Champion of the Goddess Pt. 04

He looked around, "We could leave today as all the ladies are pregnant. With my two non-party members who I knocked up in that state, that is 40 more children. I have added over 100 children since getting to this inn. Getting on the road should be a good idea."

Blossom nodded, "Myssara told me the same thing. They want you to complete this life sooner rather than later. I sent Lirana down to rouse the Dwarves into action. I am putting the 3 of them driving the larger wagon, Orchid, and Rose in the current wagon with Rhonda at the Smokers. That leaves five of us riding. Let us pick up our packages from the store and get moving."

They all nodded. Blossom looked over, "You look a little run down this morning."

He shook his head, "I have not had an actual night of sleep in days. I have been bouncing between this state and the dream state. You seem happier today."

She smiled, "Yes, Myssara showed me the testing you did for Ravanna and the discussion on jealousy. Mary and I talked things through and we are in a better understanding of things."

All of them left to let the 2 of them talk. He smiled, "Good, as I have been very worried about you."

She came over and hugged him tightly. She whispered, "Thank you for holding this slot for me."

He whispered back, "I wanted you in that slot last life but I had to wait to find you. Myssara knew I was looking for you. I have had a love at first sight reaction with 3 women. I had another who took me as I am, stood by me, learned, and had my back as I had her back.

We fought together through 15 levels and survived, loved, mourned the loss of the others, and she worked hard to mend my broken and mistrusting heart. I owed her that designation last life, yet it was my underlying fear of what happened to Kerria would repeat that kept me from using it.

She was the only one, in the party, with whom I truly considered that designation. She fought the hardest to win my heart through action, her reaction to me with the other ladies, as she never got jealous of the time I spent with others or who went first.

She loved having all of the extra female attention and a man who would fuck her and all of our playmates unconscious if that is what they all wanted. That is why she is my True love. She earned the spot. The 3 women I fell in love with on sight were Myssara, and trust me I fought that instinct right up front because of my first world and her being a Goddess.

Kerria was 'with' someone, another persona she was forced to be with. When she rushed into that tent and wanted me like that, she captured a piece of my heart and that bitch destroyed that precious woman. I guess I associated true love at that point to becoming a target for a goddess's jealousy.

I was in no hurry to put another woman in line to be a target. That bitch ripped a hole in my heart for what she did; I spent 20 years hardening it and it took time to unravel that damage. I was a lot more cautious about declaring a True love because of what happened to Kerria.

Once I realized my concern was unfounded here. I knew she was the one. She proved it further by setting Rhonda up to be my wife this life. They conspired. I felt it showed she was selfless. The first time I used those rings and it was not with a 'companion.'

With you, I found an exotic beauty, timid like Kerria, but you were much purer if you will. Untouched and I was the first male ever to lay hands on you like that."

She shook her head, "You have been the only male in my bed. I only wanted you and caring women. Lots of caring women it appears." He kissed her long and hard.

He chuckled and sighed, "I should never have let that second slot be limited but I understood the reasoning. You are killing it and next life 3 of us, 4 with Nina, will have to run with 4-5 new characters. Of which they only want one other out of the party to be a female in my bed traveling with us. We will see on that.

They do not want an all-female or mostly female traveling group like this again. Too many wanting 'another life' with me if you will. It is a free will issue though and Mother cannot dictate that."

She sighed, "I ruined it by getting jealous."

He shook his head, "No. You did not ruin it. You have to realize that in Kerria's case she knew the others were all personas. Nothing to even tempt her to get jealous over. Ersa, or Mary as you know her by, had been playing it fast and loose with the entire party through 84 failed attempts to get to level 5 and had 12 children during that time from other party members. Some who had moved into other parties. She grew up here, like you and Kerria.

I knew it hurt her as I knew it hurts you, to not be called my 'true love', but I explained that. It was the start of this life, her knowing what I had to do to help humanity on Earth and in this universe, and her getting to know a lot of those secrets last life.

The stuff I was forced to hold back from everyone. There are secrets you may never know that she does. She will never be able to tell anyone about them either. There will be secrets we share that others will not know if she moves on before you have to move on.

I will tell you one that the goddess may tell her about but she may hold it back. I told Myssara that in the future I would stop using True love in reference to either of my companions in-game. Using it on her instead. My 'continual lovers' would be used to describe both women in those slots to cut out any jealousy between them.

I also told her that if you took over for Mary in the future you would be my last companion True Love before making that change. I know Mary loves being a halfling and has a fetish for them. That personal desire along with her ever-growing skillset will have her moving on at some point. I want to get you to level 20.

Not to rush our time together but to ensure you have that toy in your life going forward. When you decide it is time to move on you will; probably for some time, be looking for my cock and I want you to be able to have that with you to continue having children, even if your true underlying lesbian heart wants no other man in your bed."

She laughed at that comment and nodded, "I would like that when and if the time comes. We should get going before I strip you down and make love to you all day long. We had a lovely talk about what you did at the level 15 inn last life."

She teased him with a smile as she left the room. He sighed inside, "Did I help her more or hurt her more by being completely honest with her?"

Myssara responded, "You helped her more."

He thought back to her, "You won't confirm it but those two have already made the decision on what will happen when she starts her 6th life. Mary will move on to be the leader I have trained and Blossom will continue on with me in a similar fashion until her desire to spread her wings takes hold.

Then she will have me, a piece of me with her for as long as she is in this world. In the device, we created for the women. She might even have a complete set of three by then. One for each of the three races I am allowed to play so the size and shape are different."

He heard her laugh but she did not respond to his unstated question. He knew she would not respond to it as he could read her like no other. She had her own secrets to keep.

Epilogue

They set out from the third inn; used the woods, secure shelters, and the stable to safeguard the animals from the griffons for the first 2 days and collected 30 griffon head trophies in the process. They lost one of the male dwarves in that attack when he tried to charge one. He got hit from behind and dropped from 20,000 feet in the air into the side of a mountain. He managed to cut off the griffon's foot that held him in true Barabian fashion.

The ogres, orcs, orogs, and giant attacks came and went by the time they finished delivering the supplies they hit level 15. He had a solid enough group of 9 to make a run on 20 without having to add others.

They went for the brass ring and frost giant mages who worked for an ancient white dragon being the final battle. He lost Nina, Rose, Orchid, and Blossom along with the other two dwarves in that final battle.

The only 3 survivors from that quest line being Raven, Lirana, and Mary. He gave Lirana a parting fuck of a lifetime on the back of a dragon corpse. Sending her off in true barbarian fashion and knowing she would have more children to watch over as a Guardian.

He passed the word back to those who had fallen to wait at level 15.

Sarrion, after getting modified to be a gestalt, made a return with Ersa and for once he led the group of 8 he put together including the 6 from the previous part and added a pair of gay male halflings to the group. Lirana went back to being a mother having gotten that character to level 20 finally.

They went after the, as yet unbeaten, undead quest she had set up with a powerful lich. He got everyone through that quest this time but shocked both goddesses when he unloaded in the boss fight to keep all of the aggro and attacks centered on his character.

He showed Myssara the flaws in her approach and lengths he would go to get past what he called the 'The Raven Bias.' He now had 2 level-20 characters, as did Ersa. He had a party of 8 characters who could see just how much Raven tempered his abilities when he did unleash on the undead horde that remained.

He had tricked Myssara when he bought a luck blade, a sword that could grant a wish. Before they went into the final battle area, he wished for the lich's phylactery to be placed upon an unguarded and unwarded piece of stone outside his throne room. Where the party stood, destroyed the wards on it, and then destroyed the phylactery of the lich that held his dark soul within. Thus killing it. They went in and cleaned up the remaining trash in the throne room.

Myssara was not happy with his approach and then he literally, not physically, punched her in the stomach with his comments. "You played the last 2 level-20 quests, the final battles, as a 'me against the goddess situations.' Your reaction to my approaches is bearing that out.

Nobody beat that quest because you designed it for a Gaming Grand Master and not as a tool to teach new leaders. I gave you a champion's response to that kind of challenge. To beat the lopsided quest and get it out of your gaming world.

You have to remember, we are training future leaders and if you want them doing the work then the quest has to be geared to where a majority of the party, not a minority of the party, has a chance at survival. Else if I am within the party, I will correct it the champion way."

Mother was shocked by his statement and the 2 of them talked for hours or days in that silent communication. Finally, Mother looked at him, "I had her rerun the quest in question using simulations of every other top-notch player in her world. Then I did it with every Gaming Grand Master, simulated of course. None of them came up with your solution. Only 4 of the groups I tried managed to beat that quest and they lost over half the party. Two of those it was only 1 survivor."

Raven nodded, "Because while she removed 'raids' from her group her final battles are still raid level quests and they are undermanned. Run that simulation with a raid of 3 parties and you will find that with a group from this world you have better than a 50% chance of completing it with over 50% of the party being killed.

BUT that also means you killed 7-14 players to get the others through the quest chain. The only way to truly succeed was for a champion to unload. I did not do that the first time when it was frost giant mages and an ancient white dragon. Trust me, I wanted too. I did it against the lich to prove a point.

To also show you that I do not need to know the quest, or what you have planned. I can show you how to improve the quests and make them a challenge while having a higher degree of success for the players WE are TRAINING. The need to curtail your over the top magical ways at the same time.

Like being able to buy a luck blade from the store because you gave us way too much money in assets. That enabled us to be able to afford that approach. You tied our hands with being able to make those items we wished to craft. Forced the timeline on the quests instead.

We could have done the same with a wish spell on a scroll as well or casting it. It would have been cheaper, easier to get, but harder to use in combat. Not that we had to do it in combat.

I have asked about tempering coin, keeping magic items to a more realistic level, available, findable, but not totally open. That includes the store. A means to burn off coins if we really want it. Now I have two items in my champion chest.

Neither is over the top and nothing I could pull out at level one. I took you to school Myssara because it is part of my job. I went against you because you made it about being against me on those challenges.

I got one first lifer, Ersa/Mary through 2 lives without dying. 'The worst player' out of that first group and she has never died at my side. I got 6 other first lifers through who only died once. I cannot speak about our male-halflings experiences.

One seemed to have a few lives under him while the other could have been on his first or second life. Did I cheat? No, I used the resources you made available to me and to the others in the party. Just like the mine quest.

I showed them if they had the proper tools and ran with the champion who unloaded on the final boss, I could get them all through alive if I was forced to do it that way. I played it your way for the first quest.

3 out of 10 was not a success in my books. Yes, I counted the barbarian bomb in that number. 7 out of 10 would have been a success in my books. Nobody played stupid except for the one dwarven barbarian bomb.

But you have to give him credit for style as he kept swinging away at the Griffon that held him and killing it while he crashed into the side of a mountain. 70% was what we called in school a passing grade. 9 out of 9 players is called acing the course.

I did that with those we lost the first time. I did my job. You did your job. Together, my love, we will fix these issues, not overnight, but over time. I mentioned to Mother for 'new goddesses' that Gaming Grand Masters would have to carry more weight than the new goddess in these discussions.

You are learning from me just as the players are learning from me. I am certain you had several top-line goddesses review the 2 quests during my long rant. I am willing to bet over half of them agreed with me or felt that if they had run the quest, they could have thwarted me.

Again, goddess vs her champion. Those who look at us as a team, there should be a few with the new champions, would see I used both quests as learning tools for the players and the goddesses. Not just Myssara but every goddess you showed these runs too. Now some of them are probably upset at my 'arrogance' in this situation but I am doing the job I was asked to do."

Mysarra sighed and Mother chuckled, "I had several attempting to back peddle their own comments, then referred to you as being arrogant and you addressed it and shut them down again. A few agreed you would have made a damned fine goddess.

I reminded them you were a Gaming Grand Master and you just took a lot of them to school to see what you were saying. You proved your point to several of them in different ways, both in-game and out of the game. You continue to impress."

Myssara came up and hugged him, "Alright, you beat me."

His cock went hard and he took her to the ground and fucked the shit out of her for an hour while kissing her the entire time. Before unloading into her cunt. He finally rolled over and looked at her, "Did I just beat you then or did 'we' have a good time?"

She got in the water and delivered 4 more boys. The numbers had dropped back down. He did not go into the pool unless the pool was going low and he was running high. Then it was to bleed off energy. Myssara looked over. She sighed, "Alright, you did not beat me but you taught me a few new things."

Mother straddled him and rode him slowly and he made love to the woman for an hour before he launched another volley into her. She went and delivered 3 more boys. She looked over, "You have been producing more males than females lately."

He nodded, "I noticed. You can control things on children, remove birth defects, and such while a mother is carrying a child. I wondered if I could control the sex of those being born. I can outside the pool as you can."

Mother looked at Myssara and shook her head. She looked back over, "I will ask that you try and keep them balanced."

He smiled, "Like your 3 females to every male you said you have in the worlds?"

She sighed, "Alright, with the new additions your children now number over 800. Overall you are still ahead on the number of females but only by a few and only because of me having more females on average than males. Not by design or desire. Males determine sex."

He smiled, "It is still your universe, Mother. If anyone can 'inadvertently' break or bend a rule in this matter it would be you. Just like the elven genetics. You wanted me to mate with my daughters and if you had not been able to modify them instead of the males that argument would have died before it went over the top.

It would have never happened. You determined which of the sexes would get modified, ensured it was only 1 child. Not consciously but subconsciously. You don't believe me; you know who you could ask."

She rolled her eyes and sighed, "HE heard the discussion and laughed his ass off. He said that is exactly what I did and I could do it to any goddess or female in-game even at a subconscious level. He said I am the only one who can do it within the pools in my universe. I will strive to do better."

He nodded, "I am glad Violet continued on for another life. I heard she is running with the new Champion of my daughter now and is enjoying sharing him with her sister even on a couple of occasions."

Mother laughed and pointed at the two of them, "Your lustful ways caused that shift in her."

Raven smiled, "When you point like that you have one finger and thumb pointed at us and 3 fingers pointed at yourself. In that regard, we agree."

Myssara laughed as Mother stared at her hand and turned red. He picked Mother up and from behind and aimed his cock at her ass. She wiggled her way onto it and he sat on the edge of the altar and spread her legs wide while thrusting from underneath. Myssara went in for the kill on the unattended cunt and for a few minutes before putting her strap-on in place.

She slid up and they double penetrated mother for a good half hour before they both unloaded into her. He laid Mother back on the altar and started working his fingers into both holes. She grabbed the handles as she knew what was coming. He slid them both into her and fucked both holes with his fists while attacking her clit.

She wailed out and spasmed hard enough to break both of his wrists from the thrashing. Myssara fixed them both just as quickly. Mother looked over at him, "Serves you right."

He smiled, "Blossom I did earlier, right in the middle of the battlefield while Ersa sat on her face in the mansion. I did Ersa in the day prior to her giving birth at level 15 when I stopped on Sarrion. It was just the 2 of us. We more or less fucking for 2 days straight while Marshal and Lirana did the same next door. I could not fuck Blossom without getting her pregnant again and she wanted a halfling life this life coming up.

Now Ersa, on the other hand, wanted to be a virgin again this life and I stayed out of her cunt but not her ass; at least with my cock. That meant the two of you got extra attention for this interrogation. As the only long-time lover I had not given both hands too like that, meant you were long overdue."
