" Wait what do you mean about husband," I ask Io as she's pinning me against the simple bed in the shack, after I gave her some fish I found trapped in a worn net, thankfully they were still good. Her weight sitting on my chest as her clawed feet are beside my head.
" You husband, husband beat me, husband healed me, husband took my nest, husband fed me. Harpy law you husband," says Io giddy before looking at me with her head cocked to the side.
" You no want me wife? Me good wife, me bring food for us. You devour wife's nectar, husband give seed. Chicks be born no?" Says Io as I blush. The memories of this past body confirms I'm still a virgin. Well if course I couldn't compare it to any other past lives since I can't remember them.
" Io won't be jealous of other wives joining. Happy harpies share. Io won't mind," says Io rubbing her bottom on my chest leaving a wet sticky mark on my chest as my hoodie and undershirt rode up. The stuff feels like sap and has a musk to it but the skin it is in contact with feels more sensitive. Fuck she marked me with out me realizing. Soon she slumps on top of me and I hear her softly snoring while rubbing against me. I sigh and close my eyes to get some sleep.

" This is a quest for the achievement system and conquering/ kingdom system. With you surviving to your second day the quest portion of the system opened up. Notice that it has this symbol (M) after the title meaning it's a mandatory quest and can't be deleted. If it had this symbol (O) it would be an optional quest and could have been rejected."
Ok that seems fair. It would do well to have a better roof over our heads especially when the colder days come. Then again Io is almost like a space heater in terms of body heat.
" That's because she's a momon or monster girl. They are always warmer than humans even the cold blooded based momon. It's actually a tactic that draws makes to mate with them because of them never feeling cold feet in the night."
I sigh and look around the shack taking notes of everything I'd have to get to repair the shack.

First aid kit
I'm full on my inventory so I take out the first aid kit and the four relics sitting them off in a corner. Turning I look at Io and point at her saying," don't touch." She nods her head and follows me outside. She immediately takes off flying over the water and circles around in the air. She stops and says, " Io hunt tasty fish. Husband reward Io. Tasty fish tasty meal."
I smile still not truly sure about the whole husband deal but I will admit she's cute and deadly sort of way. Her talons are literally wicked sharp and about 5~8 inches long and serrated, I'm lucky that I have Aura unlocked. I shudder thinking of shredded meat if I didn't have that power. Walking towards some drift wood that floated to shore last night and I start hacking at the tree with the primitive stone pick and I start collecting the thatch and wood. After several whacks the drift wood breaks down, and rock piles and I check my inventory.

I nod and continue going through several more drift wood logs when I stop and look around feeling like I'm being watched, and it's not from Io whose just sitting on the roof of the shack with several good sized fish. I look off into the thick wood and brush slowly reaching for crocera mors. Putting up the primitive stone ax I slowly draw the sword. Unsheathing it fully I slowly walk backwards to the shack and I hear it.
Deep grunts and bellows along with the sound of teeth nashing. Next thing I know a large bear like creature comes bursting out of the woods towards me. Large, about the size of a grizzly bear, but it's not truly a bear. A large canine like head with vicious sharp teeth. I dodge to the right as the creature rushes past me and skids in the loose rocks on the shoreline.
Notice new bestiary has been added.
Name: bear beast ( short faced bear)
Description: a large grizzly shaped bear that features a canine style head. Deep reddish brown fur that's patched and marred by scars. It's also identified by their odor of rotting eggs and red glowing eyes. Their usual prey are regular species of bears and will go after humans.
Threat level: B+
Rewards: ???
I grab my sword as the bear beast slowly circles around me before it can strike Io comes in scraping her talons across its back before taking off our of its reach. I rush in and stab the sword into the beast and blocking the swipe with my shield I deployed. My shield arm buckles slightly as Io comes back shredding chunks of flesh from the bear beast. As it roars in pain I bring the sword straight up through the neck of the beast. The sword takes a chunk out of the neck as Io launches herself on its back driving it into the blade severing its head completely. The bear beast falls down dead as Io looks at it and hisses before looking at me and circles me moving my arms and sniffing me. " Husband okay, good means husband strong. "
I look at her and I sheathe my sword before rubbing her head and saying," my wifes strong as well. I'm glad for the help Io."
She makes happy chirping noises and rubs her head into my palm as I look at the beast and touch its dead body with my other hand. It gets sent to my inventory stalling it's decomposition. Io looks at me cocking her head before taking off and sitting on the roof again with her fish and she begins preening her feathers. I walk up to the shack and I start fixing the shack.

Sighing I slightly jump when Io drops off the roof and is holding several fish in one claw. I grab them from her offered claws and I start lunch for us. Filleting the fish and placing the carcasses and guts in a makeshift basket and sitting it outside for later use. Slicing the fish and starting to cook them in the wood stove. As we wait I sit down on the simple bed and Io sits in my lap. I smile getting used to the fact that she is clingy. Stroking her hair and her wings she cuddles to me and I look at the quest I received and notice something new.

As I check the quest I hear softly chirping from Io and she rubs her bottom on my lap before slightly moaning in the chirps. She moves her head back and her face flushes and I take a small chance and give her a kiss while I also hook my thumb in her mouth. She looks at me as her tongue runs along my thumb and sucks on it. I remove my thumb and kiss her again causing her to chirp excitedly and rubbing against me more. Soon the lunch is finished and we start eating before we continue the day of gathering fish and more resources. As the day slowly slips into night I hear the forest become active as I finish repairing the house completing the first part of the quest and depleting every single resource I collected except for the wood that I placed beside the wood stove. Io cuddles up to me as we stave off the cold night.

I sigh just done for the day but Io wasn't, especially if her softly chirps and rubbing was any indication.
