Chapter 20 - The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same.

Clay: HELL YES!!!

Rika: It seems it worked better than you said it would?

Clay: Yes. Yes it did. It made things SO much easier. Now I don't have to guess on a lot of stuff and have it all in one place, not everything but a lot of them.

With a nod from Rika I turn my focus back to my newest system add-on. I have Sage minimize most of the extra info so its easier to read at a glance. And it seems I've leveled up a bit I guess it makes sense with the setting a fire around the RV. I also see both my 'Mage', and 'Abnormal' went up a rank NICE.

I check and see its almost 7pm...Crap.. I need to hurry and get the other stuff before we have to go save Alice. I already talked with the girls about her. Well they knew about her from reading the Manga when I bought it to tell them about everything, but still I want to save her dad if we can.

I say IF cause the house they are supposed to go to had no lights on last night, and I don't know if anything else has changed. So we will have to see. But now isn't time for that I need to get stuff quick good thing I know what I'm getting.

[Females with whom truly love the Marked will receive a Half-Mark on their top left shoulder.

Those with a Half-Mark will change to a Full-Mark if Marked accepts a Half-Mark-ed as a Life Mate.

Those with a Full-Mark will have their Half-Mark removed and a new 'Full-Mark' will appear on the top of their Right shoulder.

Provides Complete Fertility control to Marked.]

~Warning Once on has become a Full-Mark they will be unable to mate with another for the rest of their life.~

{{{S/N: Provides no other benefit, but is required for }}}

(SP 1B)>

We talked about it and this will help to know is someone really wants to be with me/us and isn't just faking it. Well the 1st is REALLY basic but not having to worry about having children at least for now is a load off as well. I mean I want kids yeah, but not NOW I mean this is my first world and all. Ya know?

Enough of that back to about the mark the 1st one is meh for a billion SP, but looking 2-5 parts.... OH BOY 2 adds the ability to know the rough location of all Marked, both myself and other, and I have 'Complete' control of who can IE Half's or Full's.

Again not TOO much but the 3rd starts to get really good it gives "Lesser Thought Share" from what we could figure out it seems to be a basic telepathy, but only simple messages like old school texts with a few words max, and basic emotions, but hey its a start and again I get to control it he-he that's on all of them.

Then 4th is "Greater Thought Share" its a full share anything, and everything memories too. With the 5th being "Love Finds A Way" its SUPER cringe but it allows for TELEPORTATION!!! Its between Marked but still its there. Its the perfect way to keep my harem safe..... And if I want to I can just summon my girls to mop the floor with whoever I mean I'm going to have them be strong so why not?

No weak damsels here, I mean yeah I'll save a damsel but I'ma make her at least able to defend herself. Cause I'll protect them yes, BUT I'll try to make it so they doesn't NEED me to unless its REALLY bad.

I buy the Mark and instead of super pain its just like someone drew on my chest with really warm water like not HOT but not lukewarm. I open my gown as I am wearing a hospital gown I assume they changed me when I started bleeding everywhere.

Looking down I see what looks like a weird navy blue sun, but with silver ish colored flames. And in the center of it is a partly opened book. It looks SWEET its in the center of my chest like some kind of 'Superman' symbol. Its about the size of a head not counting the flames. As I'm checking it out I hear to the side.

Rika: Oh? that looks nice. So that your 'Mark' huh?

Clay: Seems so. I like it, I think it looks awesome.

Rika: It looks good on you it suits you weirdly. *Feels Something* Oh what's that?

She turns her head to her right and pulls her shirt over and we both look to see her mark coming into existence. It starts out as just a thin faded outline, then in less than 10 seconds its fully formed. Hers is about 3 inches across measuring just the sun's length without the flames.

Of course I have already accepted my wives... Also the "Accepting" is me proposing to them it seems. As I felt a multiple connections trying to go through just after my mark formed.

Clay: Alright as much as I love spending time with you. We need to get ready. If we are going to see about Alice. I really hope they will come by I'd feel like shit if I cause Alice to die. I mean she is just ADORABLE, and cute things should be protected.

Rika: *Laughs* Do we need to worry about you becoming a 'Strange Uncle'?*Focused Gaze*

Clay: *Shutters* What? Ewe no I like old...e.... (THING FAST DEATH IS NEAR!!!) I mean I like more mature women not little girls.

Rika: *nods* Good. *Grins* So you like "Mature" women more is it? That makes sense seeing how you have three already.*After a quick thought* Hum no now that I think about it we all are in a way. Saeko, Saya, and Rei are more mature then most there same age.... So what about if they are mentally "Mature" but aren't physically? *Piercing Stare*

Clay: Um. Still the same if her body looks like a kid I'm out I'm just not into that. But that does NOT mean I wouldn't be interested in someone short.... Well this is all for "Humans" anyway others I really don't know haven't met any so....

After that surprise interrogation I quickly get some real cloths on. And I look to see that, Yup 'Suiting Up' gives me 10 AC {2 for bracers, 2 for greaves, 5 for the B.P vest, and 1 for my clothes.}

It seems to be 5x when its in that area IE if its to a hit to the arm on the bracer its a +10 instead of +2{AC would be a 18 then but only for that hit, and yes to the chest would be a 30 then}. Well that's what Sage got from studying the add-on.

I will get some skills later to increase that from what I remember there are a TON of 'Defense Up' skills and spells hell my 'Shield' spell is one it adds +4 while its cast.

When I'm all done getting ready I exit the RV to go talk with the others. And they are SUPER excited to show me their marks ha-ha seems they like having proof a lot. Not going to lie I do too, and its super hot I mean think about they are marked BECAUSE of me, and at the same time FOR me that's hot.

Its fairly dark outside now Kouta seems to have finished with the guns I gave him as I can see the girls with theirs. Saya has a Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun. Rei has a Heckler & Koch MP5 sub-machine-gun. Saeko has a FN Five-seveN handgun. Shizuka even though she doesn't like to shoot has Glock 43 handgun. With Rika having a FN HERSTAL F-2000 assault rife with a M26-MASS attachment{Modular Accessory Shotgun System}

Not going to lie Rika's makes me want one too its a freaking machine-gun WITH a shotgun under the barrel like THAT'S a THING??? I knew about the grenade launcher cause movie/ games but a shotgun? Nope that's new to me. I got the normal movie gun M16 with a grenade launcher. Oh an all of them have flashlights. Like why wouldn't you want an extra one on your gun?

I also got a sweet M249 with a extra grip and big drum he-he. The only other one that wanted another gun was Rika so she also got a nice Barrett .50 Cal {Plus her whatever folding one she never told me the name of it} Kyoko surprised me the most she has a Desert Eagle.... Her plus that gun make a VERY scary combo....

I also snagged one for myself as its a DESERT EAGLE. The thing is BEAST..... No its not f-ugly gold its a nice NORMAL metallic.. Um silver?? {{{A/N: Steel Blue is the name}}}Whatever I have it, the LMG, and my AR in my watch only my 9mm Glock is "on" me cause why keep it all out. You know?

But I won't be using them unless I have to though... As it seems I get no"EXP" if I do use them unless the zombies are withing my arms reach.... Yeah I only get "EXP" for my B-Sword cause I'm holding it still, but guns don't kill, bullets do and I'm not "Holding" those so no go there. Unless I get a some type of "Mana Shot" skill I looked the cheapest one just coats my bullets with Mana which would work perfect.

But shit costs 3.27B. But if I get my blacksmith and mixing, both to Rank-G I can MAKE magic bullets... I'm starting to really wish I can get points to start traveling worlds..... I know what one I'll get for that. it will take me and any linked with me {Mark works there are SO many things that link} to the origin of something I use it on so I use it on SDB{Semi-Digitized-Body} boom we are there.

And it would be a great world LOTS of stuff and fights and different world all in one. Or is could use it on "Scribe Scroll" and go to real world DnD Neverwinter. Or some on something else I'm really leaning to SDB world but that's a while a way.

While I'm lost in thoughts of the future I hear a gun shot, then another, they keep firing. I rush to side and look up so see Rika on the balcony shooting.

Clay: Where?*Shot*

Rika: *Shot* Same*shot* street* Shot*

I jump over the gate and run. Rika seems to have changed with whoever it was before, as we always had one of us on look out for Alice and her father, "same street" means the street from OG. Where on the street doesn't matter I'll see the bodies to fine them. As I sprint I cast 'Mount' to summon a horse and hop on having it gallop while I swing my sword like I'm a guy from Dynasty Warriors.

I quickly pass the house they would have gone to, and see its still dark with no lights. After another 4 or 5 houses I see them against a wall with Alice behind her father with him holding a wrench swinging at 1 or 2 that Rika doesn't get.

I cast 'Jump' and leap from the horse to them, while mid air I cast 'Shield' and slam down on a zombie next to them. I then put my sword away in my watch, and grab them both and leap up over the side of the wall. I do take a smack to the head from Alice's Dad, but it doesn't stop me.

Alice & Alice's Dad:AAHHH!!

Clay: *lands* Sh! They hunt by sound. Also WTF? I get I surprised you, but did you have to hit me with the wrench? That shit hurt.

Alice's Dad: I'm,a, sorry. I thought you were attacking use or something I panicked. I apologize.*bows*

Clay: *sigh* Its,a, alright I get it. Apology accepted. Now follow me stay quiet as you can we will go to the other side of the area then we'll jump again. Also My name is Clayton Akana please call me Clay as that's what I'm used to now. What are your names?

Alice's Dad: It is nice to meet you Clay-San. My name is Maresato, Kato this is my daughter Alice. Thank you once again for saving us, and I apologize for hitting you.

Clay: Nice to me you Kato-San, and Alice-Chan. And its fine I already said i get it. When we get there I will summon a vehicle and we will take that so don't yell, or talk until we are inside it after we jump back over.

Alice: Onii-San are you a magician?

Clay: *Chuckle* Kind of. But I don't use slight of hand but real magic see watch.*Pulls out B-Sword*

Alice:*Claps* That's really cool Onii-San. What else can you do?

Clay: A lot of stuff but you will have to wait til later as it time to jump.

As we made our way over to the other side of the yard we landed in we talked a bit, and I tried to keep Alice distracted Kato seemed to understand what I was trying to do as he didn't interrupt us talking. She just lost her mother not long ago. and just survived a small horde of zombies its a miracle she didn't start to cry after we landed.

After I climb up to check and make sure the coast is clear I drop down to get them and cast another 'Jump' and hop over. I take out the SUV and we get in then I drive us back with the 2 silent in the backseat. After we arrive I look back to see Alice curled up and sleeping on Kato's lap. I whisper to him. *Whisper*

Clay: I'll get the door for you. Do you want to have her sleep in the RV? Or in the Hummer? You will be riding in the Hummer as the RV is already packed, but we can squeeze Alice in as she is really small, after we get across the river we can get you in another vehicle. The Hummer, and RV are the only ones with a snorkel.

Kato: We will take the Hummer. If that's alright.*Looks worried*

Clay: No problem I figured as much, but thought I'd offer. Give me a minute to tell the others, then I'll get the door.

=================================================

A/N: Yo head up I will be going down to 1/day minimum if I get another done I might post it, but as it is now I am writhing then posting after a quick once over so this will give me time to give them a better check and get some stocked for if stuff happens as have see that enough to know need to have some squirreled away.
