Thirty-Nine Hours

"Ahh..."

I sank my fingers into a pair of breasts so full they spilled past the edges of even a whole hand, kneading them without a shred of mercy. Her pink nipples — the kind that looked ready to leak strawberry milk — stiffened against my palm.

"Master... I am here as well..."

"Heh heh heh. Come here."

Aquaril pressed herself against my back, demanding her share of attention. Smooth skin and the heavy give of her own ample chest melted against me. We had only just finished having sex, and she still wasn't satisfied. Then again, neither was I.

Kanisia in front. Aquaril behind. If this wasn't heaven, then heaven could go to hell.

"Mmh..."

I turned my head and kissed Aquaril, and even as our mouths moved I kept working Kanisia's breasts and grinding my cock against the taut curve of her ass. I led them both deeper into the spring, sat down, and spread my legs wide. Kanisia sank to her knees between ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠them.

"Suck it, Kanisia."

"Haa... this cute little thing. You have no idea how much I missed you."

I nudged the head against her pink lips, and she let out a breath of heat. A moment later she wrapped her hand around my shaft, stroking as she pressed a kiss to the tip.

"Haa... Master..."

"Stick out your tongue."

"Yes, Master... aahn..."

I pulled Aquaril down beside me and kissed her again. I could no longer tell whose saliva was whose. While we kissed I went back to the breasts I had been sucking and fondling only minutes before, working them in my hands all over again. Soft. Heavy. Inexhaustible. Aquaril's chest was a pair of bewitching things a man could spend a lifetime touching and never grow tired of.

If I paid them too much attention, though, Kanisia might start feeling left out — so my right hand found her breast as well and gave it the same treatment.

"Nngh..."

I pinched her nipple, and Kanisia moaned around the cock in her mouth. I felt every puff of her breath break against the head.

"Kh—!"

A shiver ran straight up my spine. A sound tore out of me before I could stop it. Beautiful women touching me, serving me, working my body like it belonged to them. Wasn't this exactly the harem life every man dreamed about?

"Pfft. That good, huh?"

"Yeah. This is the best."

Kanisia laughed at the noise I'd made. Then, wearing a wicked little smile, she sandwiched my cock between her breasts. She pressed them together from the sides, and I vanished into the soft heat of her cleavage.

"How about this?"

"Ah... this is amazing too."

"Heh."

My reaction clearly pleased her. She started bouncing her chest up and down, and at the top of every stroke she took the head into her mouth and sucked.

For a while I simply took it — Kanisia's paizuri and blowjob working in tandem, Aquaril's hands and mouth roaming wherever they pleased. The one mercy, if you could call it that, was that I had already come three times with Aquaril. Without that, Kanisia's mouth alone would have finished me like some two-pump amateur the second she started.

"Both of you — grab on here and get on your hands and knees."

I pulled them up and bent them over the rim of the spring.

Squelch—!

"Hhn!"

I hesitated for half a second, then spread Kanisia's ass and pushed inside. I had already had Aquaril. Now I wanted Kanisia.

"Haaahn~ I've been waiting for this!"

The moment I filled her she moaned, drowning in it. I had gone ten days starving. She had been holding herself back just as long. She was at the age when desire ran hottest, and it wasn't as if she didn't know what sex tasted like — she knew exactly how sharp it was, how hard it hit.

I seized her narrow waist and started thrusting in earnest. We were soaked, sitting in the bath, and the wet slap of skin on skin cracked through the steam like a whip.

"Haaahn! Aahn! Nngh~!"

She knew the spring's soundproofing was solid. She didn't hold anything back — she just screamed, raw and animal, and her voice was so filthy my hips refused to stop.

"Hah?!"

I pushed two fingers into Aquaril, into a cunt already slick with her own juices, and her back arched like a drawn bow as a moan spilled out of her.

"You like it, Kanisia?"

"Yes! I love it! I love it so much I'm going crazy!"

"Heh heh heh... Then ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠go crazy. Just lose it."

"Aaaaaahn~!"

"Kh... I can't hold it— I'm coming, Kanisia!"

"Aaaah...! I-I'm cominggg~!"

I slammed into her like a man possessed, then pulled out and spent myself across the smooth, elegant line of her waist. Pale streaks painted her white skin.

"Haa... haa..."

Kanisia came with me. Her legs gave out and she sat down hard, and my semen clouded into the warm water around us.

Squelch—!

"Aaaah... Master!"

The instant I was done with Kanisia I buried myself in Aquaril. I hadn't taken a single stamina tonic, and my cock still had no interest in going down.

"Come here, Kanisia. Let's kiss."

"Mmh..."

I reached out, and Kanisia — who had been watching us with a dazed, empty look — crawled over and clung to me. I pulled her in and kissed her deep and slow.

Hot spring sex... was the best.

Just nine more visits, right?

I swore to myself, then and there, that I would come back to the Oasis Hot Spring nine more times — so that someday I could do this whenever I damn well pleased.

We spent our first day in Baidu like beasts in heat. How many times I came... honestly, I couldn't even tell you.

We stayed in that spring until the sun went down. When we finally dragged ourselves out, Abraham was already back from gathering information. After dinner we built a raid schedule off what he had brought us, then split up and went to our rooms.

"Aaaah...! Master! Please come entirely inside me!"

"I'm coming, Aquaril!"

The Stamina stat really did matter, class be damned. After everything we had already done that day — hours of it, filthy and unhurried — my cock still swelled the moment it brushed Aquaril's smooth thigh.

We spent the night in Baidu's finest hotel. In the morning we checked out and took a room at an inn instead. After a night in the best hotel in the city, the new place did not exactly impress.

We dropped our luggage, took only our weapons and packs, and headed out.

"So we're raiding a dungeon now?"

"Yeah. We had a full day of rest. Time to get back to the actual job. More importantly — Abraham."

"What is it, Lord Alan?"

"You didn't get any rest. You all right?"

"Do not concern yourself. I have rested sufficiently as well."

"Hey! Why are you looking after my Fairy?"

The second I checked on Abraham, Kanisia snapped at me from the side. The smile all over her face, though, said she didn't mind it one bit.

"If you say so. All right — let's move out."

"Yes, Master."

"Yeah!"

"Let us depart."

We left Baidu behind us.

Our first target was a D-rank dungeon.

The land around Baidu was dotted with dungeons of every grade, from the easiest F-rank all the way up to A-rank. Of those, the city's ruler — the Witch Queen — had opened everything from F-rank through C-rank for the Masters staying in the city.

She had left the A-rank and B-rank closed because the difficulty was no joke. Clearing a B-rank dungeon required a raid party built of at least 5-Star combatants. The A-rank, they said, was something the Witch Queen and her Fairies cleared once a week. In plain language, the A-rank dungeon was her private property.

A-rank dungeons drop Highest Growth Stones. And you don't start using Highest Growth Stones to raise stats until 6-Star. Which means the Witch Queen and her Fairies are 6-Star or higher.

"At least 6-Star" was the polite way of putting it. In the game, the Witch Queen had been a 7-Star Master. There were 7-Star Fairies in that city. I was sure of it.

"This the place?"

"Yeah. It is, but..."

"There are a great many people."

"Hmm..."

We had arrived at the D-rank dungeon, The Sand People's Rest. The entrance was a sea of bodies. There were street stalls. There was even a makeshift smithy. It looked less like a dungeon gate and more like a village that had grown up around one.

"Ah, no way... it can't be."

The press of people sent a bad feeling crawling up my spine. The worst-case scenario unspooled in my head with ugly clarity.

"Have you come to raid the dungeon?"

"Yes. Can we go in right now?"

"A party is currently inside, so that will not be possible at this time. Let me see... there are six more parties ahead of you, Masters. You would be able to enter in thirty-nine hours. Shall I add you to the waiting list?"

"...Give me a moment."

And just like that, the worst-case scenario played out exactly as I had imagined it.

Ah... I miss the game.

In the game, you walked up to whatever dungeon you wanted and went in. No waiting. No line. But that was a game, and this was reality, and reality was full of other Masters who wanted to raid the same damn hole in the ground.

I finished with the soldier at the gate, swallowed the thunderbolt of a thirty-nine-hour wait, and walked back to the others. Then I told them what he had told me.

"What? Thirty-nine hours? So we can't raid today?"

"Yeah. Ah... this is a total wash."

"I... I did not hear of this..."

Kanisia's face twisted. Abraham looked genuinely rattled. He had brought back the location and the difficulty. He had not brought back the part about a waiting list.

"What about cutting in line?"

"You think that'd work?"

I shook my head at Kanisia's suggestion. The soldiers at the gate were not the only problem. A Master sworn to the Witch Queen was standing there with them, watching the entrance.

Status window.

Holy hell...

I couldn't help the sound that slipped out of me. Four-Star, and the two stats that actually mattered for a mage — Wisdom and Magic — were both sitting north of seventy. Magic was flirting with eighty, the hard cap for a 4-Star. On top of that, he wasn't even a basic Mage. He had already classed up into Dark Mage.

A base class topped out at level 30. To push any further you had to take an advanced class. Fail to class up and it didn't matter how high your level or your rank climbed — your class level stayed locked at 30 forever.

Prince Port was a glass cannon. A weak body and a staggering amount of killing power. If we tried to jump the line, dark magic would be in the air before we finished the thought.

"So what now? Should we try another dungeon?"

"Wouldn't it be the same situation over there?"

"Ugh... so today's a bust, then?"

"My apologies, Master... I ought to have inquired more thoroughly..."

"Huh? Ah, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠no~ This isn't your fault, Abe. No need to droop like that."

Abraham's face fell, and Kanisia rushed to soothe him. Watching a man that size wilt like that, he looked exactly like a golden retriever getting scolded by its owner.

I thought it over for a moment. Then I opened my mouth.

"Can't be helped."

"Huh? What are you gonna do?"

"Effective ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠immediately, we execute Plan B."

"Plan B? We had one of those? What is it?"

A competent leader was supposed to produce a solution. I produced one on the spot.

"First, we go back to Baidu."

"Okay. And then?"

"And then we eat and have sex until the thirty-nine hours are up!"

"...You lunatic!"

Kanisia's fist came flying.
