Harvest Dungeon

I could also see the energy coming off of Zephirah and Lilian, and to a lesser extent waves of multicolored clouds that covered everything. I would think I was tripping on something if I hadn"t seen the mana sight in my status. That energy was probably the mana each exuded, as well as the ambient mana I had heard Zephirah comment on before.

"You can turn it off with a thought." Lilian told me helpfully.

I glanced at her then tried to turn it off with a thought. As soon as I did my vision returned to normal. I nodded a bit relieved, the ambient mana wasn"t very bright, but it was like looking at the world through a haze. Out of curiosity I turned the mana sight back on then thought about controlling it to only see mana stronger than the ambient.

It took a second but my vision cleared while the energy around Zephirah and Lilian remained.

"Alight lets head back down." I told them.

Everyone nodded, but as I took a step towards the portal I heard a loud "ding" sound.

"What was that?" I asked Zephirah.

"That item I ordered for Vanessa arrived." Zephirah mentally replied.

I hesitated for a moment, I didn"t want to keep secrets from any of them, but I wasn"t completely sure what the item was for, and with Zephirah it could be anything. "What is it for?" I asked mentally.

"You"ll see later. If I told you, you would give it away." Zephirah replied mentally.

I frowned at the sprite.

"Trust me on this husband, it is necessary." she rea.s.sured mentally.

I still wasn"t completely sure why, but I did trust Zephirah. Probably because of the bond between us, I knew she wanted what was best for the both of us, even if I didn"t agree with her methods. Being left in the dark was difficult.

"Problem?" Vanessa asked me concerned.

I shook my head. "Just arguing with Zephirah again." I replied with a sigh then looked back to the portal to the lower floor. "Come on, let"s go deal with the fake Candice."

I was reluctant to face the fake Candice, not because I was afraid of messing up and endangering Vanessa"s family, though that did add a lot of stress all on its own. Instead I hated the fact that someone was using my sister"s appearance to fool me. I wanted to reveal their deception and… I wasn"t sure what else I could do, they weren"t anywhere where I could reach them, but the whole thing still angered me.

Going through the portal I arrived at the lower floor and shivered. Looking around I was astonished to see that the blue gra.s.s was nearly waist high. The fact that it was growing well was a good thing of course, but I underestimated the plants again. The blue gra.s.s put off a chill, that made it feel like winter. I shivered again then quickened my pace towards the house. As I went I glanced at the silver shamrock I had planted by the blue gra.s.s. While the blue gra.s.s was growing well, the silver shamrock beside the blue gra.s.s was dead. The plants more than one tile away from the blue gra.s.s was still fine which left me with a single tile of silver shamrock left, and the ten tiles of amber mint. I was a bit disappointed that the silver shamrock died, but realized I shouldn"t have been surprised. I encircled the winter vine with blue gra.s.s for the chilling effect but didn"t even consider what effect it would have on the other plants around it.

"Huh, looked like you are missing a green thumb or two." Lilian commented as she got a look at my farm.

I gave the fairy a glare then ignored her as I reached the house. Farther away from the blue gra.s.s the chill wasn"t so bad, but it was still enough that the whole floor was colder than it should have been.

I stopped right outside of the door before turning to look back at everyone. "What are we willing to tell them, and what do we need to hide?" I asked looking to Zephirah. I doubted we were going to tell them that I had figured out the orb and bonded the real dungeon. Explaining Lilian could be difficult to, we didn"t want to tip our hand to Vanessa"s recruiter. The weaker he thought I was the better.

"I am soooo not staying out here in the cold." Lilian told me while shivering.

Zephirah was shivering too as she seemed to think. "We were keeping an eye on the large number of beasts, then Vanessa introduced you to Runic Shift, having mana let you have an epiphany and race through the tests fast enough that you were awarded your own fairy trainer." Zephirah replied after a few moments. "I can take the orb in and keep it hidden with me."

I stared at Zephirah completely shocked.

"What?" she asked as she shivered.

"That is actually a really good idea." I replied then looked to Vanessa who nodded.

Zephirah frowned. "You don"t have to seem so surprised!" she grumbled angrily.

I just shrugged then pa.s.sed the orb to Zephirah, she grabbed onto it but I didn"t release it immediately, given their sizes I had trouble believing she had a good hold on it but she just glared at me so I let go.

Thankfully she didn"t drop the orb.

Now that we were all set I opened the door and went inside. Immediately I breathed out a sigh of relief as the warmth of the house washed over me.

We all filed in with Vanessa bringing up the rear and closing the door behind her.

As we had expected the fake Canidce appeared by the core controller as soon as the door closed. Scarily the fake Candice had picked out an outfit that perfectly matched my sister"s tastes. A light blue long sleeve shirt that hugged her chest and upper arms tightly but flared out at the elbows. No idea what the style was called, or the point of it, but it was something I had seen her wear before. In fact almost every move and look mimicked Candice perfectly. Except that hungry look she got in her eyes when she looked at me. I had no idea what kind of relationship the fake thought we had, but that alone was enough to remind me, she was a fake, no matter how well she acted.

"Hey guys! How did it go?" she asked sounding cheerful while she eyed Vanessa carefully.

"Mice, a lot of frickin giant mice." I groaned aloud. I didn"t have to act much, the flood of mice at the barrier still freaked me out a bit.

"Mice?" fake Candice asked surprised.

I nodded. "f.u.c.kin swarm of them came at the barrier while we were up there. Scared the s.h.i.t out of Vanessa." I replied.

Fake Candice gave Vanessa a rea.s.suring smile. "Is the barrier alright?" she asked worriedly.

I nodded. "Yeah it held, but I reached level three already." I replied then flopped down on the bed.

"Level three? Already? Must have been a lot of mice!" fake Candice replied. "Oh? Who is this?" she suddenly asked.

I lifted my head to see Candice looking at Lilian who had been hiding behind Vanessa shyly. Zephirah and the cobra orb had shifted to a position directly underneath the orb, fake Candice didn"t seem to have noticed their presence at all.

"Trainer fairy." I replied tiredly.

"Trainer fairy?" Fake Candice asked confused.

"I introduced Jason to Runic Shift as we waited for the mice horde to pa.s.s. He had played before but never did very well." Vanessa explained then smiled at me. "With mana available to him, everything seemed to click in his mind. His words not mine, but he did advance from novice to journeyman in the few hours we were on the surface level."

"Okay... um so Jason rocked a mini game inside the game." Candice said sounding less than enthused.

"Its this game"s magic system." I said aloud as if it really was Candice.

"OHH! Got it, congrats! Must have taken a while to play through that many levels!" fake Candice replied as if she really was a clueless Candice. Whoever the fake was, they were an amazing actress. "Geez, and here I was thinking you were finally getting some action." Candice commented.

I didn"t need to look to know she was watching our reactions closely.

"I wish." I grumbled irritably.

Vanessa giggled. "Not yet, but if he keeps behaving as well as he has been, I might have to think of something to reward him with." Vanessa said using a seductive voice that made me raise my head to look at her before I rolled my eyes.

"Tease." I accused from the bed getting a giggle from Vanessa and Lilian.

"Well as long as you are getting along. Anything else to report?" Candice asked.

"There should be a warning on the blue gra.s.s telling users not to plant normal plants beside it." I replied without looking.

"HMMM, oh, it gives off cold. I can pa.s.s up the message, but I doubt they will do anything. It should be a part of the learning experience of the game." fake Candice told me.

"Great." I groaned.

"Alright well I am sure you have other crops to plant. I will check up on you guys later!" fake Candice said with a smile then disappeared.

"And we are good." Zephirah said. "I am giving them an image of you taking a nap, while Vanessa and Lilian are playing together by the table."

I didn"t move, honestly a nap sounded amazing right now. Thankfully the fake Candice seemed to accept our explanation, Lilian"s presence seemed to help a bit.

"So that was your sister?" Lilian asked in a subdued voice.

"A shape changer using my sister"s appearance." I corrected.

"She is sooooo hot!" Lilian exclaimed excitedly.

I raised my head to see Lilian flying around excitedly with a pink tinge to her wings. "I mean did you see that angelic face, those deep dark bottomless blue eyes.."" Lilian started.

"Lilian." I called out to the fairy.

"And those b.r.e.a.s.t.s, oh my G.o.ddess…" Lilian continued without hearing me.

"Lilian!" I called louder.

"I bet snuggling between those divine puddings would feel incredible!" Lilian continued unabated.

"LILIAN!" I yelled angrily.

"Keep it down! I can"t maintain the illusion if you are too loud." Zephirah scolded me seriously though I could see the smirk on her face.

"What?" Lilian asked calming down.

"She"s my sister." I declared seriously to Lilian before giving Zephirah a glare.

"That doesn"t change how hot she is." Lilian replied while Zephirah continued to smirk while ignoring my glare. "Wait!" Lilian yelled then flew up to my face. "Did you ever sleep with her? How was it? I bet it was incredible!" she started ranting.

"No, she"s my sister!" I yelled both shocked and angered at the suggestion.

"You don"t look anything alike! Is she your blood sister? Cause if she isn"t….." Lilian started but I interrupted.

"She isn"t, wait, it doesn"t matter! No Lilian just no!" I told her fl.u.s.tered.

Lilian was silent for a moment. "What about the shape changer, she just looks like your sister. You could indulge in the taboo of those divine puddings, taste her sweet nectar, and plant your manly seed without ever actually touching your sister!" Lilian gushed quickly the pink on her wings turning into a red and she got even more excited.

I stared at the little fairy in shock unable to keep up with her thought process.

"I mean you must have thought about it once, the two of you entwined together in a bed unable to restrain your l.u.s.ty desires. Maybe it was alcohol, drugs, or you are just unable to resist the temptation anymore, but you push her down, run you hands over her perfect skin, mold those divine puddings in your big strong hands before tasting them. Then when you can"t handle it any more you thrust your immense sausage into her garden full of nectar. The feeling is so divine you lose your reasoning, grunting and thrusting like a beast until you can"t hold back and dump all of your seed into her fertile womb. Then you return to your senses and realize what you"ve done. Soiling the one woman you should have never touched. You worry if she might be pregnant then rea.s.sure yourself that you aren"t related by blood so your child will be fine." Lilian finally finished her tirade as she panted her red wings shifting to an even darker shade along with her face and neck.

"What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you?" I asked seriously.

"Seems she spent a bit too much time with the dryads in the fairy woods." Zephirah spoke up looking at the fairy her eyebrow raised in shock.

"Umm, I am not sure it matters right now, but that shape changer, isn"t a she." Vanessa spoke up.

The three of us all turn to look at Vanessa in surprise.

After a moment Lilian breaks the silence. "Does he at least identify as a woman?"
