. Thirty years of raising her, she looks like she would be in her sixth year at Hogwarts! It's not fair elves age so slowly but I understand. Anyways she finally talked me into letting her go study magic so I'm using my money I make to pay for a special magic school in the capital. It's not as good as the crimson demon village school since they live in a small village, monsters aren't as afraid to go there as compared to the massive city with lots of guards, it makes it easier for them to actually get ingredients from said monsters to make the potions to boost your body and gain points. I tried to put her there but they refused.
So, the capital it was, and while they can't get the potions, they made a special training dummy that can be destroyed to help boost their students and easily level them up. It's much safer than just starting as an adventurer and she will have many teachers who can give her a variety of spells… I spent all my points on my magic from my gift, which is gone too… I can't summon the book anymore for some reason. I never learned basic, intermediate, or advanced magic so I would have nothing to teach her… I hope she is doing well… I miss her!"
Luna looked over at her harem sister with a sad look in her eyes, "I haven't been in this world nearly as long as you. Nor have I had to do anything like that. We went to try and find you after finding out you were taken to the ministry. When we got there and fought the death eaters, I had gotten a bunch of the time sand from the time turners dumped on me, this caused my body to begin aging randomly nonstop. I jumped through the veil after Harry and I met the goddess you spoke of. She was saying how she wanted to incarnate me as she wanted to see the 'freak show loopy person instead of the prophecy kid.' She… wanted to be entertained with me and my suffering from my random aging. She was… very venomous to me and spoke of 'my kind' as scum that shouldn't exist. I knew what she was talking about but my powers were sealed.
I told you that I watched my mum die… but I never said the truth of how and why. My mum and my sex magic are connected to each other because… they're types of succubus magic. My mum was a succubus but she fell in love with my dad and they managed to have me. It's very hard for a succubus to have a child so they were happy, but father's libido was very low so he rarely could feed mum, even with her magic. This made my mom grow weaker and weaker but there was nothing to be done. My father had… issues in the bed he couldn't … well lack of libido is one way to put it but it's more like he had a… special desire… and my mom didn't want to cheat on him at all. So, it gave him ED… it involved him watching her… take multiple other men. As a succubus I understand everyone has tastes, and I kind of like it too… seeing Harry take more women I mean, but Mum was dead set on staying faithful, and it led to her…
Anyways, before mum died, she sealed my nature away so that I wouldn't need to feed to stay healthy. When I looked through the gifts, I saw one that said I could alter my body as I pleased and thought it would stop the aging problem… it didn't! Every time I tried, the aging would start up again and change the ages of the forms I was in. Going from baby, to adult, to granny, to kid, to teen and back, always randomly changing. That's when the succubus queen of this world, Passion, found me. She told me of how desperately she has tried to have a child and couldn't. She helped me by giving me some of her blood and breaking the seal on my nature. As a succubus I age how I want, it's one of their powers to please their partners, and she thought that would save me. And well, as you can see, it did! So, she then adopted me as her daughter and here we are!"
Hermione looked up at her with a look of pity and shock. "So, your father had a cuck fetish? And because it wasn't being done, he developed ED? And wait… how is it hard for a succubus to have a baby… and why didn't your mom seal her nature too?"
Luna sighed before she looked away as if trying to think the best way to explain it. "So, a succubus has an… aura… you can say. This aura releases a person's secret and most guarded desires the longer they are with them. So, father had a cuck fetish even before I was born, but it wasn't a major part of his life. The time he spent with my mum made the desire grow with every passing day. Since it wasn't being done it developed negatively on his body. It's one of the reasons succubi don't normally settle down. It can very badly negatively affect a person if they have a kink the succubus doesn't like and won't perform, as once their desires are not being met the body effectively shuts down. Example: You will notice Harry is A LOT rougher when I am blowing him. He will steadily get rougher as he likes the sound of a sloppy oral sex or a girl choking on his cock. If this was denied for a very long period of time, he would develop ED eventually, but you won't have to worry about me not doing that! Besides, I'm certain you like it too. So, no issues there.
As for children, a succubus child can only get nutrients via mana when they're inside the womb, mana from the father, so if the father died when a succubus was pregnant then the baby's source of mana is cut off and will die. Due to this, the succubus body evolved. To get pregnant a succubus needs to have a special reservoir inside of her filled with the father's magical energy… think of it as a secondary magical core but it's completely empty. Once it is filled up with mana that all comes from a single person then the succubus will ovulate, the core will provide the mana the baby will need for the nine months in the womb. Issue with this is the more powerful a succubus means the more powerful the child will be, meaning a bigger empty core. If that core is too big and the desired father's mana or life force isn't strong enough then the core won't ever be able to be filled. It makes finding a partner increasingly hard." Luna explained.
"Next for why mum didn't seal her own nature, it's because you can't seal a blossomed succubus. Basically, as a baby in the womb we need mana from our father, but after we are born, we are pretty much the same race as our father due to his mana and blood. After reaching the age of fourteen through sixteen our bodies change and our succubus blood awakens and we transform to our real nature, this process is called 'blossoming'. The sealing done to me is a ritual to outright seal the blossoming from happening. It won't make a succubus human or prevent their need to feed. Just stops the transformation that will cause us to have to feed from happening."
Hermione nodded as it made sense before a new thought struck into her mind. "Wait this means you blossomed right? Doesn't that mean you need to feed now?!"
Luna smirked as she puffed out her chest as if she was proud of herself. "Yes, and I found a perfect way to feed without cheating on Harry! I'll feed on girls! Succubi get most energy from men… to compare: a man would be like a big dinner of steak and potatoes, versus a girl being a measly apple in terms of filling our hunger, but I found a great way to fix it! I'm opening a new shop, it's actually the reason I came to see you, my mum's magic excelled at modifying a body's sensitivity yes, but also making enchanted items like clothes and such.
I can make basic sexual clothing like lingerie with basic enchantments on them but there is also a special magic succubi can do that requires them to get handsy with a person. This lets them find out what exactly makes their nerves tingle and go nuts and then imprint it on a piece of clothing. So, say a girl gets off at exhibitionism, I stimulate her sexually while coating her in a layer of my magic. Once she gets off, her essence and her desires are imprinted on that layer. I remove that and put it in the clothes. Now the clothes will appear invisible to her, giving her the feeling of being naked. While everyone else sees her wearing the clothes. Basically, making a specialized sexual outfit to fit their secret desires.
But again, this requires me being handy and getting them off. Meaning I can also in turn feed~. Naturally due to the nature of how this magic works they have to sign a contract that they're ok with it, but it's harmless! They get a new special outfit meant to placate and stimulate their special needs and will activate automatically when wearing them, while I get to feed. Plus, I'll charge some money for it to make a profit. Otherwise, they are free to buy basic enchantments on the various sexy lingerie I will make for them! Plus, I will get to potentially find more girls for Harry!"
Hermione could only sweatdrop as she remembered how Luna kept saying she wanted more 'harem sisters'. The thought of Harry reminded her of what Luna said and her eyes widened, "Wait Luna! You said Aqua said prophecy kid, right?!"
Luna nodded, "I think Harry is somewhere in this world, he didn't appear where I was and I haven't seen him yet but I believe he's in this world with us."
Hermione swore she felt her heart again for the first time in years, Harry might be in this world too, they needed to find him, Luna explained she had gotten many of the succubi to help by giving them a description of Harry, Hermione would do her best to keep an eye out for him, they hoped they'd be able to find him soon.
The two spoke with each other some more, giving Luna some pointers on how to run a shop while Luna promised to bring her some toys and such her succubus shop would make before they went their separate ways. Luna leaving the shop and Hermione returning to work, they promised to keep each other informed about any information they hear about Harry.
Luna had spent the last few days sleeping with Hermione and learning her story and she wondered if the shop would be fully built now to furnish and start setting up. She walked again outside in only her knickers. Her wings, horns, and tail on display. She was a succubus and she will be proud of it! She didn't care if people would ogle her or not. If they did, she could just use that to her advantage to convince them to come and shop at her new store, and she would make sure they wouldn't touch her.
On the way she saw an older boy wearing a green tracksuit walking by with the goddess aqua, who screwed both her and her harem sister hard with their gifts, being dragged on the ground as she had her arms wrapped around one of his legs and she was laying on her belly on the ground. With every step he took she was dragged further. "NOOOOOO KAZUMAAAAAAA, PLEASE DON'T THROW OUT MY MR. BUBBLY!"
"YOU SPENT ALL OUR FUCKING MONEY ON THIS ALCOHOL! THAT WAS TO BE OUR FOOD AND TO GET US A ROOM IN AN INN TO GET US OUT OF THE STABLES!"
The blue haired goddess glared at him before she stood up. "It's your job to take care of me, I'm a goddess! Your meant to do as I SAY YOU SHIT IN NEET! WHY DO I HAVE TO DO ANYTHING! IF ANYTHING, YOU SHOULD BE WORKING WHILE I RELAX! WHERE IS YOUR HONOR MAKING A GODDESS WORK AS WELL!"
Kazuma glared at the girl before he shoved a finger into her forehead and pressed her head away, his expression that of someone who was pissed. "THE FUCK YOU JUST SAY YOU UNGRATEFUL BITCH! YOU ALWAYS KEEP BEING A NUISANCE AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT! YOU SPENT ALL OUR MONEY ON YOU BEING ABLE TO GET DRUNK AND TRIED TO SELL MY STUFF FOR MORE! I'M A MAN OF TRUE GENDER EQUALITY IN THE FACT THAT I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE A WOMAN OR A GODDESS, I'LL DROPKICK YOU!"
This resulted in a massive fight as they began to throw hands at each other before Aqua sat on the ground crying waterfall tears with a swollen bump on her head. As the guy began to walk away to sell the bottle of fancy wine she quickly latched back onto his leg as he resumed walking. "NOOOOO PLEASE, I KNOW, WHAT IF I GET YOU AN AXIS ELF! IT CAN BE OUR MAID! I MADE THEM WHEN I WAS AT MY PRIME AND THEY CAN WORK AS MUCH AS YOU WANT AND DO STUFF FOR YOU! THEY ARE BOUND TO YOU AND HAVE TO LISTEN! PLEASE DON'T THROW AWAY MY WINE!"
The boy stopped and looked excited at the prospect of having an elf maid, he also had a perverse expression with drool leaking of his mouth as he agreed to give her back her fancy wine in exchange for an elf servant. They then began to head to the local Axis Church.
Luna just turned away and continued to walk towards her shop. It has been seven days since it began to be built and she had heard of those two assisting in its construction from the few times she left Hermione's shop. The fact the whore who fucked both her and Hermione over was here rapidly pissed her off but she gained info on the kind of person she was. She was narcissistic and thought her more important than others, she only cared for herself, was greedy, would steal from others, blackmail them, and do anything if it meant she could get alcohol. How she was a goddess was beyond her.
She finally made it to her new shop and marveled at how beautiful it was now that it was fully built and painted. It has a nice lustful purple coating of paint. A sign with a pair of black lingerie hangs from the front porch of the shop, the succubi of the city began to bring in mannequins and such to have some showcased.
But not all was fine as the blonde girl from the Axis Church was at it again right outside of it. "DOWN WITH THE HARLOTS! THEY LIE WHAT IS ISN'T LOVE. THEY CLAIM TO KNOW PASSION AND LOVE WHEN ALL THEY WANT IS TO DRAIN YOUR MEN'S LIVES! THEY WANT TO EAT THEM AND HARVEST THEM FOR DINNER! DO NOT BE SWAYED BY THEIR LUSTFUL CHARMS MEN! US WOMEN CARE ABOUT YOU! THE AXIS CHURCH AND LADY AQUA CARE ABOUT YOU! NOT THE HARLOT'S!"
"And thus, the confused sheep tries to get everyone to boycott my shop again… why?"
The blonde named Cecily glared at her before she smirked victoriously. "You have had no customers, whore! I win! And I talked to my boyfriend and his size is definitely average at least! I knew you were lying! There is no way something that size can fit inside a girl! Your evil plan to eat the souls of our men have failed! You will not seduce them harlot!"
Luna only sighed, exasperated at the girl's naivety. "Three inches IS around average. All guys are self conscious about their size, especially if they're small, so of course he would say that. I haven't even opened my shop yet. Lastly, my shop is a WOMEN'S shop! For women to come to and get toys, magical outfits, aphrodisiac candies, and more to help spice up her and her lover's sex life. My shop isn't open to men. Only way a man gets into my shop is if a girl personally brings him in. Like say she wants to try out various sexy undies I have made and see what he likes on her the most. If the guy makes leering stares at other girls and makes them uncomfortable then he gets booted out the store! This, once again, is a WOMEN'S STORE!"
After saying all this Cecily's eyes went as wide as possible as she looked at her in confusion.
"Look, you need to get off to get you to loosen up. I can literally smell your dissatisfaction. Maybe you can come and get some stuff yourself to try and spice up your night life with your boyfriend," Luna then handed her a special coupon that she began to give out to various people and succubi to spread word of her shop. It was a fifty percent off custom fitting. "If you want to you should come and give it a try! Don't worry, I'm not planning on stealing your micro penis boyfriend, after all I'm engaged!" She said as she held up her engagement ring to Harry that rested on her finger.
"Please also rethink who you worship. I know I can't change your mind… but from what I hear about Aqua… she would sell your soul for a bottle of liquor." With that she left to enter her store before she heard the blonde cry out after her.
"LADY AQUA WOULD NEVER BETRAY A FAITHFUL FOLLOWER YOU HERETIC WHORE!" Cecily crumpled the voucher and threw it at the closing door. Meanwhile aqua watched as a few minutes later Cecily approached and picked it up off the ground and ran off with it. A curious yet confused expression was on the priestess face as she ran off with the voucher.
