WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 2

Vhan looked the same as I remembered it. The massive city built around an inactive volcano was just as crowded as the last time I visisted, with people from all walks of life traveling through it. Sights, sounds, and smells that couldn’t be found in Nevaria or the Endless Desert invaded my senses from every direction.

“Such a large city! Darling! Darling! This city is so big!”

To my right, Lin was grabbing my arm with one hand while pointing at the massive structures with the other. Her eyes were sparkling. While she didn’t have the same vibrancy as, say, Kari after she discovered a new ancient ruin, the look on her face was still enough to make me smile.

“The city is pretty impressive,” Kari said with a nostalgic smile. “It’s even more populous than Nevaria. I think the last estimate was something like ten million people.”

“Wow!” Lin’s eyes went wide.

Because Vahn was built around a volcano, the city itself looked like a many tiered cake. The first tier was the largest, and it spread out around the mountain at ground level, with the second, third, and fourth tiers each becoming smaller than the last as they traveled up the volcano’s slope. At the very top of the volcano was a building that looked like an ancient temple, though Kari and I knew it was actually a place where troops were transported through a multi-dimensional Warp Gate during the war with the Sekbeist Overlord and his army.

“The buildings are packed quite closely together,” Fay murmured as she and Siv looked around. The two young woman walked hand in hand next to me. They turned their heads in every direction as if trying to capture everything they possibly could in their memories.

Well… Fay was. Siv was hiding behind her.

“Momma! Look! Big building!” Raul said as he rode atop Fay’s shoulders.

Fay tenderly smiled at her son’s words. “That’s right. There are a lot of big buildings here.”

The buildings were all packed closely together and made from geometric shapes like squares and rectangles. Most of them had flat roofs where people could relax when they didn’t want to be stuck in the bustling streets below. While some of the buildings were made of wood and stone, most of them were created from a substance called stucco. Many of these buildings had unique motifs dedicated to one of the Great Overlords.

“It’s pretty magnificent,” I agreed with everyone’s assessment. “After we find an inn to stay at and get some food, how about we look through the city? Aside from Kari and myself, this is everyone else’s first time coming here, so we should make the most of it.”

Everyone agreed with my decision. Even Siv agreed after Kari somehow convinced her.

I decided to take the lead since only Kari and I knew where everything was around here, and Kari was content to simply remain by my side. Had this been her first time, I was sure she’d be rushing off to explore like she’d tried to do in my previous life.

“You were thinking something rude just now,” Kari said from my left.

“Was not,” I denied it. “I was fondly remember our first time here.”

“Hmph. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. See if I don’t bite your dick off the next time it’s my time to bed you.”

“You can’t do that!” Lin suddenly shouted in protest. “Darling has not given this princess any children yet! I still need that!”

“Is the only reason you’re concerned about my genitals because you want kids?” I muttered.

“O-o-of course not! T-this princess was just… you know… she was just saying…”

While Lin tried to sputter out an excuse, the rest of us laughed at her, even Raul (I was sure he didn’t know why we were all laughing though), which caused Lin’s cheeks to swell like someone had filled them with hot air.

“Hey. Wow. Check out those babes!”

“Man. I’ve never seen so many cuties before!”

“Mhmm. That blonde woman is smoking!”

“Ha! Who cares about her? Look at that redhead. Damn, she is so fine. I’d happily die just to bed her once!”

“You people have no taste! That lamia is the most exotic beauty I’ve ever seen in my life! I’d gladly mate with her all night long!”

“I like the one with wings. She’s just like a doll!”

“Dude. I didn’t know your strike zone went that low.”

Perhaps I had grown slightly desensitized to people talking about us after all this time, but the only comment among the peanut gallery that really bothered me was the one about Siv being below someone’s strike zone. She was smaller than the average adult woman, I’ll admit, but that in no way meant she was childish or looked like a kid. And while I didn’t know her exact age, my wife was at least a decade older than me.

The little shit who said that better pray I never find them, or I was gonna kick his ass so hard they’d never be able to go to sit without experiencing intense pain again.

“Speaking of beauties… do you think they’re with that man in the front?”

“Is that a man?! I thought that was a really manly woman!”

I almost tripped when I heard that. Behind me, Kari’s snickering caused my ears to burn red. Only my immense willpower, which had been cultivated through the fires of war, death, and despair, kept me from crying.

Since we were in Vahn, there was only one place where I was willing to rent out rooms.

The Warrior’s Refuge was a three-story building that was longer than it was wide, had the same flat roof as the other buildings, and featured many impressive motifs decorating the outside. Most of the motifs depicted a variety of male and female warriors. The men had burly bodies and bushy beards, while the women were manlier and more muscular than your average woman.

We passed through the double doors, and Fay, Lin, and Siv all gawked as we found ourselves standing inside of a room that was half bar and half restaurant. Raul did not gawk like them, but his curious eyes wandered to all the new faces. Numerous monster core laps hung from chandeliers, illuminating the room. Groups of armored men and women laughed, drank, and ate at the round tables situated around the room, their faces red from too much alcohol. Meanwhile, bustling between them were the waitresses who worked there.

“It’s just the same as I remember,” I said with a small smile.

At that very moment, one particularly grabby customer groped the bottom of a young waitress who’d been passing by. Kari and I quickly grabbed Lin, Fay, and Siv before moving out of the way. We were just in time. The man who didn’t know the words “hands off” was quickly hauled out of his seat by the woman he grabbed. He tried to struggle, but the woman was stronger than her petite appearance suggested, and she didn’t hesitate to lift him up and throw him outside like he weighed less than a feather.

“It’s definitely just as I remember.” Kari giggled at the dumbfounded looks on my other wives’ faces.

“Big man! He flew!” Raul exclaimed.

“Indeed he did,” I said with a nod.

“She’s quite strong,” Fay added with an admiring glance at the waitress, who I could tell was at the First State of Spiritualism.

The waitress, now smiling in relief, suddenly seemed to realize we were present. She blushed, coughed into her hand, and presented us with a professional smile.

“Hello, honored guests! Welcome to the Warriors Refuge. Are you here to eat or rent out some rooms for the night?”

“Both,” I said, stepping forward. “We’d like to rent out… three rooms please.”

I had quickly made the calculations in my head. There were five of us—six if I included Raul. All the rooms in the Warriors Refuge were at most two-beds, and the beds were not large enough for more than two people. It was impractical to get one room. I would also admit that I had ulterior motives for doing this.

“Three rooms. Very well. We do have three rooms available. I assume you want the rooms to be close together?”

“Yes, please,” the five of us said in unison.

“Yes, pwease,” Raul added after us.

“Aw! He’s so adorable!” Completely forgetting herself, the waitress gushed over Raul. “I’m guessing you’re the father? Which one of these lucky ladies is the mother?”

“I gave birth to him,” Fay said as she took Raul off her shoulder and held him against her hip. “However, all four of us have decided to have an equal hand in raising him.”

“That so?” Fay’s words seemed to have made the waitress realize something because she looked at me again, this time with a speculative gleam in her eyes. I wondered if she was going to say something, but then she shrugged like it wasn’t her business. “That’s nice. Anyway, I’ll talk with the boss and arrange some rooms for you, but before that, let’s find you all a place to sit.”

We followed the waitress to an empty table, catching every eye along the way. Of course, none of them were looking at me.

Our waitress must have noticed how much attention we were attracting. She directed us toward an empty table near the back. We sat down. I was next to Kari and Fay, while Siv and Lin sat on the other side. Raul took his rightful place on his mom’s lap.

The waitress informed us that someone would soon come by to take our order and that we should look at the menu. We did that while talking. It was mostly Kari and I answering whatever questions Fay and Lin had about the city and the Northern Plains. Siv didn’t have any questions. I assumed she was too nervous to ask even if she did. Fay was interested in the strength of the many sects, while Lin wanted to know about the lamia we had seen in the streets.

“This princess has never seen a lamia with different colored skin than her!” she exclaimed.

“Their skin color is different because you grew up in different environments, I assume,” I said with a small shrug. “It’s hot in the desert and the sun is a constant threat. I think people from the Endless Desert have darker skin to protect them. Something like that.”

“Mm. Mm. That makes sense.” Lin nodded several times. “That explains why the humans in the Endless Desert also have dark skin.”

Another waitress soon came and took our orders. I don’t think the waitress was prepared for how much food we wanted. Her eyes became the size of dinner plates when we told her we wanted sixty servings of steak for Lin and Siv, but she still dutifully jotted down everything and said she’d do her best to get our orders ready. She added it would probably take some time.

Just as she said, not all the food we ordered arrived right away since there was a lot that had to be cooked. The meat dishes for Lin and Siv came out in portions instead of all at once. I assumed the chefs were working overtime to prepare it all.

“This looks so delicious,” Lin muttered as she eyed the massive slab of steak on her plate. Siv did not speak, but she was drooling.

Just as we were about to eat, the crowd grew oddly silent. Siv and Lin weren’t paying much attention, but Fay had noticed the silence.

“Eryk!” Kari suddenly exclaimed as she tugged on my sleeves. “Isn’t that…?”

“Yeah.” I nodded once. “That’s Erica all right.”

A group of four women had walked in through the door. The one leading them was a hard-looking woman who was about middle-aged. Despite having a few gray hairs and some crows feet, she didn’t look that old. On either side of her were two much younger women who many would have considered beautiful. On the left was a blond and on the right was a brunette. All three of them were wearing heavy plate armor and carrying weapons.

However, it was the one behind them who caught our attention.

The one behind the first three was an enchanting woman with bewitching locks of hair the color of raven’s feathers. Her pure black hair contrasted with her pale skin. She had a small nose, full lips, and gorgeous purples eyes, which turned quite a few of the men in this room into wolf whistling beasts. While my wives were far more impressive, she was certainly an earth-shattering beauty.

“Holy shit! It’s the Battling Valkyries! The Battling Valkyries are here!”

“Damn. I never expected to see members from one of the first-rate sect’s capable of fighting for the position of Sixth Great Sects here.”

The words coming from the people in the room confused me a little. Weren’t the Battling Valkyries already a member of the Six Great Sects? That was how I remembered it.

“Erica looks a lot younger than I remember,” Kari murmured.

I shrugged. “Well, we did arrive here about ten years earlier than last time. Hmm… come to think of it, she’s also a lot weaker. When we met the first time, I believe Erica was at the Second State of Spiritualism, but right now she’s only at the First State.”

“Should we talk to her?”

“Not right now. Remember, Erica has no idea who we are.”

“Right. I keep forgetting that.”

While Kari and I spoke about Erica, Fay and Lin seemed resigned.

“This princess knows Darling and Big Sister were in love in their previous lives and share a very strong bond, but she wishes they wouldn’t leave her out of the conversation.”

“Agreed. It is not very pleasant to be ignored like this.”

Upon realizing that we were talking about something my other wives had no knowledge of, Kari and I apologized profusely for leaving them out of the conversation. They forgave us… eventually.

***

After eating and renting out three rooms for one night, the six of us—I was including Raul—traveled into Vahn and explored the city.

Because Kari and I had been here before, we acted as tour guides for Fay, Lin, Siv, and Raul. We went to a park close to the market square where many companies made business transactions, bought food from stall vendors for Siv and Lin—they were still hungry—watched a play that was taking place in one of the city’s many amphitheaters, and shopped for jewelry and clothes.

By the time we were finished with our day, Raul had fallen asleep and everyone else was exhausted. The last I’d seen of them, Fay and Raul were traveling into one room, while Siv and Lin headed into another. Kari and I got our own room as well.

It was late in the evening now, and the sky was dark. Through the window, I could see the myriad of stars covering the night sky, along with our world’s two moons.

The sound of footsteps reached my ears. Seconds later, a pair of arms wrapped around me from behind and someone rested their cheek against my back.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve been alone like this,” Kari said.

“It has.” I placed my hands over hers and continued to look out the window. There were still a lot of lights from the city. “Ever since we began traveling, it’s been hard to spend time one on one with any of you.” I paused here as a wry smile twisted my lips. “Of course, had you not been adamant on bringing the others into our bed, we could have had a bit of time alone.”

I could feel Kari shrug against my back. “I couldn’t help it. The others are too cute and love you so much. I wanted all of them to have as much time with you as possible.”

I said nothing, not because I had nothing to say, but because I understood Kari’s line of thinking.

In our previous life, Kari had died in my arms after being struck by the Great Overlord of the Seventh Plain. Her death had been the cause of many nightmares for me, and turned me into the kind of monster who only cared about acquiring power and nothing else. Kari had not seen the depths I had gone to after her death. That said, she understood better than me how precious the time we had together was. She didn’t want the others going through something even remotely similar. She wanted all of us to be together for as long as possible because she knew there was a chance something would happen to eventually tear us about.

I turned around in Kari’s grasp and wrapped my arms around her thin waist. Out of all the women I was married to, Kari’s proportions were the most incredible. Her waist was small and thin, but her breasts were large and her hips wide. She had a plump butt that was firm and each cheek was shaped like a perfect circle.

Kari stared up at me with those bright blue eyes of hers. I was much taller than she was. My wife only came up to about my chest. As we gazed into each others eyes, I saw a mischievous glint appear in hers before she stood on her toes.

With a grin, I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. Kari whimpered as my arms tightened around her waist. Her breasts became smashed against my chest. The heat from her body made me dizzy.

Our kiss heated up as I pushed my tongue past her lips and teeth. Kari released a nasally gasped as she breathed through her nose. One of her hands went to my hair, but the other landed smack on my butt.

I wasn’t sure when I moved, but at some point, I found myself pressing Kari against the wall of our room. Her legs had become locked around my waist as I pinned her between me and the wall. My hands were on her ass, groping them to my hearts content. The saliva from our kiss mixed together as we caressed each other with our tongues. However, eventually, inevitably, that simple interaction was no longer enough.

“Eryk!” Kari gasped. “I want it. I want you to pound me. I want you to take me right now.”

“What a coincidence. I was thinking about how much I wanted to take you.”

Kari was wearing one of her nightgowns. It was a long dress made of silk that descended to her bare feet. It wasn’t sheer, but the gown was thin enough that I could feel her nipples pressing against my chest, letting me know she was not wearing any breast bindings.

I set Kari back on her feet and peeled the gown away, sliding it off her shoulders and letting it pool around her feet. She kicked it away. Now completely nude, I was able to catch a glimpse of perfection.

Kari’s silky smooth skin was more fair than anything I’d ever seen. Unblemished and perfect, her skin looked and felt softer than the finest fabrics in this world. The two large hills on her chest were capped with light pink nipples and areola, jiggling with even the slightest movement. As I looked further down, I found myself mesmerized by the flawless curves of her body. The smooth flow of her hips as they shifted into a pair of magnificent legs and small feet that took my breath away. Her hairless nether lips were already wet from our previous actions.

“It’s not fair that I’m the only one without clothes on,” Kari said, her eyes half-lidded.

“Mmm. You bring up a good point. Guess I don’t need these anymore.”

I removed my clothes one by one under Kari’s watchful gaze, smiling as the woman’s face became heavy with anticipation. She was staring at me like a hungry tigress. Once I had discarded all my clothes, I walked forward, pressed my entire body against Kari, and smiled as she released a subtle gasp.

I was sure some gentleman would not have put so much weight on their woman for fear of breaking them. However, Kari was a Spiritualist whose powers exceeded those of nearly everyone else. Only myself, Lin, Fay, and Siv were stronger than her, and that was only because we couldn’t find an S-rank Demon Beast with a light element. The light element was rare enough, nevermind finding a rare S-rank Demon Beast with one. In either event, Kari’s body was strong to the point where I doubted she felt even the slightest pain. Looking into her eyes, which were hooded with desire, I knew this to be true.

“Should we take this to the bed or just do it here?” I asked with a smile.

“Bed!” Kari gasped when I ground my pelvis against her. “Let’s do this on the bed!”

“Mm. Bed it is.”

I scooped Kari into my arms and swiftly strode to the bed. I didn’t deposit her on the bed but climbed on first and laid down with her on top of me.

Kari already knew what I wanted, for she shifted around until she was straddling my face. Her drenched pussy lips were glistening in the moonlight streaming in through the window. I rubbed those wet lips and listened to her panting grow louder and heavier. With a smile, I spread her lips apart and peered at the beautiful pink flesh inside.

“I just realized something,” I said suddenly.

“W-what have you realized?” asked Kari.

My smile widened. “We spent all that time wandering the city and eating, but I haven’t had dessert yet.”

I didn’t give her a chance to respond as I leaned up and licked her snatch. I dragged my tongue from the top to the bottom, then pressed my tongue into her folds and tasted her essence. Kari bit her lip and released a strangled gasp as I began eating her out, but then, as if she had decided to have some dessert too, Kari grabbed my dick in her delicate hands and began licking my shaft.

I groaned into her pussy as she covered my dick in her saliva. Her soft tongue felt like heaven on my hot cock, cooling it down and causing a shiver to travel from my tailbone to my brain. Once she had finished coating it in her natural lubrication, Kari grabbed her tits in both hands, engulfed my dick between them, and used them to rub my shaft as she sucked on my head.

Gritting my teeth to keep myself from crying out or bucking my hips, I decided there was no way I’d let myself cum before Kari did. As she flicked her tongue across my piss slit, I began eating out her pussy in earnest, gently stimulating it with the lightning element. At the same time, I found her clit and began applying a light amount of pressure with my thumb. Kari’s hips shook as she released a startled moan that was muffled by my cock in her mouth.

The only sounds in our room at that moment were the muffled moans and groans we released, along with the odd slurping sounds as we dined on each other. Sweat formed along our bodies. The scent of Kari’s pussy drove me wild and made me all the more enthusiastic. I buried my face in her smooth nether lips, my nose pressed against her ass, and continued to thoroughly explore her insides until, at last, I felt her entire body grow tense and a flood of nectar fill my mouth. After Kari had cum, I allowed myself to orgasm, shooting load after load inside of Kari, who didn’t spill a single drop.

With her orgasm over, Kari’s body slumped on top of me while my mind went blank for several seconds. We remained like that until we recovered. Then I slid out from underneath Kari and sat up.

Kari was still lying on her stomach, her bare ass right in my face. Droplets of sweat had formed along her skin. I watched as one adventurous little drop traveled into her buttcrack. Seeing that made me hungry and caused my semi-flaccid cock to spring back up.

I crawled over to Kari, grabbed her hips, and raised her ass into the air. Kari, who had just recovered, turned her head to look at me, her eyes filled with the same wanton lust that I felt pulsing through my veins.

“Are you going to pound me from behind?” she asked.

“That’s right. I thought it might be interesting if I filled both of these cute little holes.” I reached out and fingered both her pussy and her ass.

“Mmm… in that case, you had better be sure to fill them both properly.”

Grabbing my dick in one hand and placing the other on her ass, I guided myself to her entrance. Her lips were slightly engorged with arousal. They looked puffy. I rubbed my cock against her pussy, watching with a smile as Kari shuddered, then pushed myself inside of her.

“Ooohh! Ha… ha… Eryk… have you… grown bigger?”

“Doubtful,” I grunted as I bottomed out inside of her. The walls convulsing around my cock expanded to accommodate my gerth, but Kari was still pretty tight. I could have described it as my dick being gripped by a vice, but that wouldn’t have done this sensation any justice. Kari’s insides were soft, warm, and wet, but they also gripped me tightly like her pussy was trying to milk my seed.

“Ha… ha… this feeling… I feel… fuller than usual for some reason…”

“Hmm… maybe it’s because we haven’t had sex in over a month.”

“Maybe. Ahn! Eryk! I-if you thrust so suddenly like that, I’m gonna—!”

The sound of my hips smacking against Kari’s ass echoed around the room as I thrust myself inside of her. I used the muscles in my stomach to help increase the speed of my thrusts, carefully timing each one to maximize the sensations Kari was experiencing. My balls slapped against her thighs. The sound was drowned out by Kari’s ecstatic moans and screams, though she eventually buried her face into the bed sheets in an attempt to muffle the sound.

“Mmph! Mmm! Mmm! Mrrrrnnnn!”

I could feel the juices Kari was releasing flow around my cock. She hadn’t orgasmed yet, but she had become incredible wet. As a result, my dick was also well lubricated, which was good since I needed that for what I planned on doing next.

Pulling out, I pressed my dick against Kari’s ass and pushed my way inside. Kari’s muffled squeal echoed around the room as her back arched and her asscheeks shook. I didn’t wait to adjust and set a hard pace, relentlessly pounding her ass and making the bed shake. It would not surprise me if the people beneath us heard the noise. Come to think of it, I didn’t know how well these walls blocked off sound either.

Oh, well.

Just as Kari looked like she was about to cum, I pulled out. She moaned in complaint, but then I began fucking her pussy.

“Mmm! Hmmm! Hrrrnnn! Mmm!”

The muffled moans echoing around the room mixed with the slapping of flesh as I took Kari from behind, shifting between fucking her in the ass and pounding her pussy. My breathing had grown ragged by this point. I could feel my balls contracting and knew my end was coming soon.

“Mmm! S-so big! Ahn! So fast! Eryk! Ahn! I-I… I feel like I’m losing my mind! Ahn! Hyan!”

I was surprised Kari had regained her speech, but then I realized she had lifted her head, her back arching to an incredible degree. Her hips were pressed firmly against the bed now. Her ass was shaking and her legs were twitching. Each of her cute little toes spasmed as she pressed them into the bed, clutching the sheets between them.

With a grunt, I pulled out of her ass, shoved myself into her pussy, and then pressed two fingers inside of her butthole. By applying pressure in her ass, I could feel like dick caressing the walls of her vagina. I applied even more pressure as I sent just a small bit of lightning through her body.

Kari released the loudest scream I’d heard from her in a while. Drool leaked from her lips as she cried out and her eyes went crossed. Because I was afraid someone might complain about the noise, I leaned down and placed my ring finger in her mouth, which she immediately began sucking on like it was a chocolate covered banana. This at least somewhat muffled her moans as she orgasmed.

I couldn’t hold back anymore either, and as I thrust myself as far inside of Kari as I could, I released several shots of my seed. It felt like my mind had exploded.Then, with a great sigh, I laid down on top of Kari. I was spent. It was a satisfying exhaustion that only came after making love to one of my wives, an irreplaceable feeling that I wouldn’t trade an entire realm for. Pressing my face against Kari’s sweaty shoulder blades, I took several heaving gasps for breath and tried to recover.

Oh, boy. It had been awhile since Kari and I let ourselves go like that. I was certain she and I would be sore tomorrow morning.

I smiled.

Totally worth it.
