Amassing Souls

 

 

 

After making sure that Ruo Paodan was alright inside his White Space, as she began to hover up in the air out of nowhere; well, not really out of nowhere, as it was more than obvious that the possible death of her father had granted her an even more powerful and triggering effect besides having eaten that Essential Inheritance of their Race. Once he saw everything be alright within herself, Yun Beishang turned back to his own virtual reality outside of his True Wish relic and began to enjoy Cindy's warmness and care for him, even at such stupid silly moments just like these; inside a game.

Meanwhile, a silent Wolf Zyv was about to arrive to the Azure Dragon Sub-Division. Because there was no longer anyone impeding nor observing her every move whenever she entered -now any of- the Sub-Division, she teleported herself straight towards the levelling zone where The Order was farming mats and improving their skills. As such, she threw a little howl towards her back by raising her majestic snout high up to tell her big bro to let them know, in case they got scared by a basically-teleporting-immense-wolf appearing before them so suddenly.

Hence, with his left hand holding Cindy's left hand, Yun Beishang contacted his Order with the Association features to let them know of their arrival, and that they were about to get some more carry towards the max level before even the last month of the second update commenced! This was quite a feat, for sure. As even the most elite and pro players as of now were only below LV95. It may have had been rather easy for these maids and women of Yun Beishang to have achieved LV95+ with a lot of them even reaching LV99 themselves, but compared to farming normal to 1-2-3 Star Elite mobs to hunt down 2 Sacred Beast Protectors with one of them actually being at the Mythical grade, together; was just that good.

With his heart heavy and his breath complicatedly feeling strange, Yun Beishang arrived before a large forest/waterfall terrain where he was seemingly surrounded by an ordinary forest whose territory spanned over a few tens of kilometers. At the same time, where he appeared was an immensely large waterfall; better yet, the waterfall wasn't falling off from a mountain or a huge boulder but rather, a transparent immense tree with rosy, yellow and sparkling blue and green glows occasionally shining off every now and then; randomly. As for the waterfall, it seemed like it just came out of nowhere, the same with the tree. However, where the waterfall fell towards wasn't a pond or a small body of water, instead, at the tree's base was an immense chasm that allowed for one close enough to that waterfall-sized hole to hear the water slamming endlessly and furiously against the ground but not the image from such sounds. It was all black.

With these images and understandings flashing into Yun Beishang's mind at the moment he arrived thanks to his incredibly vast Mental Power, he then turned towards the nearest maid of his that was wearing a bulky and powerful armor, one that she had already exchanged in The Order's shop with a few Honorary points.

"Master! We were all farming and levelling a few dozens of meters away from here, I came here to scout and wait for Master. Please follow me, my lord. Hehe." After teasing her master and giggling a little, the tank maiden of his hurriedly moved to lead the way for both the now Human form Zyv and Cinders. Having already met one of Yun Beishang's 'old flames' before when Zyv brought them back to the Azure Dragon Sub-Division after dealing with the Perpetual Black Turtle, she only considered her a younger and cuter as well as shyer future 'Madam'. As such, the maid didn't said anything as she simply flashed Yun Beishang her buttocks cleverly and moved back towards the main group. At the same time, a message saying that 'she' won a full night with master could be seen in The Order's private, higher ups' chat.

A little bit later, walking forward by following his maid, Yun Beishang saw a strikingly beautiful Natalia with a set of ordinary-like and comfy white long-sleeved pegged dress on her body, looking more than fantastic and fairy-like. Behind her and to her sides where his maids and his women, with Cyn being right behind Natalia with a little but feral and bestial-looking young girl whose pitch-black like abyss eyes under her viking helmet were just astounding and impossible to miss.

Before he could relax his smile at seeing the silly Xiao Ruo, Zyv spoke first towards Natalia as she ran straight towards her while yelling, "Wohoooooo-waaaaaaaaaah! Big Sister, Big Sister! How are you~? I'm really fine, look, look. See that evil man over there? He just abducted another innocent young woman, he already defiled her and is now kidnapping her into his 'White Space' as if it's alright inside his head, disgusting!"

Natalia blinked twice, becoming wordless at Zyv's suddenly bratty behavior. She looked at Yun Beishang only to find him grinning and even somewhat teasingly glaring at the two young woman and girl speak to each other. Natalia then heard Zyv's voice again, this time, she was being more direct in her 'venomous' words. "Sniff, sniff. See? I can smell it! Eeeeewww~! They probably 'made' it for hours, ugh, what's worst is that he took advantage of her vulnerability from her last family dying and took her for himself. Isn't that evil? KYAAAAH!"

SLAP!

"Okay, you little wolf. That's enough, after I'm done checking some things, you'll have to spend some quality time with me, hear me?" Yun Beishang 'talked' some sense into her by spanking both her buttocks with his right hand as he lead Cindy over with his left. And as Zyv covered her buttocks and jumped upwards quite a few dozens of centimeters, her lips smooched Natalia's as a slightly mouth-opened Naty blinked thrice more before covering her lips in embarrassment. She could only think of her grievances alone, 'This little girl...'

Yun Beishang knew that this devilish angelic, immortal-like young girl was doing it so that she would get some. Not bdsm stuff, but his entire body instead, as well as his warmth and longing. But oh well, though she wanted it and didn't minded being roughed up bits every now and then, Yun Beishang had to limit himself to only act the rough part and not dive deep into it. Not yet, at least; nor in public.

"Well then, everyone, gather around and enter the raid." Nodding obediently to their Lord's words, everyone went up to stand beside one another with some of them holding their hands in a silly, unnecessary but still a cute way. Then, Yun Beishang himself nodded as he took out the vestige of the Righteous Celestial White Tiger. It was obviously still in a glowing state in the shape of a ball, but as Yun Beishang had the 'urge' of consume it, its glow very slowly dimmed until it revealed what it was.

A seemingly ordinary tooth from an ordinary tiger. Yun Beishang smirked silently at the sight, and after turning his head back up to look at them again, he consumed the item with his Evil Immortal class.

Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh...

The sounds of the movement of energy marching into Yun Beishang's virtual body resounded, and with the intrigued and shocked glances from the pair of eyes coming from dozens, the small fang of a normal tiger began to slowly transform into greenish-grey and bright white ashes  before entering his body. Slowly, Yun Beishang felt that similar pain again, and as he did so, the globes of a grey-platinum, bright-metallic color began to be ever so clearer than ever. At the same time, he felt that he now understood what the gloomy verdant and roots-like globes and the pitch-black, dark-like abyss with grey-metallic globes were meant for rather than just because of his ownership on Vicissitudes of Life and Void Jumping Star.

"Aggh..." After a little while, Yun Beishang finally received that well expected system prompt of endless benefits, as he did, the rest of The Order all levelled up to LV99 along with obviously Zyv and Cindy who weren't there before as well as Yona whose level went from LV95 to LV99.

Vyb was Diana, Fragile Broken Eyes, dear girlfriend whom she met back at the little tournament  for when the first update of Rising Essence hadn't even come to be. Spiritual Mommy ended up being Cyn who followed Natalia's trend and went for 'Mommy' since, indeed, they were both a pair of such. Though Cyn did had the milf proportions unlike Natalia, they both took care of the dumbasses of the Peaceful Rain Household alike. On the other hand, Cute Rawrr was the one and only; Xiao Ruo. She was a Berserker now and had a pair of specially made huge claw-gloves that if it wasn't for the system's features, it would be the sight of a 1.47 meters tall young girl carrying a pair of bigger than 2 meters large mecha-gloves with claws instead of fingers; changing their use from a punching weapon to a cutting weapon.

"Alright, well girls. I'm a bit tired, so I'll log off earlier today, okay?" Yun Beishang spoke towards everyone with his uncovered and tired face; mentally, of course. Everyone else nodded and Cindy gave him a small hug and hurriedly departed before she could get stamped on by the endless incoming beauties lunging at Yun Beishang for a hug, a kiss and a squeeze for a few. Zyv then took her turn to softly kiss, suck and bite before it was Natalia's turn, who was also the last one remaining from 'saying goodbye' to their master and man. Before she could arrive towards him, however, Yun Beishang twisted his waist to look at a certain tank-branch maid and said with his right finger pointed at her. "You come tonight, okay? Yao Yao don't put that face, you can always sleep in our bedroom. You know it."

At this time, a slightly blushing Natalia finally made her way towards her shameless and womanizing man and with a pouty expression, she complained. "Stop you... there's kids around, mou..."

Following her extremely dangerously narrowed eyes, Yun Beishang saw a happily jumping up and down Yao Yao as a blankly staring Xiao Ruo then reacted. Almost sobbingly, the younger girl asked the older young girl things like 'Big Sis Yao, why?!' and 'Why is everyone like this, uwaaah~.'.

"Oh, that..." Responded a guilty, guilty Yun Beishang whose hands skillfully traveled down to hold his Naty's waist and began massaging her body like to no end, effectively distracting one of the 'mommies' from berating him any longer. He looked at her with narrowed eyes and a weakly tone, "Am I crazy?"

"Why?" Responded with a question the unperturbed Natalia, who then felt her vision darken and her forehead tapped by Yun Beishang's head before he continued, "I never thought Rising Essence would've bring me to such unique and overextended 'story'. It's quite weird; but I find it pleasing and... real, even."

"No, no you're not crazy, my darling." Natalia softly caressed the sides of his face with the back of her slender, seemingly boneless fingers, her face turned a pink so inviting he could only avoid eating her up right now because of how dazed he had become in less than half an instant. "You're my Beishang, mwohh~, whatever my Beishang wants, thinks and is curious about; he will never be wrong. Mwoh💓."

Kissing his fingers, each of his fingertips, his knuckles, the back of his hands, the palms of his hands; as she worshiped her man entirely with the single touches of her lips against his skin from all over his uncovered hands and as the sounds of their connections were being emitted flawlessly while she maintained her eyes closed while kissing his hands and opened them back up to melt him with her gaze. A trembling hearted-Yun Beishang suddenly felt his entire world slow down to a perfect flow of time, comfortable and soothing.

At once, Yun Beishang woke up from his stupor and while smiling brilliantly tot he point he stole all maidenly hearts around him, he cupped the head of his loving Natalia before planting a meaty, slightly moist but long smooch on her mouth with his own.

"...Alright, I'll come back earlier. Take good care." After a long while, with her heart fluttering boundlessly, Natalia heard Yun Beishang speak. No longer dubious or just slightly baffled, the tone of his voice was the very same which made her fall completely for him back, back then. Nodding, she gave him a gentle look and response, "Mn."

The next morning of that day, a maid whose legs were strangely in movement each time she walked or even, in fact, moved them at all. Could be seen with an uncomfortable expression each time she moved any of her body parts, there was, however, an even stronger and richer expression of pure bliss on her face. Many maids were envious from her, and 'it', they were all dreaming of the very same happening to them, how wonderful would that be? Oh damn! Their Master even sent that girl on a free-day break and even swam around the pool with her, some even caught sight of the two of them mating in a few different places of the entire Villa. Envy, jealousy, hatred!

Nevertheless, after such a couple of 'free-days' for Yun Beishang, he came back into the game at the third. Diana was the one to appear just like that maid from before for the following days, which was even stranger considering how incredible her body and mentality is, Master is a monster!

When Yun Beishang came back into gaming, he spent another 5 days traveling from one part to another of the entire Azure Dragon Sub-Division, Zyv went back to help Naty and the rest to farm along the Order, earning herself hundreds of Honorary points while waiting her big brother wolfy's orders. On the other hand, Cindy was a bit down even weeks after Pure's ultimate death, erasure of existence even.

But after a little while of participating in conversations, silently and in a shy manner, with the rest of Yun Beishang's women and maids, she opened slightly more every day. Cyn and Sash were the 2 who most sought her out and made her smile shyly but brilliantly once more without the need of Yun Beishang appearing on her shiny black eyes.

As for how Yun Beishang spent his days; that was basically for the sake of discovering the utmost optimum use of the Gardener's Unusual Tool. As he went around, he started off by experimenting with LV0 bunnies that Zyv brought him the first day to a Novice Village. It was a random one as she still hand't found the one he wanted to find by her sense of smell, but it was enough for now as he only needed to experiment with it. Who knew, if he progressed to the next Advancement, maybe she would become enhanced, hence finding Yun Beishang's Novice Village before Tonkia gave birth.

The first day, Yun Beishang spent all of his day inside an empty Novice Village 'space' or terrain, however it could actually be called. By the next day, he went back to the Azure Dragon Sub-Division and resumed her hunting of mobs from LV11 to LV90 all around the entirety of the Sub-Division. Yes, all of it, not just within the Azure Dragon Sub-Division, but all of the ownerless territory that surrounded the Azure Dragon Sub-Division itself.

As for the results, coming from the Gardener's Unusual Tool? They were quite simple in fact. He could steal the souls from the already dead, but just then having died mobs and use them as either complementary ingredients or to raise up stats.The thing was that, one could only raise up their stats for each Race and each type of abnormal status. Like, only one stat could ever be gained from stealing the souls of 10 bunnies, giving someone DEX+1, but if there was a BOSS that he stole their 'soul' from in the future, he could instead help increase someone's stats in DEX+150 and LCK+150 or something like that. He experimented that on a few players while wearing some mediocre disguises and by paying them a few dozens of gold coins, pity for them as they lost a chance in the future when Yun Beishang opened his gates for anyone and placed those stolen souls 'beverages' in his Order's Association Shop.

On the other hand, Yun Beishang finally understood why there were such 'presences' that adhered themselves onto his body, right after killing the Sacred Beast Protectors or claiming their deaths for himself. And why... he couldn't reach 200% Core Elemental Resistance for any Core Element with his own efforts nor by simply killing the Sacred Beast Protectors.
