Freelance Saga: Learning Curves Read online

  “They seem nice enough, and they’re your people. Obviously, they would be welcome.”

  The turtles threw their heads back and growled loudly. Scarlet smiled brightly at him. “One last question.”

  “OK.”

  She leaned forward again, her face bright red and her lips parted. “I’m a monster and a queen of my people. I would need an heir someday.”

  “You want to have my babies?” Scott was a little disturbed by how quickly this had escalated.

  Scarlet giggled then nodded. “Yeah… we would need to mate frequently.”

  “I’m not sure. I mean I have no problem with the whole mating part or anything, but… are you sure that you want to have my babies? You don’t even know me?” Scott took a slow drink of water.

  “I know, but you’re the first human to come along that I really want to breed with.”

  She had said that so casually that Scott nearly choked on his beverage. When he managed to stop coughing he looked up and said. “I can promise you that if we get along and honestly like each other, I will be happy to … mate with you. We just need to get to know each other before we start having children or anything.”

  Scarlet smiled softly. “That’s fair. If that’s your answer then I will gladly give myself to you.”

  Scott felt a soft, warm, sensation fill his body. A new message screen appeared. It told him that he had conquered Scarlet, the Dragon Queen. However, he could not accept her offer to become his property without seeing her secret.

  “Uhm… this message screen says I have to see your secret before I can accept you.”

  “My secret? Oh, yeah. I suppose that’s fair.”

  Scarlet stood up then thrust her arms down and made fists. She screamed and an incredible magical force erupted from her body. It washed over the area and nearly knocked Scott over. A blindingly bright light radiated from the core of her body for a moment then she changed.

  Scott watched as the gorgeous, and entirely human seeming, girl shifted. She grew slightly taller, wings sprouted from her back, and a long tail with a spear-like point sprouted from just above her ass. Her ears took on an elfin look, and her finger nails became claws.

  Scarlet’s skin became iridescent as tiny, nearly imperceptible, scales covered her body. Honestly, it looked more like she had been coated in glitter. She took a deep breath then covered her breasts with one arm. “This is what I really look like.”

  She was bigger, more powerful in appearance, but despite the wings and tail she did not seem much different than before. “This is my secret. I know that humans don’t like to mate with mon—“

  Scott interjected, “Wow, you were pretty before, but now you’re just awesome.” He really appreciated the graphics engine of this game world! She looked incredibly hot!

  “Wah…?” She looked at him, shock evident on her face.

  “You, you really don’t mind how I look?”

  He leaned back then stared at her incredulously. Had she never seen herself in a mirror? She was like an absurdly erotic fitness model with batwings! “Mind? What are you talking about? You’re freaking hot!”

  Her hand flew to her mouth and her eyes widened to ludicrous proportions. “No human has ever thought that I looked good in this form.”

  “That can’t be true. You’re so pretty it almost hurts to look at you. Your skin is shining in the sun, your hair looks like you stepped out of a salon, and just thinking about the rest of you makes me need a cold shower.” His shyness had worn off, in case you did not notice.

  The blush that she had sported earlier returned with a vengeance now. She seemed to be having trouble forming words. All she could do was gurgle.

  Scott thought that he had overstepped by saying such things, but he quickly learned otherwise. The dragon-girl hurled herself forward faster than he could react. She wrapped her arms tightly around him and held him in a potentially bone-crushing embrace.

  He mumbled something about needing air and her only response was, “Our babies will be so pretty!”

  It was his turn to widen his eyes to ludicrous proportions. However, it was not due so much to the fact that he had heard her say such a thing, as the fact that she was crushing him like a soda can.

  Slender but powerful arms slid back and away from the man. “There is only one thing left. You need to lay claim to your property.”

  Scott was not certain what she meant but when the girl took two steps back then dropped to the ground he began to suspect it would be something perverted. She sat on her heels, leaned back and held her body up off the ground with one hand. The other hand slipped over to rest casually atop her slit.

  “Please, complete the contract.”

  He stared at the overtly sexual position that she was in for a moment then realized what he was supposed to do. The knowledge of what the situation required surfaced in his mind. He was still developing proper awareness of all the information he had obtained today. Now that this situation had arisen, he had begun to access the deeper knowledge. He followed the directions explicitly.

  Scott pulled out the glowing sphere from his inventory and knelt down between her spread thighs. She looked up at him expectantly for a moment. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

  She submissively spread her vagina open, giving him full access. Scott dutifully slipped the marble sized sphere into her shockingly pink opening then placed his hand firmly atop his new property. “Scarlet, you are mine.”

  The dragon-girl blushed deeply but placed her hand atop his. “Yes, my body is yours for as long as you desire, master.”

  Yes, the contract between monster and master required the human master to go balls deep and lay claim to the body and soul of their conquest. Though he had not defeated her in combat, he had won her nevertheless. She had willingly become his property, to use as he desired.

  The sphere had to be inserted into the body of the monster. It was too large to swallow easily, and using the back entrance might be unpleasant. This method was the simplest of the three entry methods.

  Heat began to radiate beneath his hand. A bright light flared outward around the edges of his palm. Scarlet gasped loudly then started to buck up and down. The light race along her body and she fell to the ground.

  She began to pant loudly, lewdly, and moaned lasciviously. Her eyes glazed over with overt lust and she looked to him to finish the task at hand.

  Monsters had incredible physical prowess, enough to kill a human by accident. Now that she belonged to him, Scott had the responsibility to build intimacy with her. Having claimed her, Scarlet’s body demanded that she give herself to her new owner in an act of total submission.

  She wantonly spread her thighs further then began to whimper at him. Her other hand reached down. She used both of her hands to tug at his. “Please, master.”

  Scott had serious misgivings. For one thing, there were a few dozen turtles watching him. Their lewd grins were disturbing to say the least.

  He looked down at the girl, her chest heaved and her body glistened in the light. Her face flush with desire and the gleam in her eyes, she was not faking her desire. She looked as though she would die if she did not have sex immediately. The worst part was the fact that Scott could not be sure if she wouldn’t! This world had become far more insane than he had thought it would be.

  “If I’m going to do this, I’m going to do it right.” He moved his hand from her radiantly glowing pussy and slid them up to grasp her luscious breasts. She cried out excitedly then began to pant once again.

  “You’ve never been with anyone before?”

  She could barely speak at this point, but she managed to shake her head and say, “No, no one.”

  Scott leaned down and kissed her aching love mound tenderly. His tongue deftly party her slit then slid slowly forward. Her sudden outcry was deafening. The simplest touch had driven her to scream out. He did not know if she had enjoyed it or if he was killing her, with such a reaction.

  Gently, he found the
place he desired and he began to suck on her nub. His tongue undulated inside of her while he deftly administered to her aching pussy. He continued to massage her breasts, as well, and the combined attention was nearly too much for the girl.

  She began to cry, and he nearly stopped because of it. “N-no, keep going please master.”

  Realizing that her pleasure threshold was set ridiculously low, Scott decided that he should be gentle with her. She might not survive rough treatment at this point. He had never known anyone who became this aroused by simple oral intercourse, but he had to admit that it made him feel good about himself.

  He continued to pleasure her vagina for a few minutes then pulled back. She immediately looked up at him and unleashed a devastating pout. Scott smiled at her then reached down to lightly stroke her slit with his thumb.

  Slowly her panting subsided and she looked at him tenderly. He smiled back at her sweetly then said, “Do you want this?”

  She nodded quickly, but he shook his head. “Tell me.”

  Scarlet pursed her lips briefly then said, “Yes.”

  “What do you want?”

  She didn’t seem to understand how to answer so he reached forward and took her hand. He gently pulled it to his crotch. “Tell me what you want.”

  Scarlet stared at his crotch like it had suddenly caught on fire. “I- I want it.”

  “What’s it?”

  She swallowed hard then whispered, “Your… your...”

  “Say what you want from your master.”

  Her face turned bright red but she managed to say, “I want master to claim me.”

  “I’ve already claimed you, Scarlet. What do you want your master to do to you? You know the words to say.”

  She gasped a little then whimpered, but finally she said, “Scarlet wants her master to fuck her.”

  Scott was mildly disturbed that she had spoken in the third person, but it was kind of cute. “Fuck her where?”

  She put her hand on top of her sopping wet mound, but her master shook his head. “Say it.”

  “My… pussy.” She bit her lower lip then looked up at him.

  Scott clasped her hand, took it back to his crotch and directed her to take down his pants. She readily did as asked, and took down his underwear to boot. What they saw next was a source of astonishment for both of them.

  “Master, it’s huge!”

  Scott stared at his unholy penis and could not fathom what he saw. That was not his dick! He was a fairly average guy in that regard, decent but nothing to write home about. This, this thing, it looked like someone had installed horse parts. Alright, that was an exaggeration, but it was still much bigger than it had any right to be.

  “Do you mind that?” He asked her carefully. He wouldn’t be upset with her if she suddenly called it all off due to absolute penis terror. He certainly would not want that great evil thing shoving in and out of him if he were a girl.

  She rapidly shook her head then gripped it gently. “I did not know it would be so big.”

  Scott leaned forward and draped his absurdly large dick atop her pussy and let her take a good look. Her eyes widened and she looked concerned.

  “In... me... that is going to be inside me?”

  “Put it in.”

  “Me…? Ok.” She slid her hand along his meaty shaft a few times to find the best grip then hesitantly slid the tip between her pussy lips.

  She cried out in shock when he slid forward and went balls deep into her glorious mound. They were both surprised that it actually went most of the way in. Scott at least, had assumed that he’d have a lot of extra length left over, but she had taken most of it like a champ.

  He began to pump in and out experimentally. Apparently, she had no hymen to tear but since she was not human he did not assume she had lied about being a virgin. Besides that, she seemed like an active girl and that sort of thing could tear a hymen anyway.

  She began to cry a little and he assumed he was hurting her. Scarlet shook her head quickly then smiled at him. “No, it’s not that. I’m just happy.”

  Scott blushed at the girl then started to swivel his hips in a rhythmic manner. He had learned many simple techniques that would make an average dicked guy stand out in the bedroom. While he had not had as many chances to actively practice those techniques as he would like, he certainly gave it his all whenever the opportunity arose.

  She moaned and began to pant again. The sensations flowing through her were pure sexual electricity. Sextricity? Who knew what she would think to call it later. Right now, it felt like her body was on fire and she was about to explode.

  Scott slid his hands up to massage her tits again, and continued to rock his hips in a smooth circle while pumping gently into her aching pussy. His balls occasionally teased her asshole as he managed to shove deeper into her queenly vagina at varying intervals.

  It was not long before she erupted in a geyser of orgasmic bliss. Her love fluids gushed out, flooding her master’s pelvic region even as her body arched upward. She screamed long and hard at the top of her lungs.

  Scott thought for sure that her turtle minions would take offense to the things he was doing to their queen, since they had all gathered round and come closer. He saw, however, that they were all grinning like perverts. “You like what you see?”

  The turtles nodded happily and he grinned at them. The perverted little assholes had loved seeing their queen get pounded. Briefly, he wondered if dragon-turtles masturbated or had wet dreams. His questioning thought was answered when he noticed a few of them rubbing against the ground.

  That was not exactly a turn-on but, whatever. He had a duty to fulfill.

  He looked down at the panting queen and saw that she was looking away with a far-off gaze evident in her expression. After a full minute she slowly turned her head to look up at him. “More.”

  Scott laughed softly then squeezed her tits. Scarlet was a pretty cool chick.

  Chapter 3: Winning

  The hustle and bustle of daily life in a city was disturbing for Scott. He had grown up in a rural area and loved the quiet and the freedom to pee outside anywhere he liked. Now, however, his quiet little country trailer was like a silent tomb.

  Scott sighed loudly then looked at the clock on the wall. He had been back in this world for nineteen hours now. He had tried to sleep a short while ago, but he could not. The reality of his situation was too much to ignore.

  As was his custom, Scott began to talk to himself. “It was all real. Either I am in a coma right now, or it was all real.”

  He ran his hand down his chest then gripped the waist-band of his stretch pants. A quick peek at the goods stashed behind the thin fabric was all the proof that he needed.

  When Scott had returned to this world he quickly discovered that his body stayed the same basic shape that it had been after the tutorial. No amount of virtual reality would allow him to lose thirty pounds or gain several inches of dick.

  Of course, that led to a lot of awkward questions after his return. People he had seen briefly in recent days had noticed when he returned home. More than one no doubt believed that he’d had some sort of fat reduction surgery.

  “I can’t summon monsters or use learned powers here, but I can still access my message screens and the auction.” He was not certain about the monsters and powers, but the people at Alterra had told him that he was not strong enough to do so. None of the testers had managed it yet, either.

  He called up the auction screen and decided to look through it. He had no money to buy and no items worth selling. Still, it made sense that things for sale on the site were so expensive. This was no game. It was a truly living world. How such a thing was possible, he could not say. The fact still remained that everything he experienced had been real.

  Scott had a little over three thousand dollars remaining. He’d paid off his bills for the month and sent money to his mother to help her out a little. She struggled a bit since his father had died.

  �
�Maybe, I could buy something? I should save this money, but if there is anything available that can help me out, it might be worth it.”

  The auction house was sparsely populated with items worth mentioning. There was a lot of junk, or rather what appeared to be junk. Alterra had only hired a few thousand beta-testers, and all of them were recently allowed into the game.

  The most expensive item was a sword. “Iron blade of the Cat?” He looked at the statistical information provided and nodded. It added ten points to agility, did minor electrical damage, and granted far-sight, a skill that allowed the user to remotely view distant locations or people.

  He stared at the sword’s image for a moment then his eyes widened in recognition. “It looks like a poor man’s Sword of Omens!”

  Yes, it was not an exact replica of the famed sword from the Thundercats series, but it certainly could be seen as a reasonable knock-off production. He quickly searched through other expensive items and saw that many of them had visual aesthetics that were reminiscent of popular items from videogames and other entertainment.

  “This is either bullshit or the coolest thing ever.”

  It wasn’t until he reached the monster section of the auction that he shuddered openly. There were girls for sale! Scott immediately felt a knot rise up from his stomach to sit in the back of his throat. He thought that he might vomit, but the feeling slowly subsided.

  “What the hell! You can’t just buy and sell people!”

  He looked closely at the auction ads, fuming the whole time, but his anger began to fade. Most of the ads mentioned the need to find the girl a better situation due to incompatible natures.

  “Incompatible natures?” He thought about that for a moment. Monsters needed intimacy with their masters to grow stronger. Fighting and gaining levels would help, but their true powers only emerged after developing a strong bond. If you are not compatible with your monster then it will be hard to be intimate with them. Though, Scott suspected that many of these girls were probably just captured to be sold and the intimacy issue was just an excuse.
