The decision where to put those points was pretty easy. That went for both the Skill and Stat Points. The Skill Points were distributed between the three elentals that were not yet at maximum level. It seed like it would yield the most imdiate benefit – although he did contemplate Aclysia for a mont too. For the Stats, he went with Endurance, he could use more of that. He also noticed a few more windows.
That was nice. He already had an SEP for Gno in stock but he could use one for Salamander, she seed to be the next who would get there. However, the other Achievent he got was a bit more confusing.
The heck was that supposed to an? Whatever could that reward be that he currently could not access it? He sighed. ‘Not that complaining about it would change anything.’ With that thought, he left the Bonus Level. No need to keep standing in a destroyed woodland.
While he stepped out of the gate he Observed the two new items he had gotten.
Despite the na, the shirt was not actually made from earth, it just had a dark brown, earthy colour. The Attributes were pretty good so John put it on without thinking much about it. Imdiately he felt a difference in the way he perceived the world. The trance-like state he had been in earlier returned to him as he walked over the grassy plain and towards his “house”. It was less defined and not as clear a feeling but John felt more synchronized with the earth itself. Anyway, for the pants.
Wisdom and Charisma or his current bonus to Agility? The answer, John found fairly quickly, was the forr. He used Agility so seldomly it was of little use to him. Off with the old, the Agility Pants were damaged goods anyway (the Sporeling explosion had blown a giant hole into them). Now all he needed were new shoes and he was all set.
But before all of that he had sothing else to do. He walked into his room and sat down in his office chair and relaxed for a mont. This had been an intense day. He had gained two levels, so he was satisfied on that front. Facing the door, he followed the room gradually filling up with the other mbers of his party.
Aclysia had entered directly behind him and now stood at his side. She shifted around a bit, John could feel that she was unsure whether to suggest cuddles (and more) or to wait until he had requested them by himself. He smiled at that. She had grown into a kindred spirit in lewd regards. Self-actualization was a wonderful thing.
Sylph twirled into the room next. Doing a triple turn in the air before flying a giant loop and then landing on the pillow on his bed. She bounced high once and giggled, “Fluffy! I like fluffy, bouncy, and fluffy things are the best!” exclaiming, she finally ca to a halt and, for a very rare occasion, shut up.
Salamander quickly followed her. The fire Elental did her best to stay away from furniture. She was able to control her body heat and keep it at levels that wouldn’t burn anything. As a mark on John’s desk proved, slight annoyances were enough for that control to go straight out the window. Staying relaxed, she hovered safely by the window.
Undine half stepped and half poured inside. Her light blue, translucent body left the floor perfectly cleaned. The first ti Undine had walked around, John had been afraid that she would leave sticky trails everywhere but that, luckily, had proven to be false. Undine preferred to be sowhere quiet so she hid under his bed. John did not completely follow the why but apparently it was her second favourite place in the house, the first one being the shower.
Gno finally walked in. Each of her movents was heavy, even though her steps were careful. A discrepancy between her nature and her increasingly shy personality. Normally she would take her place by the plant John kept as a neglected piece of decoration (although it had made a miraculous recovery thanks to being taken care of by Aclysia) next to his desk. However, today she walked up in front of him.
She was still just like the first day he had summoned her. A small girl, four years of apparent age, with brown hair bound into small twin tails at the sides of her head and eyes of the sa colour. She wore a youthful sundress, yellow like a buttercup, whose skirt reached just to her kneecaps. No shoes, no gloves, nothing else, just the sundress and two small bands that held her twin tails. Appearances belied the shard of an ancient realm she truly was.
“Are you ready?” John asked as he pulled up his Stat Screen.
Gno took a deep breath and shook her head. She took another one, shook her head again. Then she exhaled ever so slowly and nodded. “Yes, I am, John,” she said. John used a Skill Evolution point on Earth Elental Summoning.
Sand. No, he did not plan to fight in the desert any ti soon and it sounded more like an offensive elental anyway. Out of the calculation. Nature Elental seed interesting. However, if it brought him into a similar situation as with Undine, whose offensive capabilities were really expensive mana wise, it seed really not worth it. Gno was his most versatile tool. She was good at defending him, had strong (if slow) attacks and a sturdy body. He aid to keep that, he would have a hole in his party set-up otherwise. Therefore, it would have to be Stone Elental.
A click later and Gno turned into a pillar of stone. Literally, the little girl in front of him suddenly transford into a pillar of light beige stone, reaching up to his nose in height, sothing that he only knew because he jumped up. The sudden change had really startled him. “Gno?” he carefully asked. In answer the stone started to reshape.
First it took a roughly humanoid shape, John could make out arms, legs, torso and head easily, although it was all a bit bumpy. Then the details started appearing from the feet upwards.
She wore boots of a light black, golden flower-like ornants decorating these shoes, which extended far above her ankle and halfway up her lower legs. Her legs were bare, of the pale beige colour that the stone was made of. There was a skirt once again, but this one ended a bit below her waist and was black with golden ornants, like the boots, with a white frilling at the edge. John quickly realized that wasn’t all that was to the dress though. The plain yellow sundress had been changed for a beautiful piece of design. Two-layered, the inner one was of the black skirt but also a golden piece that was lying above the soft curve of her breasts, mostly hidden by the outer layer. The sa yellow as her old dress, the outer layer looked like a sleeveless vest. Her arms had gloves of the sa structure, the inner layer black and flowers drawn in gold, the outer yellow, long sleeves dangling downwards, the whole construction closed by white, lily shaped pins.
Finally, her face ford. A cute, round face with a fine nose and pale lips, curved into a warm smile, her hazel brown eyes were slightly almond shaped. Her features were frad by the dark brown hair that ford as the last part of her body. Straight bangs, two longer strands at the sides, the rest of her long hair bound into twin-tails that fell down to her slender back, secured by hairpins decorated with yellow cloth of a buttercup design.
She had an oriental air to her, Chinese or Korean or Japanese, John was not secure enough in his ethnicity knowledge to make any exact guesses. Gno was now a woman his age in appearance, perhaps even a bit older. “You are…you are very cute.” John stamred, still startled from the sudden change
It was a mindless but true complint. He was surrounded by won he would describe as sexy. Aclysia was a sexy maid, Rave a sexy half-asian perfect girlfriend, but Gno looked more like the type one wanted to cuddle and protect, rather than plough her into the mattress. Not that his boner shared his opinion.
His boner also had a very strong opinion about what John saw in that new and updated Observe Sheet.
“T-thank you?” Gno stamred and blushed. Her voice was soft and sweet and made John’s insides feel all fuzzy. Her eyes darted to the side, back to him, she blushed harder, eyes darting away again. She raised a sleeve covered hand to her mouth and mumbled, “Uhm… I… kind of…. Now that I- I’m looking and feeling… appropriate… I do… uhm… I want to try that thing you two are always doing.” Despite being all shy about it, there was little ambiguity to those words. John had not seen this side of Gno before. How could he? It hadn’t really existed a minute ago.
Aclysia, despite being horny herself, took John’s brain ltdown-induced hesitation to quietly round up the other elentals in the room. Undine took it with tact and left on her own while Salamander had to be asked and Sylph openly shouted, “Nooooo! Unfair! I want to be a concubine too! This is an, you are anies! Sobody make taller! Sniff! Sniff! Bawl! Do you hear that! I am crying! I am cryi-” Thud. The sound of the closing door cut off the green-haired woman.
“Ca- can we do it?” Gno still did that thing with her eyes, unable to look straight at him for more than a few seconds at a ti without turning beet red.
“S-sure,” John stuttered and ntally reprimanded himself. ‘You are sounding like that virgin that you were before you t Jane. Go get her tiger!’ he talked himself up and cleared his throat, “Yes, Gno, I would love to spend the night with you,” he said in his best manly voice.
Gno looked at him for a bit longer than usual, then she giggled. It was not the intended effect but it worked well enough as Gno’s nervousness reduced to a point where John could step in front of her and put an arm around her.
Ti to make both of them happy.
