Reappearing inside the small stone room that acts as the entry point for the Dungeon, I move over to the single set of thick wooden doors blocking the way inside. As I approach, a textbox appears with the newly unlocked Dungeon type.
Please select the Dungeon Type:
Skeletons (Lvl. 1 - 20)
Zombies (Lvl. 20 - 50)

Zombies, huh? Why am I not surprised that it's going to be zombies?
I swear, I like zombies as much as the next guy, but it starts to get old after the fifteenth zombie apocalypse movie or show comes out in less than two years.
Selecting the new Dungeon type, the wood doors immediately begin to creak open. For the longest time, the only thing I've seen on the other side of these doors has been a dead forest with a dirt path leading through the middle of it. But now, instead of a forest, it's a burning city that lies in ruins.
It looks like something right out of a horror movie, with blood stains all over the streets and walls, and massive buildings on either side of the streets with shattered windows showing destroyed offices and crumbling interiors. It's all so lifelike, that the intense heat coming from the flames is actually starting to make me sweat a little bit underneath my kimono.
"[Summon: Servant]! [Summon: Spirit]!" I call out, summoning the rest of my Servants and 10 of my Spirits. At this point, I can summon up to 125 Spirits; which is a ridiculous number, and yet it's still not always enough to keep track of what's going on within Kuoh. But the small amount I've summoned should be enough to scout out the Dungeon while I arm the rest of my Servants.
Without a sound, the 10 Spirits quickly disappear as they race off to map out the layout for this Dungeon while I focus on my growing army. There's a total of 25 Servants now who are all Level 28, another 5 Oni who are level 20, and 5 Komainu who are also Level 20.
A good start, and hopefully enough to deal with whatever is in this place.
I'm sure you'll do great!
Here, this should help things along! :)
Quest Received:
[Zombie Slayer]
Objective: Clear the Zombie Dungeon.
Reward: [?]
That's more like it, 'Thanks, Gaia!'
"[Sacred Gear: Blade Blacksmith]!" Summoning 25 Holy Swords for my Servants, I reach into my inventory to grab my own sword as they all get into formation of five rows of five behind the Oni and Komainu who stand as the vanguard. '[Observe].'
[Iron Blade] - (Enchanted: Light)
My trusty [Iron Blade], I've kept this thing since the very first time Gaia gave it to me, and it's worked out perfectly so far. The Light enchantment on it should be enough to deal with any of the undead in this place, but I'll still need to be careful and watch out for anything new that might be in here.
Making my way to the front line of the Servants with my Oni and Komainu protecting me, I wait for Ichi and Ni to move over and stand right behind each shoulder as my 'lieutenants'.
Once we're all in place, I connect my sight with my Spirits, seeing the new Dungeon for the first time through their eyes as they race around.
It seems like this Dungeon is less of a straight line like the last one, and more of a grid layout with packs of Zombies around every corner that are actually moving throughout the streets. A change from the lifeless Skeletons that would just stand there waiting for us to come to them. There's well over a dozen Zombies in each group, and the fact that their movements cause multiple groups to come within feet of each other as they pass is worrying.
It means I'll need to clear out a group fast before we can end up getting ambushed by another group of Zombie, which could quickly overwhelm us in seconds considering just how many Zombie groups there are.
"Ichi…Ni," I speak up, drawing their attention as I continue to look through my Spirits' eyes, "Be on the lookout for any Zombie groups that could ambush us. There are several dozens of them in this Dungeon, and their movements tend to overlap and intersect at various locations to create perfect ambushing opportunities on us. We cannot be caught off-guard in the middle of a battle, so I'm trusting you both to watch our backs."
"Of course, Master." "As you wish, Master." They reply, their masked faces turning to scan the streets while I call out to the Oni.
"Juuichi (Eleven)!" At my call, the Oni in the middle of the group of five turns to face me. '[Observe].'
Juuichi (Guardian) - Level 20
This is one of two Oni that I was able to use [Promotion] on. And yes, I know her name isn't exactly original, but after doing the math on just how many Guardians I can eventually make, I realized that I was going to have 10 Guardians for every Summon-type. Which is a shit ton of names to come up with and remember.
That's why, since my Guardian Servants are already going to be 1-10, my Guardian Oni will be 11-20. And to keep it just as simple to remember, all of the female Guardians will be odd numbered, while the males will be even numbered. It's dumb, but practical. Besides, it's not like they hate their names. Both Ichi and Ni agreed with my decision, and Juuichi actually praised me for her new name since it suits a simple woman like herself.
And thus, Juuichi became the first Guardian Oni, followed by one of the male Oni becoming a Guardian and taking on the name Juuni.
Juuichi is quite the woman too; just as massive and barbarian-like as the other Oni, but her long black hair with gold tips is wilder and more untamed than the straight hair of the female Servants. And her sleeveless all-black suit has gold accents like the other Guardian Servants have.
The red Oni mask on her face has shrunk to cover around her eyes and nose as well, revealing her handsome features that differentiate the Oni's looks from the more delicate ones of the Servants; with slightly larger canine teeth that add to her feral appearance.
Probably the most notable change to her after using [Promotion], is the tattoos on her muscular arms becoming red instead of the black that the other Oni have. The color standing out quite noticeably, and nicely, against her pale skin tone.
"Yeah, Master?" Came her husky, gruff response. The wild black hair with gold tips looking more like a lion's mane the way it frames her face as she stares down at me from her much-larger height.
While the Servants were more articulate and spoke in more normal tones, the Oni were rather ineloquent and gruff in the way they spoke. "Ya ready to do this? I could always just take the lead with Growl here and clear this whole place out for ya." She says, motioning to the lion-dog she had been paired with.
'[Observe].'
Growl (Guardian) - Level 20
Growl was actually the name that Juuichi had chosen for her Komainu, who I had used [Promotion] on as well to make things simple. It hadn't changed the lion-dog much besides turning its fur red, but that didn't really matter when the two of them were strong enough to take on most problems with just their fists and fangs.
"As much as I'd love to see you and Growl tear through this place, I think we should take this a little more slowly until we have an idea of what this Dungeon has to throw at us." I reply, chuckling as her massive shoulders slump and she pouts with surprisingly plump lips. "I know you don't like it Juuichi, but I just don't want to see you getting hurt."
Reluctantly, she nods her head before smiling at me, her small fangs noticeable from the small distance between us. "Aww, you're all heart Master."
"Yeah, yeah." I wave her comment off, getting a rumbling chuckle from her and Growl, who can't speak beyond barks but can understand what we're saying. "Now then, let's get this Dungeon cleared out. We've got to do this several more times tonight, and I'd at least like to get a little bit of sleep."
"As you wish." Juuichi nods, turning away from me to call out to the other Oni and Komainu, "Right you lot! You heard what Master said; we've got a lot of work to do, and not a lot of time to do it. So let's get a move on!"
As one, my small army of summons moves out into the streets, everyone's eyes glancing at the broken and burning buildings as we slowly make our way towards the first group of Zombies that my Spirits had scouted out earlier. The sound of our feet is like a dull rumble in the eerie silence, the only other noise in this place is the crackling of the fires burning around us.
It's not long after we make it to the first intersection that I catch a glimpse of the first group of Zombies. '[Observe].'
Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20
Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20
Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20
Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20 | Zombie - Level 20
So, it's a pack of twelve? That's nothing compared to the number of summons I've got with me. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it would be?
"SKREEEEEECH!"
Uh-oh!
That's not good!
Aaaaand I just had to jinx it. The sound of our footsteps alerted the Zombies earlier than I expected, and as one they all turn to face us with half-decayed faces and drooling, bloody mouths. In seconds, the Zombies start moving towards us; and unlike typical undead that walk in slow, shuffling steps; these ones sprint at us in full charge like the zombies I once saw in the movie World War Z.
It's actually pretty terrifying to see a dozen Zombies sprinting towards you. But luckily for me, my Oni and Komainu aren't nearly as terrified as I am.
"Come on ya little nasties!" Juuichi roars out from the middle of the Oni as they and the Komainu step forward to meet the charging enemies head-on. "Let's see what ya got!" As the Zombies get closer, Juuichi's red tattoos start to glow a beautiful scarlet color before she punches the leader of the zombie pack in the face, the tattoos flaring as her fist makes contact.
BOOM!
Like an explosion just went off, her punch obliterated the lead Zombie in an instant as the shockwave from the hit caused the other Zombies to faulter, allowing the other Oni to join in with their own black tattoos -and one red belonging to the other Guardian Oni, Juuni- glowing as their fists connect with the stunned enemies.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The first five Zombies are obliterated in an instant, signaling the Komainu to join the fight as they roar before leaping into the fray, their fangs and claws tearing into the rotten flesh as the fight quickly becomes a one-sided massacre.
[Zombie] (x5) defeated.
For a brief, fleeting moment, I thought this Dungeon was going to be easy until…
"SKREEEEEECH!"
Incoming!
I was about to scold Ichi and Ni for allowing another Zombie pack to ambush us like I warned them they might, when I realized with growing dread that the sound hadn't come from behind us…it had come from above us.
Wide-eyed, I glance up to the top of the buildings that framed either side of the street, where the heads of dozens more Zombies poked out over the rooflines. As my heart sinks into my stomach, I realize another weakness about my Spirits that hasn't been a problem until now…
My Spirits can't fly.
They had been able to give me a clear idea of all the Zombies on the ground; but because they can't fly, they hadn't noticed any of the ones above us. And now that weakness is coming back to bite me in the ass as I watch the Zombies start jumping off the rooftops, raining down in a horrific display as they snarl and screech the whole way down.
"ABOVE US!" I shout, drawing the attention of my Servants who quickly raise their Holy Swords as they watch the Zombies falling down from the rooftops. "GET READY!"
Lifting my own enchanted [Iron Sword] in preparation, it's mere seconds later that the first group of falling Zombies reaches us. Swinging my sword in an arc, the Light properties of my blade allow it to cut through the Zombie's body easily as I split it's body in two, each half falling to the ground on either side of me.
[Zombie] defeated.
There was no time to celebrate my kill as more and more Zombies fell. For a second, I thought about just letting them fall and expecting the collision with the ground to kill them. Until one of the few that weren't stopped by my Servants landed on the ground, before getting back up like it was nothing. 'That's bullshit.'
I thought for sure my Servants were done for since they were too busy focusing on the falling Zombies to deal with the ones landing on the ground, before the massive red-furred body of Growl barreled into the Zombie I watched survive the fall earlier. In-between killing the Zombies falling towards me, I watch as the other Oni and Komainu finish off the first Zombie pack and race to take out the ones that weren't killed by my Servants.
Together, we're able to hold out long enough to finish off the remaining Zombies, allowing us a moment to rest as I take in the aftermath of the battle.
Unlike the Skeletons who dropped [Rusted Swords], the Zombies leave behind…money?...as their bodies fade away. "Ni, gather some of the Servants and start collecting the money that's on the ground. We'll be needing all of it." I order, getting a nod as Ni points to several of the Servants before they start picking up the money on the ground.
At least now I have some money to buy more clothes and furniture with. I'm not exactly sure if this is how I want to make my income going forward, but it should tide me over until something more profitable comes up.

Only 15% for all of that? Yikes, that's not great. But this is also the first group of Zombies, and there are at least a dozen more in this Dungeon alone, so that should be enough to get me another few levels before I call it a night.
How about my skills?

[Sacred Gear: Blade Blacksmith] (Common) - Lvl. 42 (Apprentice)
My Servants haven't gone up a level yet, but they're also 8 levels above the Zombies, so that isn't a total surprise. At least my Oni and Komainu got a level out of that, and so did my [Blade Blacksmith].
Not bad for a heart-pounding fight like this one was.
I still can't believe I hadn't noticed that flaw in my Spirits! If there's one thing I really don't like about this Universe and my choice in Class, it's that everyone else can apparently fly while I'm stuck here on the ground.
If only there was a way to get my Spirits to fly, it would make this whole Dungeon a lot easier since I wouldn't have to worry about surprise ambushes from the rooftops. Maybe I could try having one of my Oni throw a Servant up to the rooftops? No, that's ridiculous…
…maybe one of the Spirits could be thrown?
Before I could continue trying to figure this out, one of the deer Spirits comes walking over to me before stopping directly in front of my eyes, drawing my attention as I notice the larger antlers and more solid body this one has. '[Observe].'
Spirit (Guardian) - Level 0
Once it noticed that I was paying attention, the Guardian Spirit jumped off the ground before it started floating in midair.
'What the fuck?' Since when could it do that?
Oooooh…I think I found out just what makes Guardian Spirits different from regular Spirits…
I'm an idiot.
I never tried to find out what made the Guardian Spirit unique when I first used [Promotion] on it, just sending it off to scout Kuoh with the others before saying that I'd figure it out later. Except I never did.
Dummy.
Better late than never, though!
'I guess so…'
Connecting my sight with its, I mentally command the Guardian Spirit to fly above the buildings. Within seconds, I have a clear view of my small army in the middle of the street, and the packs of Zombies lying in wait on the rooftops nearby. 'Now we're talking.'
- Later -
[Zombie] (x7) killed.
And with that, the last of the Zombie Dungeon is cleared.
Woohoo!
'Yes…woohoo.' Honestly, I'm too exhausted right now to cheer. The number of Zombies in this Dungeon was ridiculous, and even with the knowledge of where and when the Zombies would fall from the rooftops, it had still taken us over an hour to clear it out. But it wasn't for nothing, because my summons and I definitely made some progress.

[Excalibur Ruler] - (Legendary)
"One of Seven fragments of the legendary blade: Excalibur."
Enables - Mental Subjugation
Increased damage to Devils and Undead.
"Holy shit!"
- Occult Research Clubhouse -
-Rias Gremory -
Inside the dark interior of the ORC, Rias paced furiously around the room as Sona watched her from her spot on the couch, sipping on a cup of tea while her Queen stood next to Akeno.
"I can't believe my father would do this!" Rias screamed, a hateful glare on her face as her blue eyes stared off into the corner of the room like it had personally offended her. A visible outline of black energy, the infamous Power of Destruction, coated her clenched fists for moment before Akeno moved over to lay a calming hand on her King's shoulder.
As Akeno helped Rias calm down, Sona spoke up. "How soon have they pushed the engagement up?"
"Next week." Rias sighed, moving over to sit on the couch opposite Sona's. "I was supposed to have until after I graduated college before the engagement would happen, and now they've moved it up five years!"
Rias had no idea what she was going to do. She was supposed to have more time to figure things out before the date of her engagement, but her father apparently didn't want that to happen.
In accordance with Devil society traditions, the engaged were allowed to set their own requirements for a potential suitor, to ensure that whoever they marry was worthy. For instance, her friend and fellow King Sona had chosen a game of chess to determine her suitor.
Anyone who wanted to enter into an engagement with Sona had to beat her at chess, something that was considered next to impossible with how great of a chess player she was. It's how Sona was able to get out of her own arranged marriage without getting into trouble with her family or the 72 Pillars.
But Rias wasn't like Sona. She wasn't a master of a particular sport or game like chess to set as her requirement. The only thing she could choose was a Rating Game; but that required a larger, stronger Peerage than she currently had. And her 'fiancée' was currently undefeated with a record of 7 Rating Game wins thanks to his family's regeneration.
"I can't believe my father would do this!" She vented, shocked and appalled at what her father was doing.
And she knew exactly what her father was trying to do. He wanted the engagement to go through bad enough that he was all but making it impossible for her to get together a peerage strong enough to stand a chance against her fiancée's.
It broke her heart to think that he cared more about status than he did about his own daughter's happiness.
At least her mother was on her side. Her beautiful, kind mother was doing all she could to help, but as the Lady of their House her mother's power was less than her father's and could be overruled easily by him.
"Do you have any alternatives?" Sona asked, placing her empty cup on the table between the two couches. "Could your brother not interfere?"
"You know he can't. The moment he did the 72 Pillars would strip him of his status as Satan, and that would just play into my father's hands. He's never wanted a woman to lead House Gremory; and after my brother renounced our House's name to take up the title of Satan, he has been looking for any alternative he can find to not have me assume control." She replied.
Truly, her father was an asshole to rival even her fiancée with how badly he thought about her -or any woman- taking over their House.
Leaning back to rest her crimson-red hair against the couch, Rias sighed. "And now my freedom rests in the hopes of reincarnating Hyoudou and Sakai."
At her words, Akeno, Tsubaki, and even Sona grimaced at how slim her chances were.
Privately, they all agreed that her best chance lied with Sora Sakai who was already becoming quite powerful compared to the unusually weak magic they detected in Issei Hyoudou. The possibility that Hyoudou might have a powerful Sacred Gear was the only reason he was even an option.
Now Rias just had to hold out hope that her plans went smoothly, and that soon she'd be welcoming two new members to her Peerage.
- Sakai Compound -
-Sora Sakai -
Finding one of the Excalibur Fragments inside the chest was a godsend. The overwhelming Light properties of the sword made it vastly easier to deal with the Zombies as the glowing golden aura around the blade practically disintegrated each Zombie on contact. While I hadn't tried out the Mental Subjugation ability of the sword, the Gamer System had downloaded into my brain exactly what I had to do to use it, saving me a lot of time testing it out.
And as I finally call out to end the Dungeon grinding for the evening, I ponder if it's worth it to gather the other fragments of Excalibur. "[Dungeon: Close]!" As I and my summons reappear in the courtyard of my growing compound, I dispel a good portion of the Servants since there's no real need for all of them right now.
It would give me a reason to get the Angels to speak with me, if for no other reason than to make sure they weren't going to try sending some exorcists to take it from me. And opening dialogue with the most trustworthy of the Biblical Factions would be a great way to get into the supernatural world.
That is, if I can figure out some way to speak with them.
But I can think about that later. Right now I'm more worried about my 'date' tomorrow with Raynare.

That was the best I could do in the Zombie Dungeon before I had to stop for the night. My body is so sore after fighting the waves of Zombies that I'm more likely to hurt myself if I go back in there again tonight.

Yes, I did get some levels on my [Hand-to-Hand] skill. Was it the best idea to try using my fists against Zombies? Not really. But the speed at which they moved gave me some minor experience in facing fast opponents.
With every level I get, my body is adapting to become stronger, faster, and more durable than it was before. When I was originally fighting Skeletons, my arms shook from the impact of their [Rusted Swords] against my own blade. Now, I'm able to punch a Zombie in the face and not feel as if I'm going to break my hands.
I also picked up a few other interesting things besides Excalibur Ruler while I was in there.
Items Received:
[Gamers Phone] - (System Item)
"An unhackable cellphone with unlimited call, text, and internet from anywhere in the Universe."
[Affection Dice] - (System Item)
"A 10-sided red die that grants Affection equal to the number rolled for one person."
Skill Unlocked:
[Oni: Touki] (Active) - Lvl. MAX
Temporarily increases your Offense, Defense, and Speed tremendously.
Allows you to counter magical attacks by punching or striking them.
The phone is something I hadn't even realized I was missing until I had it in my hand. The small black device looking like an iPhone from my previous life, and the fact that I didn't have to worry about it being hacked by the countless agencies and organizations in this Universe is a huge relief. The last thing I need is for someone to start tapping into my phone calls without me being able to do anything about it.
As for the dice; that was a surprise. I thought my only option for gaining Affection and Obedience was through my actions and perks, but to have a way to do it by rolling a dice was potentially big.
Though, it looks to be a one-time-use item, which means I'll need to carefully choose which person I want to increase their Affection. I think I'm going to hold off on using it for now seeing as there's no one I have in my list of Relationships who I feel needs to have a boost, and far too many people I haven't interacted with yet to waste it so early.
But the last thing I got from the Zombie Dungeon certainly piqued my interest.
The skill itself was actually the same ability my Oni use to increase their abilities. And just like them, I found my arms and upper chest covered in a golden tattoo of a serpentine dragon that wrapped itself around my upper body.
And when I say gold, I don't mean a typical tattoo like the ones you get in tattoo parlors either, where they immediately start to fade and look like blurry lines over time. This tattoo looks like actual gold with how solid the lines are and by the way it gleams in the light. The color wouldn't have been my first choice, but it matched the gold theme I had going on with my mask and magic circles, so it's fine.
"Master, ya need us to do anything else? Or shall I send the others back to their guard posts?" Juuichi calls out, her husky voice pulling me from my thoughts as she waves a large hand towards the Oni and Komainu still standing in the courtyard.
"That'll be it for tonight, Juuichi." I reply, glancing at the slightly larger group. There are now an additional Oni and Komainu in the group who I already had used [Promotion] on, adding a second female Guardian Oni and another red-furred Guardian Komainu to the list of summons I can now call upon.
I've discovered that when a Guardian summon is destroyed in combat, they're resummoned with their personality and memories intact from before. Which is a relief, since it means all of my plans and ideas that I've shared with the Guardians aren't forgotten, and the conversations and connections I'm making with them aren't going to waste.
Watching as the massive woman sends the other Oni and Komainu to guard the grounds while Ichi, Ni, and their new sister San begin ordering the Servants into the house, I smile at how useful they all are.
Thanks to their change in appearances as Guardians, Ni has been able to go into town with my [Gamers Credit Card] and pick up groceries for me without drawing much attention to himself. The suits they all wear work perfectly for blending in, and the small masks covering my Guardians' faces is easily explained away as cosplaying without people giving more than a glance in their direction.
If there's one thing about being in Japan that's worked to my advantage above all others, it's that cosplayers and people dressed up unusually aren't uncommon. Unfortunately, the regular Servants are much harder to have go into town. The featureless masks are harder to explain considering there's no eyeholes for them to see out of, and with my Servants inability to speak, there'd be no way for them to respond to anyone's questions.
As Juuichi turns to give me a thumbs up after sending the others away, I chuckle at her wide grin as my eyes are drawn to her wild and untamed black hair as it catches the light of the torches around the courtyard, and the massive boulders sitting on her chest, bouncing underneath her sleeveless black and gold suit. 'Do I dare?'
Seeing Ichi disappear into the second building that will eventually become my office/conference room alongside Ni and San, on doubt to go over the roles of the new Guardian Servant and Oni, I smile back at Juuichi before calling out to her. "Juuichi?"
"Yeah?" She replies, staring at me curiously.
Noticeably roaming my eyes over her curves, she seems to catch on to where my thoughts are going by her lustful smirk as I offer, "I'm thinking of taking a shower and cleaning off all this dirt and sweat. Care to join me?" The feral grin she gives me sends a pleasant shiver down my spine. 'Fuck it. Who dares, wins.'
If there was anything that could take my mind off tomorrow and the clusterfuck that would undoubtably follow, it was having sex with a woman bigger and stronger than you, who could easily crush you with her strength, but instead willing bent over and let her rail her tight pussy.
"Fuck y-yeah, harder Master!" Juuichi moans out, her voice hitching every time my dick rubbed against a particular spot. Her larger body bent over with her hands against the shower wall, rocking in time with my thrusts as the sound of my hips colliding with her large ass is drowned out by the shower's spray. "Tha-at's it, right th-ere!"
There's something erotic about fucking a woman who was not only taller than you, but also larger and stronger. It was almost comical the difference in our sizes as even with her bent over, Juuichi still has to bend her knees slightly in order for me to reach her horny slit.
Watching as the water trailed down her muscular, but still very feminine body, I pick up the pace as I thrust into her faster and harder. The Amazon beauty taking my harder thrusts easily as she pushes back with her hips, forcing me to keep a tighter grip on her waist as we reach our peaks.
Groaning as I feel her walls tighten, there's nothing I can to stop from cumming as her pussy convulses in a powerful orgasm.
We both moan out loudly as I fill her womb, before pulling out as she quickly spins around and gets on her knees, taking the last spurts of sticky white cum on her massive breasts and face.
Leveled Up - Passive:
[Sexual Experience] (Passive) - Lvl. 9 (Novice)
"Thanks for that, Juuichi. I definitely needed it." I pant out, drawing a pleased grin from the Amazon as she gets up on her feet, her hands collecting my seed before bringing them up to her mouth before a pink tongue licks it off with a satisfied hum.
"No problem, Master. Any time ya want ta bend me over and fuck me, just say so." Juuichi replies, cleaning her body under the shower's spray before we dry off and walk into the bedroom. "Ya want to go another round, or should we call it quits?"
As if I was going to turn down an offer like that.
"Oh, we're definitely going again. Only this time I want you on your back, legs spread so I can see your beautiful face when I make you cum." I order, getting a loud, pleased laugh from her as she moves to do what I say. Watching her body fall backwards onto the bed, lying there with her legs spread and arms out, I grin as I practically have to climb up her body.
As soon as I line up my tip with her folds, I sink into her quickly, groaning as her arms and legs wrap around my body before I start to move.
"Oh fuck, Master. There's really nothing better than an afternoon of fighting, followed by an evening of fucking." Juuichi moans, her muscular limbs keeping me pinned against her body and refusing to let me pull out as her walls try to coax another load. Even when having sex, it's almost like a fight with her to see which one of us can get the other to cum first.
Eventually, I have to resort to cheating as I get close, my hand sneaking down to rub her erect clit as I focus on hitting the spots inside her that cause the most reactions.
"Th-ThAAaat's che-eating!" She replies shakily, pulling my body down until my face is smothered in her massive breasts, "Le-Let's seEEE how yoUUuu like it!"
It doesn't take long after that for us to cum. And as I fill her with another load, her limbs finally release me as her whole body slumps, allowing me to take a breath of fresh air as I'm freed from her cleavage.
We both groan as I finally soften inside her before slipping out, letting a trail of white cum drip out of her freshly-fucked pussy.

Too exhausted to move, I end up falling asleep on top of her larger body, using her massive soft breasts as pillows as she too falls asleep underneath me. Her wild, messy black hair fanned out around the pillows as her eye's slowly drift shut beneath her red mask. "Good night, Master."
"Good night Juuichi," I whisper, feeling my eyes slowly start to drift shut as Juuichi's heartbeat and warm body slowly lulls me to sleep. 'And Good Night to you too, Gaia.'
Night!
Tomorrow's going to be a big day!
Yes, it most certainly is. I just hope that my preparations are enough to keep me alive, I really don't want to die again. Not after I'm finally starting to have some fun.

Author Notes:
And that's Chapter 8!
A little fighting, a little lemon, and now we're on to Sora's introduction into the supernatural world of the Highschool DxD Universe.
Don't worry, he won't be reincarnated into a Peerage. I have another idea, and I think it's one that hasn't really been explored by other authors, so we'll see how it turns out.
And yes, I added Affection Dice after I said I'd not be adding any Heart Crystals or Skill Shards. I kept getting requests to add something back in, and these new Dice will be a lot less common than the others were in my previous story attempt, so there will never be more than maybe 2 or 3 of them at a time. Plus, the randomness makes it less overpowered than just the straight +5 or +10 Heart Crystals.
Hope you all are still liking it so far! Thanks for checking out my story.
