I woke up the next morning to a naked Brie laying on my chest. Never thought that would happen.
I decided to go through my system while she slept and catch up on what I gained since leveling up to level 10.
It honestly wasn't much, which I kind of expected seeing how everything I have is SSS ranked. I did get up to 100 HP which was nice and my passive healing was now at 2 HP/minute without damage taken.
Brie was cute while she slept. I wondered if Chronos meant "get a party," like one with men and women, or just get a bunch of hotties that were baddies to help me clear these dungeons. I'd have to ask Brie how she thought about it.
She finally woke up, tossed on a blue, silk robe and smiled.
"Morning."
"Morning, thanks for last night."
"You don't have to thank me, but you're welcome."
"Hey, I know we did a dungeon last night… but do you think we could handle a SS dungeon tonight?"
"Yes, we could, but we'll need help! I know just the person. Let me give her a call and see if she's up to it!"
Fuck yes, she's calling another female and she seems open to the party being more female than male!
After about five minutes on the phone, Brie walked back downstairs.
"Ok so that's my best friend Sasha. She's also a S ranked adventurer but she's a vampire. I didn't mention anything about who you were so don't worry, but she requires a drink of blood from every person she forms a party with."
That's it? That's all she does to join a party. Drink blood?
"Do you think she'll make the seal and join our party for good and are you ok with that?"
"Ok Mr. Chivalry, yes, I'm ok with it, yes, she'll join once she knows who you are and aren't you supposed to be the one trying to save humanity according to your party pitch? We can't do that without a good party and strong people so… I see no problem!"
My luck couldn't get any better. This was turning out better than I ever imagined.
We ate breakfast, and Brie ran to her place to grab all of her gear and stuff. I offered to go with her to put it in my dimensional space, but she wanted to tell her parents she was moving out, so I had the afternoon to practice some of my skills.
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
Who the fuck could that be?
5'8, Red eyes. Beautiful silver hair with pink highlights. Perfect athletic body with amazing tits.
"You must be Sasha?"
"Holy fucking shit it's Sora Lockheart. No wonder Brie was so secretive. I can't wait to taste your blood."
I didn't want to be rude, so I showed her my neck right away.
"Nope, not the neck. I won't be able to control myself. We should wait until Brie gets here anyway. There's no way I'm risking drinking half god blood for the first time without someone here to make sure I don't go batshit crazy."
"Fair enough. Anyway, come on in. Do you wish to make the seal to join the party?"
"Sure, Brie brought me up to speed on the details so it shouldn't be a big deal."
System, create seal with Sasha Valencia.
The yin/yang symbol glowed on both our hands.
To finalize seal, remember, Sasha needs to drink your blood. She already drank Brie's blood before coming here.
"Well, I don't exactly have blood stashed yet, but would you like me to buy some to always have some around?"
"It's no worries, Brie said I'd be moving in, so I brought plenty, but thank you."
"Aright, go ahead and pick a room. I'm going to go shower and get ready for our dungeon exploration."
System, Inspect.
Name: Sasha Valencia. Age turned: 18. Current Age: 97. S rank adventurer. Most powerful skill: Transformation: Can transform parts of her body larger or smaller to deal more damage or avoid blows.
><><><><
By the time I got done showering, I went into my room and wouldn't you know, Sasha also decided to pick my bedroom as her room.
"Brie claimed this room too. What's up with everyone wanting my room?"
"You've been the world's sexiest man ever since you turned 18. Who wouldn't want to share a room with you?"
I laughed.
"Yeah, but I'm also the 'Ruthless' One"
"Oh, I'm sure you're just the bloodiest ruthless thing we've ever seen," she said with a huge laugh.
So, Brie told you?"
"Nah, I always figured it was a ruse. No one knows who you are, and the council can deal with pretty much whomever they need dealt with. So if someone out there was so ruthless they were causing problems, the council, including yourself, would just deal with them," she said with a giggle.
I hated to admit it, but I loved her giggle. The gods definitely were looking out for me… for now.
"I have a question, do you level up?"
"Do you mean rank up? Yes. The more skills we obtain and the more dungeons we clear we get a rating on adventurer. For example, Brie and I are both ranked S. It goes from F-SSS. I hear your SSS. That's impressive, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my time or risking my life on "The Monolith."
"What's the deal with this SS rank dungeon anyway?
Creaaaaaaaaaaak.
"Oh, hey Sasha! Glad you made it! Did you get nice and cozy here? Did you see the clothes selection he has for us? It's AMAZING. Anything you could ever desire and there's a computer in the dressing room with an open catalog. I ordered something last night!"
"Hey Brie, yes, I did, it's quite… something." she said as she bit her lip.
"Sasha, I'm going to need your help with your special vampire ability."
Hm. I didn't see any special vampire ability when I inspected her. Maybe my inspect skill isn't up to par yet. I wonder how far this system can go.
"Not to be rude, but can we all be honest and lay out the core abilities we have here?"
"Sure, my vampire ability allows me to control a vampire's temperament. Usually, vampires can use persuasion and charm on humans, but I have the unique ability to control a vampire's temperament. I'm also gifted with katanas and can use offensive magic, plus the new banshee screech you gave me!" Brie said.
"My vampire abilities vary, I can transform my body and parts of my body smaller or larger, but I obviously am stronger than most humans, have a unique blood skillset, which I'd rather not go into detail on today, but it allows me to weaponize my blood and the blood of other races."
"Well, I'm SSS ranked in all abilities but the more dungeons I clear, the more skills and abilities I learn."
"Are you fucking serious," Brie said?
Sasha just laughed with a shrug.
"Why wouldn't the Ruthless one also be perfect? Anyway, when I drink your blood, I don't think I'll be able to control myself. I'm not saying you aren't strong enough to fling me off, I just think I'll keep charging at you, so I need Brie here to make sure my temperament is calm when I drink your half-god blood. Human blood is the best tasting and most beneficial blood known to vampires, but I'm guessing blood of the gods is going to either poison me or be even more healthy and addicting than human blood."
"Well, my neck's all yours."
As Sasha bit down, a warm, sedative feeling overwhelmed my entire body. I'm not sure how much time went by, but I began feeling woozy until all of a sudden, I regained my composure.
Seal complete.
"You're lucky Brie was here, otherwise I would have sucked you dry." Sasha said, while wiping her mouth of my blood.
"I've never tasted blood so good. Do you think you'd be willing to donate some each day? Wouldn't kill ya!"
"Yeah, sure, that sounds fine. I'm not exactly a nurse though so…"
"I'm a vampire, I've drawn blood plenty of times. Don't sweat it."
"Anyway, we should probably prepare for the SS dungeon?" I suggested.
"Can you give Brie and I second, we need to talk about something?"
"Sure, by all means. I'll grab something to eat."
I made myself a sandwich and heard my name being called from a distant room.
"Over here! In our room!"
I walked in and they were both dressed in lingerie, waiting for me to get into bed with them.
I went from an 18-year-old "virgin hero" who had never kissed a girl to a guy who was about to have a 3 some on his second day in this new world.
"Guess this is the dungeon prep?"
Sasha moved faster than I could see, but my pants were already off, and she was on her knees. Brie started making out with me as she pulled us closer to the bed.
Dungeon prep indeed.
