Chapter 202: A good fish deal

There was no sign on Wayfinder of any kind of bridge or obvious crossing. That didn't mean there wouldn't be smaller sections, however, and Mason and the others wandered down the river bank for a few minutes before Streak practically came flying out of the water.

An image of something big and scaled flashed through Mason's mind, and his Claws were out as he readied for a fight.

"God damnit, Streak," he muttered. Becky and Seamus looked confused, but Phuong just drew his blade.

Chapter 201: Sending a message

Mason had yet to find any goblins, but he did find a giant, green...

"What in the name of Christ is that?" Seamus whispered, much too loudly, apparently having crept out from where he'd been told to wait back in the denser trees. Mason sighed.

"I think it's a different kind of troll.”

"Sorry, Patron," Phuong said as he crept up next to them. "I figured stunning him was more disruptive than just letting him go."

"I thought we were waitin', what are ya'll doing up here...

Chapter 200: Good human

Carl yawned and waited in some bushes. Or maybe became the bushes. Since the whole 'nature theme' had transformed the settlement and put trees and things everywhere, hiding with his Reflection power had really become too easy.

Not for the first time, he watched some of the others having one of their little 'secret' meetings on the edge of the settlement. People thought they were so sneaky.

"...listening to a word we say. Why should we help these Americans build their...

Chapter 199: I'm going to need some help

(Includes another Patreon only sex scene.)

A hundred pairs of multi-colored orc eyes followed Blake and Ilya across the hall. A special place had apparently already been created for the White Tower—a collection of tables and chairs for kin and clan. They were, for the moment, entirely empty.

But Blake brought several constructs. These clattered and thumped in a steady rhythm behind him, quickly drawing the wide stares of the attending orcs. Blake had convinced I...

Chapter 198: Mine Complete

[New Settlement Addition: Elemental Mine complete.]

Mason blinked awake to find Rosa and Haley cuddled against him on either side. The blaring warning of the system woke them, too, and Haley yawned with a luxurious stretch. Rosa glanced at them both with a slight look of embarrassment.

"Stop that," Mason said, rolling over and holding up her chin for a passionate kiss. She resisted for a moment, but soon sunk into it. "Do you feel good?" he asked when he pulled up.

"I…do."...

Chapter 197: You think too much

Mostly Mason just wanted to be alone. 

Well, really he wanted to sit with Blake and hear about his latest conquests or ridiculous stories of screwing with rich kids or breezing his way through school. He wanted not to be in charge, stared at by every pair of eyeballs, especially by women who shouldn’t, his every word important and hung on by manipulative, ambitious, stupid, little...

"Mason!"

Haley's voice was one of the very few things that could have kept h...

Chapter 196: Go home then

Mason waited in a chair like all the others as the players filed in and took their seats around their circular table.

My motley crew of knights, Mason thought, knowing the old Arthurian legends were always horseshit. It was supposed to indicate 'equality'. But soldiers and kings weren't equal, no matter how round you chopped the wood.

When it came to men and violence, someone had to be in charge. And if that person was too weak or too lenient it meant people got hurt, and...

Chapter 195: I'll sort that out

"Don't. Ever. Do that. Again." Becky was clutching Mason and trailing kisses down his face and neck before he got inside the chief's hall.

"Seven days," Haley explained, giving him a hug and a quick peck on the lips. "Carl sent out a team to look for you after four. We tried talking to the nymphs, but they wouldn't even let us see their damn tree."

Mason sighed and nodded. "Sorry about that. Things got…a little out of hand. But I managed. And I got this." He held u...

Chapter 194: Blake of the White Tower

Blake and Ilya ran through the newly formed 'White Tower' hand in hand.

Most rooms were already filled with basic furniture—the simple orc sleeping furs, various chairs and tables and stools. They had all kinds of useful, everyday items, from bowls to cutlery, bronze trays to...shitting buckets. The orcs didn't exactly have modern plumbing, which was especially odd considering the human settlements did.

"I'm going to have to build a toilet," Blake muttered as he inspected.

Chapter 193: Fang Brothers

Mason decided the first task was to deal with his level. As a patron he had more time, but he saw little point in waiting.

A new power was no trivial thing, not to mention tiering up another. He went over the list, and soon saw his Feral Druid class and enhancing ‘Bold Strategy’ title was no joke.

On top of some of the familiar power choices, Mason now saw an extensive list of powers highlighted in green with a kind of transparent claw to indicate the source. They had a new �...

Chapter 192: Rochmananoch

The giant seemed at a loss. So Mason acted first.

He ran forward, feeling incredibly slow despite his obvious strength, increasing the length of his strides. He increased it more and more, until he was practically leaping forward in long bounds. And he didn't have far to go.

With a final push, he practically flew at the giant, panicking as he felt his own momentum hurling forward with incredible force. The giant finally started to raise its arms to fight, but Mason smashed shoulde...

Chapter 191: Still alive

Mason walked through an endless field of wheat, not a tree in sight nor a cloud in the sky. He felt a warm hand in his, and smiled as he looked to see Haley walking beside him, her golden hair more vibrant than the field.

“You have to get home, my love,” she said, squeezing his hand and putting the other to her belly. “This is no time for druid dreams.”

“I know.” He sighed and looked out towards the horizon, seeing a man running towards him in the distance. He was too ...

Chapter 190: At least we'll be together

Things were getting, in a word, ridiculous.

The giant and his minions seemed pretty much unkillable. One of the smaller elementals had actually managed to catch Mason and knock him slightly dazed, at which point Mason had run off and entirely regenerated. Now they were back to running around uselessly again, and Mason was getting pretty ready to change things up.

On one of his many passes, he altered his trajectory, ran right up to the old druid, and gave a screaming Predator's St...

Chapter 189: Piece by piece

Mason heard the giant before he saw it. Dull, thunderous booms echoed through the trees like a deep bass drum with perfect rhythm. Mason had reached what seemed the Southern edge of the great forest, beyond it more mountains and arid ground that looked almost like desert.

It was a stark and vaguely unnatural contrast, at least on earth, but apparently not in roboGod's new world.

As he emerged from the denser trees he found the giant's head sticking up from a nearby patch of young ...

Chapter 188: Bold Strategy, Cotton

Streak looked and sounded how Mason felt. The wolf was soon slumped over to his side, staring at Mason with something like wounded betrayal, a constant whining growl coming from his gut.

"Sorry, buddy," Mason clenched a fist and braced against the pain. "Yes I should have thought it through better. It won't last long. I hope."

He was right. It got worse. Then pain became nausea, and he held it together right until Streak started dry heaving with that horrible dog puking sound, and...

Chapter 187: Don't look at me like that

(Small Patreon only section below. I cut this from the book, but figured you folks might still appreciate it.)

It took Mason several more minutes to remember Calypsa. He found the other nymph naked and leaning against a rock with her legs spread, hand buried between them as she had clearly been watching them.

Mason rose and walked to her naked, taking her hair and putting his cock to her lips without a word. She opened her mouth and kept touching herself as she su...

Chapter 186: The gift of magic (Patreon only scene)

"The hell just happened?" Becky whispered as she and Rosa took Mason's arm instead of Calypsa's.

"Goblins," he answered. "Dead now. Don't worry."

"I 'ain't worried, just confused. All I saw was trees and bloody mist and then I heard screamin'."

Calypsa vanished, but Mason paused as he went to touch the tree. "You girls alright? Any...concerns before we go inside? You, uh, know what they're like."

"Yes, we know what they're like," Becky said, flushing a little. Then aft...

Chapter 185: Why don't we go inside?

Mason probably worked the girls harder than he should have. He'd picked a reasonably comfortable pace at first, but they kept pushing him (each other, really) beyond until he more or less said 'fuck it' and went at 'human fast run' speed for two hours.

It wasn't a remotely fair competition, either. Rebecca was a player, Rosa was a civilian. Mason wasn't sure what Rebecca's Vitality was but considering she was a defensive player he was guessing it was pretty damn high.

But Rosa was...

Book 5 begins tomorrow!

Mostly just a milestone post to say book 4 is finished, and book 5 is on the way (it's ready to go, and I'm writing book 6 now). Truly enjoying writing this series, so thanks as ever for the support and comments and coming along for the ride.

In this next book you can expect more Mason focus...some class upgrades...a scary giant...a new girl...some familiar foes...and, well, plenty of sexy times.

Onward!

P.S. Also awhile back a patron requested Haley in work out clothes. Req...

[//Experience gained. Undefined.]

[Title gained: Error Survivor. Thank you for your patience. +2 luck]

The block of system text floated before Blake’s eyes, but he ignored it.

"Are you alright?" He went to Ilya and found her neck was already red and bruised. It seemed even with her magically enhanced st...

Chapter 183: Blake vs Gromsh

The climb towards Gromsh was excruciating. Or at least it probably was. For the pullers.

Blake didn't help them at all. Instead he focused all his attention on the battle ahead as he walked.

They reached the end of the city and the beginning of the tower floors without challenge, climbing floor after floor with their hired orcs grunting and once or twice asking what the hell was inside the cart.

"A gift. For the king," Blake said with as much haughty attitude as he was capab...

Chapter 182: Let's get running

Mason chewed his...whatever it was called...and grinned. Just watching and listening to his girls calmed him down, made him feel something approaching...normal. Though he knew his life was far from it.

"Oh!" Becky turned to Haley and slapped her arm. "I went down to the temple yesterday lookin' for yer thyme, and I smelled this...amazin' thing, so I went over to see some flowers. And I was gonna pick a few to bring home, and one spit at me! Hit me right here.” She gestur...

Chapter 181: Destiny

Blake woke with Ilya asleep and naked, arm draped over his chest. He moved some of her dark hair from her forehead, smiling as he inspected her beautiful face. It had been the most meaningful, honest sexual encounter he'd had in his life, and the girl wasn't even human. Life in the post-apocalypse remained very strange.

Speaking of which...

Blake extricated himself from his lover and sat up to find one construct vaguely staring at him, like an extra creepy guard dog. The other sor...

Chapter 180: Sitting peacefully (Patreon bonus scene)

Mason could not, in fact, sleep. After what felt like a reasonable, mostly human, amount of time, he kissed his way up Rebecca’s body.

“Haley,” his country girl said breathlessly. “I think he’s fucking me again.”

The Canadian groaned sleepily, and Mason grabbed Becky, feeling like a mindless, lust filled animal. He sucked on her amazing tits as she gasped, then spread her legs and pushed inside. She moaned and mostly held on for dear life as he ground her into the bed....

Chapter 179: It's a long story

Becky was naked before she reached the bathroom, tossing her clothes back at Mason with little grins and an adorable attempt to seem like a stripper.

"There's not enough room for three," Haley announced from the couch. "It's always too cramped in there. I'm going to cook."

As with all things Haley, Mason knew it would be some kind of stratagem, which meant Becky probably needed some alone time. He accepted it with a grunt and followed the Arkansas girl towards the shower, shedding...

Chapter 178: Baron

"That was pretty cool," Mason said. "What do you call that power?"

"Shocking Fist." John grinned. "I went with a kind of weaponless, tanky class because I figured I couldn't rely on finding weapons. Anyway, it projects out a bit and surprises people, so the name makes me laugh. He'll live. Probably."

Mason nodded, pretty damn happy he'd found someone else who seemed made to soak or prevent damage up close. He'd have to talk some more about the man's class, and try and get him some...

Chapter 177: Nekosh

Seamus woke up about a minute after they left the tree. He shook and twitched and started cursing until Mason set him down.

"What bloody happened, eh?" He turned and glared at Phuong. "Don't you think I'm not onto you, you slanty eyed bastard. It told me I was bloody stunned. I should..."

"Shut up before he kills you, Seamus," said Mason non-chalantly, Phuong yawning behind him. "Your life is mine for a year, after that you're free to be careless. Now where's that friend of yours?...

Chapter 176: Level sixteen

Level sixteen. Mason had sure as hell come a long ways from a panicked level one in the tutorial, barely able to kill a goblin.

On the other hand, back then at least he’d had a bow. But moaning didn't help anything. He pulled up his profile.

Chapter 175: That felt good

Mason froze as he watched the flaming missiles strike the tree's heart. It was like seeing someone drop a glass, or slip on some ice. You knew where things were likely headed, but still hoped it was otherwise.

It didn't explode, or rip apart, at least. Instead a chunk of the beautiful green flesh darkened, and a noise like a strong wind through a woods rattled in the air. The heart 'closed' like a flower, covering itself in a thick layer of dark flesh almost like a walnut.

It all ...

Chapter 174: Human magic

Ilya’s lips were thick and soft. She made a slight moaning sound and didn’t move as Blake came forward until her breasts squished against his chest. She pulled back for air with closed eyes, and Blake trailed kisses down her face to her neck as he ran his hands up her back.

Ilya moaned just at that, and Blake was getting harder by the second. He soon cupped her ass and moved his lips lower, making a path down her collarbone and shoulder to her full breasts.

She gripped his ope...
