Everyone decided to look at the Game Board. Ten spaces left and only a few had been taken. It was a sorry state but they had to take this seriously for now on.
Rex rolled the dice for the next. When the cards were pulled, the first one stated that only Rex could fight against millions upon millions of enemies. To Rex this was an opportunity to test himself, but to the others this was a suicide mission.
The second quest was to have sex with one of the women. However, with Likas there she was able to change it to hug one of the women. It could not be considered lust unless one wished to let it become that. Rex was thankful for that.
The last quest was the strangest of them all. Either he or the women had to stand completely naked in front of a snake for a day.
Rex twisted his head in confusion. Likas was the one to respond to this.
"This snake is the one that the current Game Master raised up. When it was supposed to grow completely large, it decided not to and to enjoy the fruits of humanoid bodies." Likas told them.
"Enjoy the fruits?" The Shadow Queen questioned.
She could not imagine what this was.
"It has weird tastes when each person decided to visit the world. Some make it dance, other humanoids have to dance, some fight alongside it, others have to fight it, but the strangest part is that the card says to just stand still.
There has never been a card like that before. Even the Game Master has not made nor seen that card before." Likas explained.
The moment of truth to know what everything had to be done. At least one woman had to enter, Rex was questioning on who should go. He finally decided.
"Likas, you said that hugs do not count for lust correct?" Rex wanted to confirm.
"Of course." She stated.
"What if I wanted to hug you for the Quest Completion for coming and not having me do lustful things? Would that constitute having betrayed the Game Master?" Rex questioned.
This shocked the women. Even Likas could explain how she felt. Every word stated was true but this felt as if cheating.
"Do it. If the Game Master feels upset, I will take care of it." Elder Maiden Frulen spoke.
Elder Maiden Frulen went to explain what happened and to ensure that the Game Master does not hurt her.
Likas entered the world with Rex. The snake that the Game Master grew showed up immediately. It looked almost like a green snake. The big eyes seemed to recognize Likas immediately and went around her body.
Likas laughed as it wrapped itself around in a playful mood. Even Rex could not help but giggle. He found that this little snake was indeed joyful.
"Well, Mikas I have a condition to fulfill for that player." Likas told the green snake.
The snake seemed to understand. She stood in front of Rex. Rex hugged her for the thanks of not having to have sex in these worlds.
For Likas, it felt weird having hugged a man. She felt sturdy in his arms. She could feel why she had fallen for the current Game Master. When someone is powerful, they seem to have the power to change hearts within these ten symbolled creatures and humanoids.
Meanwhile
"ELDER MAIDEN FRULEN!" The Game Master was angered by the hug that Likas had to give.
Elder Maiden Frulen had already told the Game Master that she had told Likas to go get the hug.
"Sometimes, it is best to watch and wait than to be quick witted and angry." Elder Maiden Frulen told the Game Master.
The Game Master went back to the throne. Watching the scene of Likas and Rex hug simmered the hatred of Rex.
When the duo broke the hug, Likas began to speak. The words struck hard with the Game Master. Elder Maiden Frulen told the maids to get the Game Master some tissues.
When the maids returned, they were shocked when the Game Master had snot running down their nose and tears of happiness flowing like rain.
The words still rang within the Game Master's mind, "Rex, thank you for allowing me to hug you. It truly made me feel the reason why I love the current Game Master. I hope that you do not kill the current Game Master and make us vanish.
I understand if you truly do not like the Game Master for the deeds that they have done over the years. Yes, most people have always just done the sexual actions just to feel closer to the person they wish to.
The hug you gave me helps me understand how Game Master choosing works. It does not take a person to challenge the Game Master. It takes someone who is truly strong both in heart and body to become a Game Master.
I give you my blessing to become a Game Master. I truly wish to stand beside the current Game Master even if you wish to kill them. I would rather die first and allow my happiness towards the Game Master to empower their strongest attacks." Likas had told Rex.
"That girl has always been too kind." The Game Master could not speak clearly.
Elder Master Frulen took the Game Master into her embrace. She knew how choosing the creatures with the Ten Symbols worked. It was hard work but well worth of wait if one could get some truly worthy.
"Rex, you have already changed the Game Master. I hope you can change their future as well." Elder Maiden Frulen thought.
As the world that Rex and Likas were in had to be completed. The Game Master told Mikas to help Rex fight against the millions in the truest form that the snake had.
Mikas felt weird about that because it could just twist and the momentum of that twist could destroy the world.
