I slept for maybe nine hours. After waking up, the first thing I did was relieve the arousal that builds even during sleep, using the usual method of masturbation. After all, I was around people now and needed to keep myself in check. Then I started my physical exercises. I hadn't even finished my push-ups when there was a knock on the door. Miya came to invite me to the guild master. I quickly threw on the blue tunic Miya had shared with me yesterday and followed her. Though the tunic was semi-transparent and barely covered my ass, it was still more comfortable than walking around naked, no matter how many times I was told it was normal here.
The Bull was clearly in a shitty mood.
"Well, hello there, compatriot. Sleep well?"
"Hey, Bull. As I understand it, you're about to tell me something way too 'good' that I'll be very 'happy' about."
"Yeah, you're right. Turiy apparently used a teleportation scroll and conveniently buggered off to his ancestral estate. The slavery charges will most likely be dropped."
"Let me guess – he's got either very rich or very influential relatives you didn't think about yesterday. And I'm some unknown fool who slandered their precious boy. At least tell me – am I now an outlaw in this country?"
"Well, you're exaggerating, of course. No charges against you. You just happened to see a man with the same name and same face. But there will definitely be a shadow hunt for your head. You understand – you seriously tarnished the reputation of the Ducal House of Osm, whose descendant that disrespectful magister happens to be. So you'll have to live looking over your shoulder constantly. At least until you're strong enough for them to back off."
"Speaking of strength – I've got questions. Listen, if doing push-ups gives you experience and stats, and just fucking gives you two to three times as much, does that mean I just need to fuck more often and everything's fine?"
"Interesting question. Actually, most isekai folks do exactly that – I myself, I admit, had the same mindset in my youth. But there are nuances. You've reached certain numbers where the system gives you perks, right?" – after I nodded affirmatively, he continued – "Well, those perks are given either as a single option or a choice from several, but the options are generated based on how you leveled that stat. If you raised Agility to 25 solely through fucking, the system will give you a perk that helps with sex, not combat. You get what I'm saying?"
"Yeah, I get it. So to avoid ruining my skills, at least early on, I need to abstain?"
"Weeell, not that radical. In my experience, if you've raised your stats even a little through training or combat, the system will offer a combat perk as a choice. You just need to do some push-ups and running sometimes. Other than that, fuck as much as you want – the system only encourages it."
"Got it. Any other advice for a newbie system-user?"
"Definitely develop hand-to-hand combat and cold weapon skills – they significantly increase your damage output. Do you have a mana stat?"
"Yeah. Wait, is that not always the case?"
"Usually not. A scout class typically has no magical potential, but with isekai folks there are exceptions. So when you have money, immediately buy a couple of spells. Most importantly, get a heal – it'll greatly boost your survivability."
"Now, let's move on to your future plans. First, take this token and drop some blood on it." – he handed me a small bronze token with a mirror-like surface. – "This is an adventurer's badge. Initially you'll be bronze, third or second class. Later, through small quests, you'll rise to silver. Don't think about leaving the village for safety reasons – the Osms will find you anywhere in the empire, and outside the empire, believe me, you won't want to be a girl of such a low level."
I dropped blood on the token, and the symbol "1" appeared on it.
"Did you manage to kill something big on your way here?"
"No, mostly hunted small game. The biggest was a lustful deer."
"Well, that explains it. Get settled in for now. Miya will bring us breakfast. After that, either find work in town or take guild quests. Staying at the guild inn costs one silver a day. In the tavern, four silvers, just so you get the prices. A good meal is twenty coppers. You can find guild quests on the first floor – to the left in the hall is a board. To accept a quest, hold your token to it and accept the system quest."
"I wasn't planning on living off you anyway, don't worry."
After breakfast with the Bull, I went down to the quest board. For bronze rank, there were tasks like gathering rare herbs or delivering letters. I decided not to take those standard jobs and accepted two gathering quests by the river.
Quest: Gather 20 pink Mertensia by the river and deliver to Alchemist Dex.
Time limit: 3 days.
Reward: 20 silver coins, 200 EXP.
Failure penalty: none.
Accept? Yes/No
Quest: Gather 50 blue Dragon's Seaweed from the river and deliver to Alchemist Dex.
Time limit: 7 days.
Reward: 1 gold coin, 1500 EXP.
Failure penalty: none.
Accept? Yes/No
I accepted both tasks, grabbed my bag and the dagger stolen from the hunting lodge, and left the guild building. At the village exit stood some fat guy who undressed and raped me with his eyes. I quickly made it to the river and got to work. The Mertensia flowers weren't difficult, but the Dragon's Seaweed required diving. I decided to move a few kilometers from the village – logically, the nearest areas would be picked clean.
In two hours of steady jogging, I raised Agility, Perception, and Endurance by one point each, and collected three flowers along the way. I was especially happy about Perception – as I understood it, it's not easy to level.
The farther I got from the village, the more luck smiled on me, but there were still incidents. A few meters from the river, the forest began, and at one point a rat jumped out in front of me.
Lustful Rat Level 3
The rat was the size of a bulldog and stared at me without blinking. Like all lustful animals, it had a huge cock standing at attention. A spear would definitely have been more appropriate here, but I figured I could handle it with a dagger. The rat lunged at me and leaped – I think to knock the female down; killing me wasn't its primary goal. I dodged off its trajectory while extending my arm so it would impale itself on the dagger. My arm nearly got ripped out – the rat had plenty of strength. The hit wasn't critical, so the rat didn't die, though blood dripped from the wound on its forehead. Not letting the rat recover, I quickly lunged and managed to land three strikes to its flank, which proved fatal.
You killed a Lustful Rat Level 3
Received 300 EXP
Do you wish to harvest the loot?
Yes/No
This was new – I hadn't gotten such notifications after killing animals before, so with interest I mentally hit yes. Where the rat had been, there remained a piece of fur, two front incisors, and a silver coin with the number ten stamped on it, along with the face of what looked like the local ruler.
"Well, here's my first money in this new life. And where there's money, there's always need for your killer class, so congratulations, Nika."
As I'd said before, earning a living through wet work didn't bother me at all. I wasn't a saint in my past life either – or rather, I hadn't been a saint. No matter how young and pretty I was now, inside I was an old, heartless cynic who'd long since lost faith in people. I hadn't yet figured out how my life would unfold, but I had a current goal: get stronger and kill that bastard Turiy. I take my freedom very seriously – not seriously, but paranoidly seriously. You could call it a phobia. So someone was going to seriously regret trying to make me a slave. That I couldn't and wouldn't ever forgive anyone.
Over the next 2-3 hours, I found all the flowers – they weren't that rare. By then, I was starving, so I stopped at the first bush with my favorite fruit to satisfy my hunger. Next, I had to get into the water for the seaweed. This was brutal – the water was ice cold. I left my bag with clothes and flowers behind a rock in an inconspicuous spot and entered the water naked with my dagger in hand. The water was, as expected, freezing. But I held on, trying not to stand still, constantly combing the bottom.
After four hours of searching, I'd found only three of the required specimens and decided to call it a day. I jogged back in two hours, raising Agility by 2 and Endurance by 1 from the fast run. The same fat guy was still at the gate, once again staring at me with lust but saying nothing. After asking passersby where the alchemist's house was, I headed there.
The alchemist's house was two stories, with a shop on the ground floor. When I entered, a bell tied to the door jingled. The alchemist emerged from the basement after two minutes – from the shop, you could see the stairs leading down. I didn't see a display counter as such; apparently he kept his goods in a secured area, and all customers already knew what they needed without demonstration.
"Greetings, young lady. How can I help such a lovely creature?" – the alchemist was a man about fifty, with gray hair but a young, wrinkle-free face. A little taller than me, with a good build and no excess fat. He wore a gray shirt and matching pants. Brown eyes, a friendly smile. Overall, an attractive person. I'd learned to trust my intuition.
"Hello. I'm here about a guild quest – gathering flowers and seaweed. I've brought the pink Mertensia." – I laid them on the counter from my bag.
"Excellent. Simply excellent. You've completed the task even earlier than I expected. As a token of gratitude, take this." – he placed ten extra silver coins on the table. – "And allow me to invite you to dinner. I happen to have roasted Astarian goose – I bet you've never had anything like it."
Simultaneously, the system accepted the quest and awarded experience.
"Only if you share with an inexperienced adventurer the secret of how to collect the blue Dragon's Seaweed."
"No problem. Honestly, it's in my interest too for you to bring them as quickly as possible. I have an order from the garrison for a potion, and the component is missing. Please, follow me."
We went up to the second floor. Of course, I understood that inviting a lady to dinner usually meant something. But given the realities of this world, where you could just walk up to a stranger and offer sex, I saw nothing wrong with his actions. Besides, this man specifically aroused me – my fucking body wanted him, and I needed to level up too. According to the Bull, the nearest city, Djer, was fifteen days away on horseback – about the time I should expect assassins after my head.
"I suggest we work up an appetite before dinner," I said to Dex, who was inviting me to the table, and beckoned him with my finger.
He approached, wrapped his arm around my waist, and with the other hand caressed my breast. I kissed his lips, sliding my hand into his pants. He grabbed my ass, lifted me, and sat me on the table, pulled up the hem of my already hiked-up tunic, and began stroking my wet pussy. Breaking the kiss, he bent down and started kissing the inside of my thighs. A shiver ran through my body, and a moan escaped my lips. When his mouth pressed against my pussy, his tongue teasing my labia, my eyes rolled back in pleasure. His tongue began to enter me, licking the walls of my vagina. And when he caught my clit with his lips and started sucking it, I squirted right onto his face.
I came violently, and judging by his wet face, it was messy. After coming back to myself a little, I slid off the table and knelt, pulling down his pants. An erect cock met my face – average size for this world, about 18-19 centimeters. I wrapped my lips around it and started sucking. Though I had no experience, I'd often been on the other side of the barricades, so I had a rough idea of how to please a partner. But the strangest thing was that I was enjoying it myself – there was a flood under me, and I was ready to come. After 2-3 minutes of active work, my partner let out a half-moan, half-growl and came into my mouth. As the hot, thick liquid hit my throat, I came too.
After that, I stood up and led him to the armchair by the unlit fireplace. Sat him down, removed his shirt, and pulled off my own tunic. I climbed onto the chair on my knees and lowered myself onto his cock. For the next twenty minutes, I worked my thigh muscles, bouncing on his cock, bracing my hands on his chest. I loved the feeling of being filled inside, and the control – when I guided him in and out myself. When he came inside me, I came with him, a third time during my ride. Without pulling him out, I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. We sat like that for several minutes, catching our breath.
"Well, you're certainly fierce. I think you fucked me, not the other way around."
"And I think you liked it. Going to deny it?"
"No, I know myself. Just that you rarely meet even among adventurers a dominant woman without extreme perversions."
"I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. I just need to wash up first, if you don't mind."
"Bathroom at the end of the hall, to the right."
I gave him a short kiss on the lips, climbed off him, and headed to the bathroom – droplets of cum trickling down my thighs from my pussy, but it didn't bother me. Fucking body. He had a fairly large bathtub, and also a shower with cold water, which I didn't mind – I stepped under the cold streams, washing up and checking my logs. I still had an unaccepted oral quest from Turiy's time.
You have unlocked the quest chain "Greedy Mouth" – Perform oral sex 10 times with at least 4 different partners.
Reward: 1000 EXP, variable.
Failure penalty: none.

I accepted, and the counter immediately read 2/10.

Intelligence +1
Arousability +3
Fertility +10
Attractiveness +5
Dominance +2

Honestly, the Fertility stat bothered me – as far as I understood, it affected the chance of getting pregnant. That was the last thing I needed for full happiness. I decided to ask my new friend when I came out of the bathroom.
"Hey Dex, do you know how to make contraceptives?"
"Why would I? No one would buy that. What a strange question."
"Well, suppose I'm on a long-term quest and absolutely can't get pregnant – what should I do?"
"That's simple – buy a spell at any shop. If you don't have mana, you ask a mage in your party if you have one. Though I can't imagine anyone taking such a stupid step – system-users rarely get pregnant anyway, even though they fuck 24/7. No one would willingly give that up."
"Thanks for the answer, Dex. I agree with you. So how's that goose – didn't run away yet?" I changed the subject, but inside I was thinking. Actually, I also felt a certainty that nothing was better than getting pregnant and having a child – though I'd never planned for that. I think if it weren't for my mental defense from Willpower, I wouldn't even realize it was being imposed on me. Apparently, it's the world itself doing the suggestion. Even now, I doubted whether it was really my own desire.
The goose was indeed magnificent. Dex, as promised, explained over dinner that you needed to pour a couple drops of lustful animal blood into the river – the Dragon's Seaweed would stretch toward it, revealing itself.
I left the alchemist's house lost in thought, and the whole way back to the guild I was thinking that I really needed to raise my Willpower – I'd gotten too relaxed, and I was still easily influenced. And as you recall, I've got a phobia about that. So I'd resume my willpower training. And tomorrow I absolutely needed to find a magic spell shop.
