"Lakshimi, are you single."
Skylar projects his voice to Lakshimi as they reach in front of a very large red-colored chaise lounge hung by fibre ropes on the large trees so that it can swing from it.
"Yes, Lord."
Lakshimi sweet voice although tiny and a bit inaudible was caught by Skylar.
Great...
Receiving the reply he wants, Skylar grinned. He pried his hands from the twins suddenly and swiftly, and before they and the others in the group could react, his figure appeared carrying Lakshimi in his hand while smiling at her as she realize what's going on.
"Wow!!! Big man is so manly."
"Yeah julia, he is cool too!"
The twins wowed, exclaimed. The aloof beauty behind them remained expressionless as she watches skylar thoughtfully. And the three other stunning beauties like they have always reacted, cover their mouth with their hands and chatter in whispering voices.
Blushing and flustered, Lakshimi buried her face into Skylar's chest.
She is cute though. I just hope she doesn't loose it easily like the others...
Skylar looking at her smiling; in a weird fluid, rapid and light movement, lands on the enormous chaise lounge quietly- sitting on it with Lakshimi on his laps and her upper body on his broad chest.
"Sofia, big man has taken a liking to us apparently."
"Yeah julia. And if he can truly protect us, there is nothing stopping us sisters from following him."
"I thought so too sofia."
The twins converse as they climb the suspended and apparently stable chaise lounge after Skylar.
Simultaneously as they both flanked him- sitting beside him shoulders touching; the aloof beauty followed by the three other stunning beauty climb after them and find their place around Skylar- sitting and lying comfortably.
This twin milf are definitely strange. How can they not be intoxicated still?
Skylar amused, he chuckled softly as he look into Lakshimi's misty eyes.
Lakshimi fighting against intoxication as she breathes heavily, trying not to squirm embarrassingly, look back at Skylar in a silly manner like she expects him to ease her of her pleasurable misery.
"Lord! Can't you do something about your breath?"
The aloof beauty lying face up on a pillow placed on Skylar's crossed calfs broke the silence.
"What's that about, Alex?"
Julia and sofia simultaneously inquired, both looking inquisitively at the aloof beauty first and then at Skylar simultaneously.
"So your name is Alex."
Skylar ignoring the twins curious gazes smiled at the aloof beauty who is looking up at the starry scenery of the heaven through the tree foliage.
"My name is Alexa, my lord. Alex is my player name."
"I understand... I can't do that for now." Skylar explains answering her earlier question. "My affinity is natural energy. And for some reason it happens to be spiritual in nature... Even if there is a way i can dispel every ounce of it from my systems, there will still be my spirit i can't do anything about..."
"But lord, why is yours spiritual?" Alexa eyes turned to look at Skylar and caught his. She continued, "Natural energy in general should be a combination of one or more elemental energy and life energy. Is it not?"
"Alex and her obsession with energies."
Julia said in an angry but playful manner, then pouted, expressing her discontent the others agreed with about the topic of conversation Alex started.
"Can't you see i am doing this for leader Lakshimi." Alex retorted.
"Lakshimi is the leader of their faction. The faction that advocates for the addition of strong men into our faction. Hihihi...."
Yami who is sitting beside Skylar and who seems to appear out of nowhere as her voice took him by surprise unlike the others who are unbothered abour her random intrusion giggled at him as he turn to look at her.
She is very very dangerous.
"Sky! Do you want to break her." Yami rose, move closer to Skylar and place a finger on Lakshimi who is still battling with intense pleasure and intoxication that stems from Skylar's natural breath that has been flooding her systems. "She is still a maiden unlike this two dirty whores. I bet they can't wait to swallow you..."
"Great elder, that is slander. We are not whores. We select our mate carefully..."
"Yes, we choose the very best of the best available..."
While the twins defend themselves, Lakshimi opened her eyes, regaining rationality and look at Skylar's face before burying her face blushing from embarrassment in his chest.
Skylar who smiled at Lakshimi when she looked at him look to the side at Yami who has reclaimed her seat a short distance beside him.
"Yami, what do you mean earlier by factions?"
After Skylar questioned, silence descended as everyone alongside him wait for Yami's reply
"Its as i mentioned earlier." Yami replies. "There are two factions within our faction. One is their faction led by Lakshimi and you can say they are a faction that have nothing against men in general. But there is this second faction, the men hater lezbo faction... Hihihi... And as you saw earlier, they are the one who challenged you to a duel. a
And their leader just happens to be that very beautiful chick you intimidated.... Hihihi... You guessed right, she is the one standing in your way of establishing the greatest faction ever..."
"Wait! wait!! wait!!! Yami." Skylar interrupts urgently.
"Sky, what is it?"
Skylar's eyes squinted as he looks at Yami who is smiling back at him.
"What's establishing a faction about? Was i not going to join your faction as a member? The first male member."
"Hmm..." Yami put a hand on his chin, looking downward before looking back at Skylar. "I thought i sent you some files. Have you gone through them?"
"Ack... I forgot." Strucked with realization, Skylar grinned.
At this point, a thick mass of cloud travels across the colossal purple moon backdropping them as it illuminates the entire safe zone, making the glowing red flowers of the tree they sit under take over as their new primary source of illumination.
"Great elder, how strong is lord Skylar?"
Alexa voice inquired, while Skylar immesrse is focus on his player interface as he go through the file and document Yami last sent him. And at the same time, Lakshimi takes her time watching his visage adoringly like a puppy.
"He is a lot stronger than you can imagine."
"Are they stronger than 'Dada the notorious champion'?"
One of the three stunning beauties, brown skin, black braided hair, brown confident-looking eyes and big oily lips questioned.
"Sophia, is 'Dada the notorious champion' not the strongest champion of the West?"
"Of course he is. Julia."
Sophia answered julia who chimed in. And Julia continued as she fiddles with Skylar's shimmering silver hair.
"Then, what's Tomi talking about... Shouldn't it be the strongest we can imagine?"
"Great elder, are they stronger than Kai of the east."
Cutting in, Alexa questioned and looks expanctantly at Yami who has been smiling playfully at thier interaction.
"You will understand in time. But i guarantee you in the coming days, our faction progress will set records you can't imagine. Hihihi..."
Giggling after she answered, and as the beauties process her words thoughtfully, Yami looked at Skylar who is still immersed in his player interface.
"Sky, how about it?"
"Its not a bad idea, but..." Replying while he still go through the file and document. Skylar paused then continued. "You know. Leading a faction means i will have to do desk work. I don't like it, It's super annoying."
"You won't do much, Ila will do the majority of it. She is the best at it."
Yami in a somewhat persuading tone reassured. And Skylar with his face scrunched like someone who licked a sour lime glanced at her.
"I know. Its just that... Never mind. We shall see."
Skylar smiled and repositioned Lakshimi who is sitting on his lap with her shoulder on his chest, making her sit on his crotch with her back on his chest and her short legs on his as it almost reached the head of Alexa who is lying on a pillow placed on his calf.
Wait, her pants are wet... Skylar eyes widened in realization and shock.
Lakshimi guessing what Skylar might be thinking about her as he is silent, cover her lowered face with her palms, hiding her embarrassment.
And at the same time, the twins seizing the opportunity and the gap, move closer to Skylar with their big breast pressung tighter onto his shoulder. Then they giggled feeling pleased as they glanced at each other.
"Hihihi..." Yami, feeling amused by their actions and reactions also giggled. She looked at Tomi and her two friends who are chattering in hush voices as they also watch the twins drama.
"Yami, what's the deal with the night and day here."
"Every safe zone has four distinct time division we call hours. The Dawn hour, the first. The sunshine hour, the second. The twilight hour, the third. And the night hour or moon hour, the last..." Alexa who has been looking skyward, speaks like she is recounting from a text. "They each last six human hours, forming a daily cycle of twenty four human hours in the simulation, which is equivalent to six humans hours real world time in total..."
"Alexa wait." Skylar interrupts. "If i log off in the safe zone will my one day real time wait be equivalent to one day in the safe zone or four days?"
"Big Man, it will be four days." Julia answered before Alexa. "Even someone that has never been in the simulation knows."
"Yes, one day real world time is four days in the safe zone." Sophia corroborated.
"What about outside the safe zone?"
Skylar locked eyes with Alexa, expecting her to answer him.
"Hihihi..." Yami giggled drawing Skylar's attention and answered instead. "It will depend on the time dilation factor of the region... The average time dilation factor of BRAVE is 4, which happens to be exactly the same for all safe zones. Some regions outside the safe zone may have a little below 4, but most of the time its generally way above four..."
Alexa chime in:
"Yea, the gravity of the region determines the dilation factor. The greater the gravity, the bigger the time dilation factor, hence the longer the relative time. And vice versa."
"I know that one." Skylar fiddling with Lakshimi black hair smiled at Alexa. "I have been to a place that has gravity thirty times more than here."
"Big man, where is that?"
Julia pink eyes as she watches Skylar twinkled. And Skylar eyes after she heard her, stare blankly ahead for few seconds before he answered with a somewhat forced smile.
"A wolf lair..."
"Wolf lair?"
"What kind of wolf is living in such a place?"
Sophia and Julia blurted as they look inquiringly at Skylar who seems to wear a solemn and contemplative expression.
"Let's head inside." Yami said as if instructing, dispelling the weird atmosphere that crept in, courtesy of Skylar's current unusual mood. "Its about to rain."
Then she stands up, expecting the others to do the same. And they did, including Skylar whose mood is yet to recover.
