7.109 - Emporium VI

After Natalie paid for the item, the automaton glanced at the growing pile of discarded gear. "We'll purchase those at market price, by the way," she said, gesturing. "It's a service the Emporium o...

7.59 - ❤ Victory

Maddy was given one last opportunity to resist. As she went cross-eyed looking at the fat shadow-cock draped across her face, hot and pulsing and so incredibly tempting, she tried her hardest to re...

7.108 - Emporium V

After Malice's [Capture Core Upgrade Frame], and to a lesser extent the [Kinetic Catalyst Mallet], Natalie's expectations had been set high. So [Primordia's Embrace] didn't exactly make her jaw dro...

7.58 - Defeat

Their fundamental mistake, Maddy reflected, was relying on that conclusion they'd subconsciously come to earlier, despite Rosalie's warning.

They'd thought that hitting Delta's main body with...

7.107 - Emporium IV

The automaton mulled the question over, metallic eyes drifting up and to the right as she came to a decision.

"Hm," she said. "I think so? It's vague. Usually our problem is that you give us ...

7.106 - Emporium III

Her hostess disappeared, giving her time to think. Getting the best possible weapon was undisputedly within her top three priorities, so she didn't second-guess herself there. She had a budget repl...

7.57 - Second Duo

When Maddy woke inside a cramped box, she panicked a little. Claustrophobia wasn't a huge thing for her, but she doubted anyone liked waking in strange places barely able to move. Thankful...

7.105 - Emporium II

The automaton led them through the arched doorway and into the Emporium proper and quickly took a left turn down a smaller hallway. By then, Natalie had worked up the nerve to ask.

"Were you ...

7.56 - Relic

She and Astrid made a solid duo—definitely better than the last shard Zoey had been split up for, where Maddy had been her partner. Two backline mages weren't an ideal combo, but a tank and a dam...

7.104 - Emporium I

Natalie walked through the shopping district of the City of Eros with growing anticipation. She'd been wondering what sorts of treasures might be found in the Emporium for close to two weeks now. E...

7.103 - Loan

The City of Eros expedition continued as before. There were only two events to look forward to now: the Coliseum and the Emporium. And it would be highly illogical to enter the Emporium without fir...

7.55 - Labyrinth

In the hallway exiting the protective artifacts room, they found a large red shield and a wooden staff leaning against the wall.

"That's a relief," Zoey said. "Shard didn't leave our armor, b...

7.102 - Homing

Though Natalie was excited to discover what her level-up had given, she put off checking for a bit longer. Instead, she dragged a complaining Vanetta to the shower. She hadn't intended to ...

7.54 - Protections

While the possibility of Rosalie becoming possessed and wreaking havoc was realistic, it probably wasn't a doomsday scenario. And they didn't know how possession worked in the first place. So while...

7.101 - Stealth

Falling asleep when she knew new skills were on the horizon was no simple task. Thankfully, wringing herself dry—in a few meanings of the phrase—meant she was properly exhausted when she collap...

7.100 - Gearing Back Up

"The Emporium keys are one-time use," Natalie said as they headed for the shopping district. "That means we should hold off until the last day, right?"

"Unless we get another set, yeah."

7.53 - The Scenario

Zoey woke to a dark, enclosed space. Her hands shot out, and she traced the interior of a stone box just large enough to hold her.

A coffin?

After taking a second to calm herself, she t...

7.99 - Emerged

Despite 'tempting fate' as Vanetta had accused her of, they weren't subjected to any ambushes while lugging their earnings back. Once more, she held her breath as she passed over the inert mass of ...

7.52 - Fifth Advancement Shard

Zoey had to admit, she had gotten a better deal out of this than she'd hoped for. She had thought Rosalie would jerk her off onto Astrid at most—but getting milked by her girlfriend's thighs and ...

7.98 - Vault IV

Vanetta stuck the ruby earrings in without complaint or wince—apparently, she already had her ears pierced. Then again, she could easily grit her teeth and bear an impromptu piercing, so the more...

7.97 - Vault III

Like with the potion, a tingle went through her when she touched the loincloth, no doubt signaling that the item had bound itself to her.

The loincloth had a primitive design. A dark-brown st...

7.51 - ❤ A Leader's Role II

Astrid watched, enraptured, as Rosalie d'Celestin—leader of her team and heiress to one of the most powerful polities in the world—pumped her girlfriend's cock with both hands, a lewd, distract...

7.96 - Vault II

Natalie grabbed the prismatic potion sitting on the pedestal. Bringing the flask closer to her face, she studied the swirling multi-colored liquid inside. A tingling sensation went through her, pro...

Taking the week off

Sorry! I’m taking a bit of a breather since I fell behind schedule. Chapters will resume next Monday.

7.50 - ❤ A Leader's Role

Thinking back, Astrid had no idea how this had made sense to her. There had seemed to be logic behind the conclusion she and Rosalie had mutually stumbled upon: That while she wouldn't have minded ...

7.95 - Vault I

Halfway through their kiss, they were interrupted by the metal restraints giving way and popping off the vault door. With nothing holding her in place, Natalie fell forward, and Vanetta had to catc...

7.94 - ❤ Trials VI

Despite having been the one to loudly declare that they "should get this over with", Vanetta found herself frozen solid as she looked down at Natalie's cock nestled between her own legs. The red-ha...

7.49 - A Team Leader's Role

Zoey's daily training involved more than purely spellcraft. While something would have to go terribly wrong for her to be forced into melee combat, Rosalie considered basic physical skills, up to s...

7.93 - Trials V

Vanetta wondered how the hell she'd ended up here.

It had hardly been a sudden development. Her corruption—and yes, it was corruption—had been slow and steady, a chipping-away at her defe...

7.48 - Fourth

They spent a while recovering on the bench. Park-goers passed by, but while they made for an odd sight—three girls sitting shoulder to shoulder, all of them red-faced and breathing hard, the midd...
