Believe it or not, but it's been a few months since my first expedition within the graveyard dungeon with Yuki, and sometimes I still wake up from sleep thinking I'm in the forest, finding it a little hard to come to terms with what's happened over the several months. Shortly after my first dungeon experience, I talked to Marlin, and although it was a little saddening, he removed me from the party, which meant all the experience I get for killing monsters would go solely to me, though now I was also no longer in a party; I had asked Yuki about creating one, but for some reason, she was against it, though I could tell it wasn't because of me, which was a little relieving.
Anyways, since Yuki refused and seemed to have a personal reason, I didn't try to pressure her, not to mention neither of us knows how to create a party; I'll probably need to call Marlin since he's definitely the most knowledgeable person I know, after Master of course.
'So, we do not exist, Master?' Remarked Trina with a frown as she folded her arms and looked at the sky while standing beside Zartha.
"My apologies, oh great spirit artifact." Replied Alexander respectfully in a sarcastic tone as he rolled his eyes, one that Trina didn't catch onto.
'Hmph, so long as you know, Master.' Said Trina with a proud expression as she nodded while Zartha just shook her head, ignoring her sister's antics.
As it's been a few months, my birthday happened to pass not too long ago; as a matter of fact, it occurred nine days ago; however, no one besides Talis and my two greatswords knew about it. I personally never cared whether my birthday was celebrated or not, but now, I'd probably like to forget it as it was the day when Master and I no longer had a simple master and disciple relationship, so it brought pleasant memories, which quickly turned into bitter ones with the passing of Master.
Moving away from the sad stuff, I've gotten decently stronger ever since our expeditions into the dungeon, which we do on average about four or five times a week, depending on how Yuki is feeling really, since, well, I heal from most wounds almost immediately. Speaking of the Dungeon, the two of us ended up defeating the second-floor guardian on the tenth floor, which turned out to be a licker, which just happened to be several times stronger than normal ones; it was substantially stronger than the first one, and while I wouldn't it was a life and death battle, it was challenging.
I still do think I could've beaten it on my own, considering when I fought alongside Yuki, I never bothered to use my strongest offensive skill, [Lightning Cloak], since I didn't think I needed to, but even if I fought the Licker, I have a feeling it would be a pretty close battle, and I wouldn't be surprised if I lost a limb or two during the battle, which would be fine as [Rebirth], was no longer on cooldown, so even if I ended up dying, I'd come back at peak condition.
'Haa, that's really a cheat skill, though I'm glad I have it.' Mused Alexander with a faint smile as he lay in bed, glancing at Talis sleeping in her hanging bird nest before quietly leaving.
I hadn't had a run-in with the Firemania, thankfully, and it seems no one even bothered to question the disappearance of their member, which led me to believe they didn't care since they most definitely knew he died. However, I have seen their party a few times, and every time, the leader always gave Yuki and I an angry glare; this entire time, I've really just been waiting for them to do so something as I knew they would; their intentions can't escape my eyes.
'I just hope it's nothing crazy, and it's at most a fight; with Rebirth off cooldown, I'm no longer scared to confront them in battle, but I'd still prefer not to.' Thought Alexander as he put on clothes from his wardrobe before silently leaving the room and quietly heading downstairs.
Oh, another good thing about exploring dungeons is the money we get from selling monster materials; it's quite a lot of money, and with Yuki and I, it's enough to buy food without worrying about going bankrupt, though, I still take the occasionally gathering quest, simply because I do enjoy the peace and tranquility it provides.
"Besides, I like to spend some quality time with Talis." Muttered Alexander with a small smile as he entered the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.
It was still relatively early in the morning, but it was Saturday, so everyone slept in a little bit more than usual, which meant I could take my time and not rush as I cooked nearly eight pounds of food. Once I finished cooking eggs, bacon, and waffles, I left the stove on to keep it warm as I left the house since, unfortunately, Michelle was still blackmailing me, and her Husband wasn't home today.
Regarding our relationship, I've been trying to improve it to the point where she'll stop blackmailing me into being her personal prostitute, but I don't know whether that's been working or not; though, I'd be lying to myself if I said I wasn't as against being sexually intimate with her compared to before. I've had the opportunity to meet her Husband once, and let's just say he wasn't the nicest man by a mile; he and Michelle also seem to argue a lot whenever they're home, usually about him going to brothels and whatnot, but it never did get physical between them, so that's good.
'Which is slightly confusing to me. I know Michelle isn't the most gorgeous-looking woman, but she's definitely beautiful, not to mention her plump and voluptuous body.' Thought Alexander as he walked toward Michelle's house, entering her front yard.
Michelle was an Elf, yet despite them usually having a rather lithe body, she was the complete opposite; her body was the definition of a genuine milf. She had large yet firm breasts despite them being so big and perky pink nipples, which I've gotten the pleasure to play with; her waist is slim yet is also slightly pudgy, something I find to be incredibly arousing since you can firmly grasp her waist. Her butt was also large, just like her breasts, and her thighs were unbelievably meaty, and if I'm being honest, probably the sexiest thing about her.
Add all that together and coupled with her bashful demeanor, she's one of the sexiest women I've laid eyes on, and as the days go by, it's getting harder and harder to keep my hands to myself, after every session with her, I go home to try and release all my pent up lust, but that never works; I simply can't cum if it's not from a woman.
"I think I lean more towards butts than breasts, but as a man, I love them both." Muttered Alexander with a nod while smiling as he knocked on the door, patiently waiting.
'We know, Master; we can see everything you see, including all the disturbing acts you've done with your Master.' Said Zartha coldly as she opened her eyes and looked towards the sky while Trina nodded in agreement.
'Hmph, I've got nothing to be ashamed about, Zartha; I did all those things with Master because I loved everything about her; besides, her whole body tasted good, so what would you expect.' Remarked Alexander with a huff as he crossed his arms, standing firmly on his decision while Zartha merely rolled her eyes in silence.
A few minutes later, Michelle opened the door, though I could tell with one look that she seemed quite exhausted, not physically, but mentally.
"Ah, Alexander, you're here; perfect timing; I could use something to relieve the tension." Said Michelle with a slightly forced smile as she grabbed Alexander's hand and pulled him inside, quickly taking him upstairs to her room.
"Yeah, I could imagine; I could hear you and your Husband arguing last night before he stormed out of the house. Did you catch him cheating again?" Replied Alexander with a wry smile as he closed and locked the door behind him.
"Chloe isn't here, so you don't need to lock the door, and yes, yesterday I caught him entering a brothel. Though it's happened so many times I hardly even care anymore, I was more angry at the fact that he spent the day at the brothel rather than with his own daughter, whom he hadn't seen in over a month!" Remarked Michelle, sitting on the bed with a defeated expression, which quickly turned into anger as she glanced at a picture of her and her Husband, only to scoff right after.
"I'm not a relationship expert, but have you tried speaking with him rather than arguing?" Asked Alexander in uncertainty as he sat beside Michelle and looked at her, his words prompting her to snort in anger.
"Yes, though it doesn't work since he'll just go ahead and do what he wants the next day. I've never even loved him from the beginning since our parents arranged our marriage, so I wouldn't mind if he were a terrible husband, but he should at least be a good father." Stated Michelle with a nod as she reached forward and grabbed a picture of her and her Husband on their wedding day before handing it to Alexander.
'Yeap, the two are definitely faking smiles.' Mused Alexander as he looked at the picture, in which the Husband looked much younger while Michelle looked precisely the same.
