Greed God chapter 53

January 16th 2016 Cherry Hill 11:00 AM EDT

I  fucked Cheshire into a drooling mess. We went for hours, and she  managed to remain conscious for about half of that time, impressively,  though that half was not consecutive. She would black out and I'd fuck  her conscious and she'd hold on for a while and then black out again. He  voice gave out about halfway through the night, and just in general a  good time was had by all. I also finally got the notification for her  points after hour six or so.

[  Congratulations host! H rank member of B rank Assassins's guild, the  League of Shadows stolen. Averaging point value, averaging difficulty.  Theft value F rank! Ten thousand points awarded!]

Ten  grand put me back up over a hundred thousand and up to a hundred and  three grand in GP, which was a nice bonus. After I finished breaking in  Cheshire I decided to do some business and I made some calls and finally  put the money through on this estate. I got a hundred points for  squiring an H rank mansion, which was nice, but not extremely relevant,  because I'd had a very specific reason for buying this place. I was  planning to do a test. I called Whisper to have her bring some supplies  over and I woke my new slut cat with a slap on her martial arts toned  ass.

She groaned, sitting up. I  handed her a glass of water, which she drank with a nod and a wince.  "You didn't take it easy on me did you? I've been in car accidents that  caused less damage." I chuckled and passed her the kimono that had  fallen on the floor when we were having sex.

I  gave her very well fucked body a once over. "What can I say, I couldn't  get enough. It was my one chance with you right?" Her lips twitched and  she glared at me. I held up my hands. "Hey, mark or not I told you I  would take one night, I won't force you to stay if you don't want to. "  She kept glaring at me, standing up on wobbly legs and shoving her arms  testily into the kimono.

The  silence went on a bit longer before she spat out angrily. "I can find  you here next time?" I nodded from behind my mask, which I'd never taken  off. She gave a huff. "Fine. You have a nice cock, and you know how to  fuck, I'll be back because I enjoyed myself, are you happy?" She tied  her sash and picked up her mask from under the bed, slipping it back on  before stalking out the door. I slapped her ass on the way out and she  squeaked cutely, jumping before storming out even faster. I grinned to  myself. She was a fun one.

I  considered doing her upgrade now, but I decided to wait. I had plans  for my points here, and they would be much more useful. Once she was  gone I slipped my clothes back on, and activated the treasure vision on  my mask. I spend the next hour or so stripping every fucking camera out  of the walls and floors of the place. Knightfall had only covered the  one room with cameras, but she'd been fucking thorough about it. There  were dozens of angles for coverage, and once I stripped them all out I  shoved them in a bag for later just in case.

By  the time I finished Whisper, Waylon, and Bonebreaker had shown up,  carting in huge crates of stuff. Art, gold, jewels, weapons, books,  pretty much anything of value Whisper had been able to find that had  ended up in my supply room, as well as several new crates of valuable  art I'd requested, bringing my total up to a hundred and fourteen  thousand GP. They carted it all in and set it down in the front room,  looking around at the estate. Bonebreaker looked skeptical. "Not to  question you boss, but this place is a total shithole. Zero security,  way too many exits, and even the walls aren't exactly in top shape. Why  bring all this valuable stuff her?"

I  smirked at her. "Because Sally, I'm going to fix all of those things,  and you're going to watch. A little demonstration to convince you a bit  of what I can do. Luckily this place is well off the main road and on a  huge estate so the changes won't be so obvious." I wasn't exactly sure I  COULD do this, but the idea was much too good to pass up, so I started  sifting through the various treasures to find things that I thought  would be useful. First thing I did was pick up a few paintings.

Beautiful  still life's of cathedrals and castles were merged together. I wanted  something objectively beautiful, and this was going to be one of my  primary ingredients. A painting would be the perfect way to create the  environment I wanted before attempting the actual process. I merged a  few paintings together to create an F ranked masterpiece, and when I  appraised it I had to stare in awe at what came out.

[Appraisal  function activated. Treasure detected.  Aria of Transcendence- F rank. A  glimpse into the courts of the holy, the shining silver halls of heaven  are transcribed on this canvas. To gaze upon the aria is to know peace  of the soul. Trauma is mended and burdens are lifted, ascending the  spirit of the viewer closer to perfection.]

Interesting.  I'd noticed that the descriptions for F ranked artifacts tended to be  more esoteric and slightly more poetic, presumably because they had less  in the way of limits. I was down to a hundred and two thousand, and I  couldn't afford to craft another F ranked artifact. Luckily I didn't  actually need to. The reason this load of goods had given me so many  points was because Whisper had officially defected, and brought  something very valuable with her when she came over.

[Appraisal  function activated. Treasure detected. The Crime Bible: The High  Madame's Binding- F rank. A book of dark knowledge penned as a  recruiting tool by the god of Tyranny himself. The rarest of the three  versions of the tome, the poisoned lies within flow with corruption of  Left Hand of the Great Darkness, and it's corrupt message can twist even  the stoutest of hearts.]

Whisper  hadn't actually known any of that stuff about the god of Tyranny, which  made sense since the Religion of Crime didn't worship an actual god,  they were just really into the whole selfish hedonism thing. Still, this  thing seemed like the absolutely perfect combination with my new uber  holy F rank painting. One to twist the soul and one to repair it. I was  genuinely excited to see what came out of the thing. I closed my eyes,  took in a deep breath, and intiiated my first E ranked merge.

The  world SHUDDERED. The fabric of reality itself jolted by the integration  of to greater artifacts of power. F rank was a watershed, I'd already  seen that with Eros and Psych and the animals, but this was a whole  different level. H rank was superhuman either by power or sheer skill, G  was more than human, abilities that put people on a scale of power to  take on a huge group of people or a mid tier meta. F rank's were army  killers, or people with powers that could seriously alter the tides of  war. E ranks though...what would an E rank be?

The  items glowed with power as the light converged into a single shape, and  when it faded all that was left behind was a single painting. I'd used  the Aria as a base, because I wanted as little of that toxic crazy  making bible in my artifact as possible, and the final form of it showed  that decision.

[Appraisal  function activated. Treasure detected. Prison of Sin- E rank. Pandora's  box contained all the evil in the world, and when it was opened, all  that remained was hope. But in another world, hope was released and at  the bottom of box lie only sin. This image of that dark reflection shows  the hidden depths of depravity that the gods hid from men for their own  protection, to look into the prison is to see the darkest most twisted  desire in the depths of your heart, where every sick fantasy is buried  under lock and key. Beware.]

I  did NOT, obviously, look into the image. I wasn't an idiot. The system  didn't say things like "beware" which meant that thing was probably  basically magical plutonium. Luckily I didn't need to pay too much  attention to that. This thing was going bye bye pretty much immediately.  I activated the merge again, targeting something a bit different. When I  activated it this time I tried to merge the house itself with the E  ranked painting. It did take some effort, but much less than merging the  painting and the book. I just had to focus a bit harder than usual for a  G rank.

I could afford it  because the thing would drop down to G rank because of the rank  difference, meaning it only cost a thousand. I activated the last merge,  hoping everything went well. A house and a prison were not the same  thing, but part of that nature had come from the Aria, which was a holy  hall, and I was using the house as the primary ingredient, so the result  should be a habitable home with just insane levels of security.

There  was a shudder and the world blazed with light as the two object merged,  I'd never tried this on something this big before, or something I was  in. The shifting lights and riotous colors consumed the world around us  in a cascade of of energy and wonder, and I couldn't help but stare in  amazement at the place as the light faded, revealing my brand new G rank  house in all it's supernatural glory.

[Appraisal function activated. Treasure detected. Palace of  Debauchery- G rank. The seat of power of a lord of sins, the enjoyment  of the pleasures of the flesh are heightened within the walls of the  palace. Hidden perversions will slowly be drawn to the forefront through  prolonged stays. The palace shields its owner's sins from the world,  protecting the occupants and their privacy with an impassable defense.]

The  estate was...luxurious. Decadent even. Every wall was papered with  beautiful gold leaf on a black background, and the floors were carpeted  with thick, plush carpet that made me want to roll around in it like a  dog. The steps were wide and broad and the halls seemed to have  expanded, stretching out further than they had before, though when we  checked the outside had barely changed.

The  palace was massive, and within it we found every indulgence. Sex  dungeons, a massive gourmet kitchen, pools, games, rooms full of plush  beds just as decadent as the one I made to fuck Jade. The whole place  was just the pinnacle of excess, and it was mindblowing. The others were  staring in awe at what I'd made, absolutely stunned at the sheer power  on display. Bonebreaker in particular looked at me like she'd just seen  the light at the end of the tunnel, finally convinced I could really  help her get her daughters back.

I  turned to Whisper. "I'll text the old man to clear it up, but I want  you to move all my things here. This is going to be our new base of  operations." With the security from the prison keeping out threats I was  confident we would be fine here. G rank metas were powerful combatants,  and high G rank security would keep out most anything in Gotham.  Whisper nodded, Waylon and Bonebreaker doing the same, and they all  tromped back out the door to head to my old mans place. I looked around  my new palace with a grin. I wanted to check out the new digs.
