Chapter 240 240 - Gaming [R18]
Eris's mansion was much bigger than Ryan could have imagined, the kitchen where he was having a quick post-sex snack was already something of a surprise. Even Lyza's apartment wasn't as big as this place, which just showed how quickly the girl had made her money.
The kitchen had two parts, an island surrounded by several counters that led to a small bar that still had no more than three bottles of wine. In addition, the kitchen was missing cutlery and plates. The girl only had a spoon, a fork, a knife and a set of plates and glasses.
"This really is the home of a lonely, single girl"
<Well, at least she's not single anymore>
"Yeah... I'm going to have that harem talk again"
<They always do, don't worry. It's your plot armor>
"You need to stop reading fanfics," Ryan replied mentally, as he walked to the sink to wash what he had used.
The kitchen led to a corridor that led straight to Eris's room, which made Ryan imagine that the girl should just follow between the three closest rooms. However, that couldn't have been further from the truth, as he walked through the house and realized that there were a few places that she was really enjoying.
There was a reason why Eris was Ryan's best friend during their high school years. The reason was simple: the two had many interests in common. Opening the door to the corridor that led through the kitchen, Ryan found a games room.
"Woah... That's a MagiStationTwo! I haven't seen one of those for years," he said in surprise.
Ryan was feeling like a kid again, when he'd moved house, all his slightly geekier stuff had been stored in boxes and left safely in his office.
The room he was in was full of posters of games and cartoons, there was a small collection of old consoles and CDs of soap operas that Eris always forced him to watch. There were also some board game replicas, an interest they both had in common but which he had long since stopped exploring.
Behind Ryan, the door opened. Turning his face slowly, he found a girl embarrassed by what was happening "So you've found my corner" she said.
Her reddened cheeks hid the happiness she felt at seeing her best friend close to what united them. Sitting down on the sofa in front of the television, the two of them started playing games.
First they went for a classic, Portal Breaker, probably the game that motivated them both to become travelers. It was a Rogue Like game in which you had to evolve as quickly as possible while dealing with scarce mana and challenges that arose every second.
"This game was so good when we were little," said Eris, who was holding the controller.
Ryan nodded enthusiastically, "Yes! But being a traveler is far from being so much fun..." he said as if he were letting off steam.
This took the girl by surprise, and she looked at him confused, "Really? I love closing portals.
That really revealed the girl's personality. While Ryan was still worried about how to deal with challenges and the chances of human loss, Eris dealt with life as a traveler as if it were a simple game. For her, closing several portals wasn't much different from beating a new game; it was fun, albeit tiring. After hearing her explain how she felt, Ryan could only think about how he should deal with the challenges with less stress, although it was a little too late now.
"I see, honestly, I wanted to close some portals with you before the impact came... But I think that's going to be a bit tricky," he said, Ryan's mind only able to imagine the various tasks he needed to complete before the challenge took place.
To start listing, he should warn the Silvermoon family and start a stockpiling process. In addition, he would need to fuck as many handmaidens as possible to further increase his own combat level. He would need to mine some concentrated mana crystals for collateral and ask Arthemis to overhaul his weapons.
To make matters worse, he would still need to review his Raid equipment and check on a way to replenish supplies in case the battle lasted longer than he thought. There were several factors that were making his mind very pensive, but Eris didn't seem to be too bad about it.
Placing her hand on Ryan's, she said, "You know... I've been fighting in a portal of record magnitude for the last few days... Feeling your body being cut or bruised is a bit scary, but when I'm in a portal I just try to worry about what's happening at that moment. Maybe you're just scared of seeing other people get hurt, so why don't you and I close some green and blue portals before the Raid?"
That suggestion made sense and honestly, it would be a bit relaxing to be able to fight some simpler creatures before the real battle took place. With that, they had decided that in three days they would close as many green portals as they could.
While Eris was playing, Ryan sent a message in the wives' group. He had called a meeting to deal with outstanding issues, including the impact portal that would appear in four days' time. Aligning the new orders, he began passing on tasks to each of the girls.
Luna, Alice and Sara were to buy supplies for the battle. The main ones being Scrolls, Talismans and some Rank SSS+ skills with the money from the Silvermoons. As soon as the portal was announced, sales of pure magical iron would be boosted by necessity, which would preserve the family's funds.
Ryan asked Syl to develop some magic circles with simple portals, just for emergencies. In addition, Arthemis was already assigned to take care of Ryan's weapons. He had also asked Lyza to prepare some battle food, and the red-haired milf was also going to look after the maintenance of the magic rifle.
Olivia had been checking the demonic texts in the library for a few months. If the theory the two had developed was right, there was a manual with demonic spells that would be extremely useful during the portal confrontation.
Ellen was going to sort out some seeds that Ryan could use in the confrontation, while Rose Siora was going to stock up on healing scrolls for the battle. Laila didn't have a task lined up, but surely the gift she had given Ryan would be important now.
Rin was instructed to begin orientation in the second world, while Kyouko and Ayumi were to organize the moon palace together with Yuki. In the days before the confrontation, the moon palace would become a place focused exclusively on training Ryan Whitemane.
The village of Sunset, meanwhile, would be completely dedicated to working for the battle, with both the maids and the girls from the village helping out by making various instant explosion talismans.
So Ryan began his preparations for war with just his cell phone. Looking over, he was surprised by the smile on Eris' face; she seemed to be extremely involved in her battle in Portal Breaker.
"This game is a lot more fun when I'm on your side, it's like old times," she said, as she continued to dodge a boss that looked like a spider.
"Look out! Now Litch will appear" Ryan said, while pointing at the television.
"AAAAHHH! I forgot about that part! I need to dodge the spider and make it throw webs at the minions"
"Yes! Then you just have to parry the bites and throw the spider at Litch"
The two of them started laughing as she fought the Boss of the stage. In a way, this calm before the storm was something Ryan needed. His heart was very troubled, and this was undoubtedly one of the factors that differentiated the one who was at the pinnacle of power from a warrior who was approaching the top.
After the game, Ryan and Eris went for another round on the sofa. The girl was a complete masochist, even if it wasn't at all apparent from her beautiful, elegant face. Anyone looking from afar would never have guessed that she was a complete slapper, and it was hard for Ryan to believe that she was a virgin.
"You're on your second fuck and you're already asking for more slaps," he said in surprise.
Eris was on her knees, sucking his cock. Withdrawing her mouth, she began to move her own hand while breathing a little, there was a thread of saliva connecting the two of them "It's not my fault, I've been dreaming of fucking for years. I've been waiting for you..."
That line was like an arrow through his chest, and at the same moment, Ryan stood up and began to fuck the girl's throat. The feeling he was getting was indescribable, fucking someone he had spent so much time with in the past was much better than he could have imagined.
Changing position, Ryan laid her down on the sofa and continued fucking her while the game over music played on the MagiStationTwo.
