Chapter 16

“Where do you think you are going with that food, Pathios?” Amenthia asked, with an irritated tone.

“Well, there are only two chairs and I figured I could sit on the bed to eat; that way it wouldn’t be a problem.”

I was surprised when Enti got up from her chair and dragged me by the arm to the table. She pushed me down into the chair, then sat down onto my lap and continued eating.

Amenthia looked at me with a smug expression and said, “See, problem solved, and you didn’t even need to sit away from us.”

I nodded and replied, “That is very true, but I didn’t want to cause an issue with you two having to choose who gave up their seat. I was trying to be fair and diplomatic about it.”

“Aw, that is sweet, but next time it won’t be an issue. Either we will make sure that we have enough chairs, or we will take turns sitting on your lap, though it will be less fun in public.”

I gave the girls a confused look, which caused them both to giggle, followed by Enti wiggling her naked bum in my lap. I quickly realized what she meant, as my cock began to grow and was soon up against the lips of Enti’s pussy.

Amenthia gave me an ‘I told you so’ look and said, “See, it’s far more fun when there aren’t any clothes in the way.”

Enti just smiled, trapped my dick against her with her thighs and continued to wiggle her hips.

“Keep that up and you will be in trouble,” I warned, trying to sound menacing. “You are being a naughty girl and they get punished.”

“Oh, my insides already feel punished,” she replied, “but it is a good one. Besides, I might even enjoy your punishment.”

Amenthia laughed at my failed threat, which caused us to join in and when the laughter died, we enjoyed our meal. Enti would occasionally feed me some of my food, which caused Amenthia to smirk at the slight embarrassment I felt. I had to admit I never imagined I would be sitting naked with two beautiful women I had just had sex with. One of those women was watching while the other had my dick nestled against her as she fed me her food while eating her own. Not even my fantasies had come up with this scenario and I found myself feeling stupid for being embarrassed when I should have been considering myself the luckiest man on this world.

When we finished our meals, I collected the plates and dishes, placing them on the trolley to return to the dining hall. When I went to start putting on some clothing, I was met with hostile grumbles from both ladies and was told that we could return it in the morning. For now, I was to come to bed so that the three of us could sleep together. It would be doable, but I realized that I would need a bigger bed, especially if sleeping together was going to become a regular thing. Since we would be staying around the Pact house, maybe I could ask Tyr, but I would do it alone so as to not get the girls’ hopes up. For now, I would bask in their warmth, their softness and their affection as I drifted off to sleep.

I woke and found myself in the room, but the girls were no longer there. I looked down to find myself still naked but knew that something felt off. When I looked back up, the Oracle was standing at the end of my bed, dressed in her provocative white dress.

“Your final trial has been completed, but the threat is far from over. Those who will mean you harm have gotten news of your achievement and mean to take steps against you. Be vigilant, for danger can come from the most unexpected places, but it can bear the ripest fruit.”

I stared at her, trying to make sense of what she was trying to tell me, but came up short. The fact that they were now going to be actively after me left me a little unsettled.

“Where there was one,” she said softly, with a hint of husk in her voice. “Now are two, but if there are more, it will depend on you!”

These cryptic riddles were getting tiresome quick, but a glint in her eye told me she was being cryptic to irritate me.

“I am sorry, I couldn’t resist it. We Oracles are in some ways like the gods, where instances of an oracle in a movie, television show or game will let us know how they are portrayed. That being said, the cryptic way they give their visions are silly.”

I gave her an exasperated look, but she just giggled, leaned forward and planted a soft kiss on my nose.

“Those who have been manipulating the labyrinth of our world’s rules, have gotten wind that you have interfered with one of their plans. The dragon was their doing, manipulating circumstances to allow it to become stronger, until it could defeat enemies on its own. Part of the reason you were sent to dispatch the Dragon, is it might have been strong enough to circumvent the protection of the stones. The Council believes that adventurers tied to the dark group behind these events allowed themselves to be defeated on purpose. This would give the monster experience enough to grow until the dragon was too much for the average adventurer. They will be watching you closely, and possibly send agents to stack things against you. The Council is aware of your idea, and come the dawn, all the crystals will turn red if they no longer work. The Council will be notified of any and all situations, looking at how it was caused and possibly by whom. We are still worried that there are those within Tyr’s Pact house that still mean to do harm - be careful of that.”

“How could anyone be able to do anything untoward within the pact house? I thought that Tyr would be able to detect dangers such as those?”

The oracle sighed, “While that is the case, we also assumed that the stones wouldn’t be circumvented as they have been. We would rather you err on the side of caution to be on the safe side.”

“What about that last part,” I said, her closeness causing me to blush. “Bearing the ripest fruit.”

“Ahh, yes. Well, you have proven to be an unpredictable element, as well as charismatic. Your unpredictability will possibly prove a hindrance to those aiming to bring down the system and could possibly turn those in their ranks against their cause. We don’t know for certain, so only time will tell.”

I gulped as I tried to find a way to ask about her final statement. I knew who she was referring to, but what she inferred was a bit alarming.

She smiled and said, “Yes, I meant exactly what your mind tells you I said. Your actions, words and beliefs could pull other such amazing women to you and possibly to your bed. Whether that happens or not will all depend on you, but if things continue as they have, you are going to wish that this planet had Viagra.”

I stared at her, bug eyed, as I realized exactly what she meant, and my mind reeled with the possibilities that could occur in the future.

The Oracle turned to leave, but looked back at me and said, “By the way, very nice equipment you have there.”

She gave me a little wink before she walked away from the bed, vanishing slowly with each step. I looked down and realized that I had been naked during the entire conversation and had been suffering from a painful erection through part of it.

I awoke again to find myself still very naked, with two gorgeous and naked beauties cuddled into my sides in mirrored position. Enti was cuddled up on my left, her head resting on my shoulder. Her right arm was curled up in the space between her chest and my ribs, with her hand laying across my chest. Her left leg was draped over my left leg and I could feel the heat of her sex radiating against my thigh. I was aware of the two hard nipples pressed into my side and the smooth back at my fingertips. Amenthia was in a perfectly mirrored version of how Enti was lying, but with more ample breast flesh pressed into me. The icing on the cake was that they had their fingers interlaced with one another’s along my stomach and I felt happiness knowing that this showed their acceptance of sharing me.

Images of what the Oracle said flashed in my mind, various types of women in their places or lying with them. I had already been hard after the dream involving the Oracle, but now it had become painful and I had a terrible urge to pee. There was no way to get out of the bed without waking the girls, but I didn’t have time to gently wake them. I realized that their position allowed me to reach low enough to swat them on the ass. I looked down on both of them as I pulled my hand back and laid two simultaneous smacks, dead center between the cheeks of their ample bottoms. The sound of the smacks, as well as their shrieks of surprise filled the room and they looked up at me with sour expressions.

“Pathios, what the fuck was that for?” Amenthia screamed, causing my ears to ring at the volume she produced.

“I am sorry, but I really need to pee, and you guys have me effectively pinned. It was the only way I could wake you up before I peed on the both of you.”

Shock appeared on the girl’s faces and they scrambled to let me up. I quickly found my boxers and put them on, not caring if that was all I was wearing. Given how things had change for me and my relationship with my girls, I found myself more confident with my body. The change in stats and the actual physicality of the fights was causing me to fill out and the scrawny nature I once had was changing. Sections of my body were trimming down as I lost body fat and growing as I was increasing my muscle tone. I wouldn’t be surprised after a few more months of this, that I would start looking vastly different than I would have if I hadn’t died. I thought back to the life I used to lead and could concede that if it had continued, I would have gained much more fat. I also found that I care more about my appearance and hygiene than I had in my previous life. I smiled at my girls, happy in the changes that had occurred due to my time with Amenthia and hopeful in the future changes that might happen now that Entivala had joined us.

I grabbed my key and made my way out of the room towards the nearest bathroom. I hurried as quickly as I could while trying not to look too foolish in case I was seen. I arrived at the bathroom without incident and quickly relieved myself of the building pressure from my bladder. Happy that the issue had been taken care of, I left the bathroom and began to make my way back to my room. It was early, so the corridors had been relatively empty when I had darted out. On my way back, I began to see people moving about the halls. I realized at that point I was walking down the hallway in nothing but my boxers and despite the confidence I had felt only moments ago, I began to feel somewhat self-conscious. That is, until I once again realized that I had two of the hottest women I had seen as both my partners and my lovers. Ignoring my fears, I walked down the hall with confidence and was surprised to see a few of the women give me an appraising stare. None showed signs of disgust, but most simply acted as if it was nothing to call home about, though a few showed piqued interest.

I knew I was still a work in progress, but I was certain that when all was said and done, I wouldn’t even recognize myself. I found myself anxious to see what I would become and what changes would happen as we continued our adventures. A few minutes later, I arrived at my door, unlocking it before I entered. I had locked it, figuring that the girls wouldn’t want anyone accidentally entering my room looking for me and instead finding two incredibly attractive and naked women in my bed. I realized that the only person who would have had a purpose for looking for me was Tyr and he already knew about them. I felt stupid for making that assumption but figured it would be a good habit to form, especially if what the oracle had said was true about a threat still being in the pact house. I found them still in the bed, just as naked as they had been when I had left, but they had embraced one another and had fallen back asleep. I carefully put on my clothing and left the room as quietly as I could, again locking the door behind me.

I smiled as I thought about the content look on their faces as I left. I vowed then to make sure to keep them smiling and happy for as long as I would be able. I made my way to Brot’k’s, hoping to talk about possible issues with the designs, and whether he needed us to purchase other materials. I arrived to find two adventurers walking through, looking at his wares, and by the looks of them, they must have been new recruits. They were looking at the old and worn armour as if they were priceless items, not knowing what lay in store for them once they started to make money. My mind drifted to the first time I was in here, not so long ago and the wonder I too felt when I saw all of this for the first time.

One looked to be a boy a year or two younger than me, with brown hair, blue eyes and a slim build. The other was a young woman around the same age, but it looked as though she was a mix between a human and another species, but I had no clue what that was. This lack of knowledge would be a problem, but perhaps with the time off that Tyr suggested I could remedy some of that by visiting the Knowledge Center. I would ask my ladies about that later but for now I figured I would talk to Brot’k and find out how things were coming.

“Ah, Pathios, my friend, good to see you,” he exclaimed, drawing the attention of the two in the shop. “I didn’t expect to see you so soon, what can I do for you, my friend?”

I smiled and said, “I wanted to go over the things I had sent out for order, to make sure there are no issues with them.”

His eyes widened until he realized that I was phrasing it to hide his smithing, though I was surprised that no one had heard him working. Though I am sure they would just think that he was working on maintaining his used stock for the new recruits.

“Of course. What is it that you wanted to discuss?” He asked as he pulled out drawings that he had made of the armour he was making.

“Given the mixture of scale plates and hide, will this still have the range of movement of the first armour set I had?”

Brot’k thought about it for a few moments, “Yes, it should. The hide is very versatile, despite how thin it is, and the scales are fairly strong. I take it you are hoping to get something similar to the first armour set, if possible?”

I nodded, “Not so much for the look, more for the durability and range of motion that was in that first set. The other issue I have would be the breathability of the material. If it is too thick or heavy, it would cause us to sweat in very hot climates. If it isn’t thick enough, we would be susceptible to the cold, so you can understand my worry.”

“You pose a good question, but you will have some protection from heat, given the insulation the scales and hide inherently possess. The cloaks you have will assist with the cold and are light enough that you will not need to worry about them hindering your movement during a battle.”

That was a relief, as silly things like that could cause us issues on the later floors if we were not careful.

Brot’k pushed forward the drawings that he had of the armour design and I was amazed. It looked as if it would be a different version of the original minotaur hide armour, but much more versatile. The scales would be shaped to shield the hard points of the armour, where the vital organs needed to be protected. Chest, abs, lats, shoulders, deltoids, biceps and triceps, legs - even the calves. It looked like he was planning on using the scales to cover most muscle groups, with the hide in between them. Given the length of the leg muscles, there would be gapes along the path of the muscle to allow the needed bending of the leg. It reminded me of the legs of the Christian Bale, Dark Knight armor that they designed. Due to the natural stretchy nature of hide, it would become more flexible as I used it and provide good protection for fighting. It was not unlike how the Dark Knight bat suit had armour plates and the flexible under suit. Amenthia’s design was the same, though fit to her build and the hard points were less pronounced. It was more like the armour under the bat suit in the Justice League movie. The helmets were the same Captain America style, though hers had more open eye pieces to provide unlimited vision.

“Brot’k, is there anything slightly tinted, like glass, but strong enough to survive battles without shattering in Amenthia’s eyes and blinding her?”

Brot’k laughed at my statement, “Yeah, there is something I could get added, but why would you want it tinted?”

“If the tint is yellow, it would naturally brighten everything she sees, but it would also have to have a secondary tint to prevent glare.”

Brot’k nodded and began writing onto her design, making notes of what needed to be adjusted.

“Have you heard back yet on my suggestions about getting help for Entivala’s equipment?”

“Tyr knows two who would match what you suggested, who are looking to practice their craft without the scrutiny of the smith guilds. The runesmith is an adventurer, as well, which means procuring the materials would take a little bit of time but would be less costly. As for her equipment, I plan to wait, as the other craftsman is someone who could make her armor as you requested. Between the three of us, I am confident that we should have your work done by the end of this week, or five days.”

“Awesome, Brot’k, thank you for all your help,” I exclaimed, patting him on the shoulder. “I better get going but let me know by raven if you need anything from me.”

Brot’k nodded and said, “I will, my friend, so don’t worry. Say hello to Amenthia and Entivala for me when you see them.”

I smiled and nodded as I turned to make my way out, seeing the two adventurers behind me with looks of awe.

“Uh, hello there,” I stammered, embarrassed by the looks they were giving me. “Is there something I could help you with?”

“You are Pathios Daxion,” the girl whispered, a slight blush coming to her face. “You are famous. We have never met a famous person before,” replied the boy.

“Well, it is a pleasure to meet both of you, though I doubt I’m famous. Make sure you listen to Brot’k, he will make sure you are equipped correctly and that will help you immensely in the Dungeon.”

Both smiled and nodded energetically before going around me to talk to Brot’k. I looked back and smiled before I left and headed back to the room. I unlocked the door, and as I entered, was immediately attacked by flying pillows. The first one hit me square in the face, while the other hit my belly. I looked at the bed to see two naked and irritated women looking daggers at me.
