Sekai pulls the frozen elf girl on a cart as he huffs, complaining about the weight. "I'm sure killing her would end this quest, but I can't seem to do it. This is so much easier in games!"
Skei lugs the dark elf to the King. He is impressed. "Well, I'll be. You already returned from the northern caverns?"
"This girl was in control of the golem that antagonized your people. That's all I have to report." Sekai admitted. The guard pulled out his spear, blocking Sekai. "Hey! On your knees in front of the Majesty!"
"It's ok, be at ease." The King dismissed the guard. "Sorry but you completed this quest suspiciously fast. Have you any proof to these claims?"
"Of course." Sekai said, planning this whole scenario. "My proof is Will, your son. Prince of Belltree. I saved his life," The king was taken aback hearing Sekai say his name. "What, really?" "Of course. Will can confirm it once he gets here.
Alicia looked at Sekai. "You saved my brother? Is he hurt?" "No, he's healed up now. Should be here in a day." King mused on his thoughts. "It is true I sent him on a quest to the northern caverns, but for a punk to know..." He stopped. "No, for you to know of this matter can only mean you're telling the truth."
"Hero Sekai." The king's voice boomed. "Your conquest of the northern caverns has been accomplished. Your deeds will not go unrewarded." Sekai expected the timer wouldn't reset. Yeah, nothing happened. I thought so. He thought as timer ticked down.
"You sure got me, Your Majesty." Sekai's voice rose. "You deliberately sent me to help your son through a perilous trial." He sighs. "Since I haven't cleared this stage, that means neither the golem or this dark elf was the boss." He continued. "Besides the monsters were way too hard for any first quest." King looked puzzled. "Where are you going with this?"
"I want a real quest. Please." Sekai bowed his head. "there's gotta be a real quest, right? Not something super hard that even the prince couldn't handle. a mundane quest." The king thought for a bit. "Well, there is such a quest, but it's so boring, I doubt anyone of your power would want such a quest." "I'll take it." Sekai said.
"Hero Sekai, Goblins Have claimed the western ruins as their home. I order you to exterminate them." "Understood." As Sekai rose, from the bowing position, Alicia sauntered to him. "Hero, Sekai." She grasped his hands gently. "Thanks for saving my brother."
Gosh Alicia's so pretty. Omg I have to look. Sekai stopped time, lifted Alicia's skirt and dropped down her panties revealing her vagina. Damn, nice. I doubt I'd ever get to see this if I didn't have this time ability.
Sekai reminded himself he needs to find a way to get rid of this annoying timer. "Bye your Majesty, it's been fun." Sekai stopped, looking at the dark elf. "By the way, what's going to happen to her?
"Well execution obviously." "So, you mean, she'll have to fight some kind of monster?" "Well, that's the plan." King replied smugly. Sekai thought about it. "How about you let me own her? Surely with my power I can keep her at bay." King immediately agreed as Sekai took her out of the city.
Sekai heard her muffled groans wanting to talk. "If I let you talk, you won't cast any weird spells?" She nods. "Really?" she nods again. "Really, really?" She groans in frustration, muffled, giving him the side eye stare. "Ok, ok, Not like it matters; I can stop you at any time." Sekai takes out the gag letting her talk.
"Who are you? What do you plan to do to me now that you think you own me?" "Nothing special. I had to make you my own, so you wouldn't die. Here, I'll untie you." He unties the straps around her wrists. "I'd feel bad having you killed."
"You know, this means nothing. I will not look up to you as my master. I definitely won't thank you. If not for you, I'd be living safely in that cavern." "Ok I understand. Your point?" "You may free me." She simply said. "No, that I cannot do. I wanted to ask you for subjugation help." Sekai said.
"Subjugation?" She asked, puzzled. "I heard from Ninya, Dalk elves have long life spans." Sekai's eyes look down to her cleavage popping out of her shirt. "Don't tell me, you live longer than what it seems?"
Seki paused time again. He just couldn't resist the temptation. I mean, guys what would you do, if you had the power to stop time and had two nice big pairs of melons in YOUR face?
He resumed time. "Huh how dare an idiot ask a woman her age!" She felt a weird sensation. "I feel a faint rustle of my clothes. You did something again, huh, pervert?"
Dang that intuition of hers is just too sharp! Suddenly Sekai saw Ninya. "No way the Northern caverns are almost a day away. Where's Will and his party?" He asked. "Oh, I left them. They are too slow." No maybe as a thief job, you're just too fast. That makes more sense. "Sekai what are you doing next?"
"What indeed. I'm going to exterminate some goblins." "Wait what? They sent a powerful person able to instantly kill a sandworm after some pesky goblins? Aren't you like a national hero?" "Oh, you're quite sharp, Ninya. Well, there's circumstances for this." Ninya smirked "Whatever I'll guide you."
"Well before you do," He pulled a pouch of money out. "Since I got rewarded by the King for this last quest, I should return the money I borrowed." "Whatever isn't it fine to keep it?" Yeah, that's exactly something a thief would say! Just before Sekai could leave, he heard someone yell "HOLD IT!"
Sekai turned around seeing three girls. One in full ironclad armor. "My name is Clau Belltree," She stated. "It seems Will Belltree was in your care!" Sekai looked puzzled. Who is she? It seems Ninya read his mind in some way. "She is a princess of the royal Belltree." So, she's a Princess, too. That means Alicia and Will are her siblings.
"I hear you of all people defeated the sandworm. THAT sandworm? While I was busy exterminating bandits at the riverbank? Unbelievable." "So what? Ask your father for details." Sekai turned to walk away. One of her allies yelled, "You're being rude!" "What, who's the rude one? Jeez we can't get along huh?" He looked back at Clau, wearing tight metal armor that looked a hassle to remove. Man, I can't even see up his skirt, the armor is in the way. And it looks like a hassle to remove. Besides I'm in a hurry, only a day left for my timer countdown. He saw an arrow fire a warning shot beside him.
"I challenge you, imposter. I'll skin your sheep's clothing and show who you really are, a fake! You have no right to refuse."
Whatever does she mean, Sekai wondered. Soon The Dark elf called out. "Hey you, Sekai. Since I don't want to taste the consequences, let me tell you this. If she swings her sword once, you will die." Sekai was stunned. "For realsies?" He asked. "If you mean, is it true, then yes... for realsies." She grimaced emphasizing the last word slowly.
"Before she talked to you, he casted an incantation on her sword. It looks to be a high-powered lightning attack. It's a trick magic knights use."
Sekai was pissed. "What is this challenge? That's the same thing as aiming a gun in a knife fight and saying, 'let's go.' How is that fair?" The dark elf sighed. "Wow, if you don't know this, then you being a foreigner seems to be true."
"Stop aiming that sword." "What if I refuse?" She smugly grinned. "Then I have no choice. I'll cast disarmament on you." Sekai paused time. "First I'll have to do something with this dangerous sword." He tugged but her grip was firm. "Wow, that's some grip, I have a hard time moving the gauntlet!"
Sekai went back to the city to get oil, or soap, and not forgetting to get rubber gloves in case the sword was to shock him. 20 minutes passed (Well 20 for Sekai, time was stopped so instant for everyone else.) Sekai finally disarmed her sword. "That's not enough to stop her from simply picking it back up." Sekai stated. After Sekai hid the sword, He saw there was a leather belt fastened on her so her armor would not move.
"Dang How does she take this off, daily?" Sekai wondered as he fumbled with a knot. Another lengthy time has passed, and Sekai unfastened the knot, dropping her armor.
"About time I got too her boobs. Dark elves are bigger and rounder, but hers are nice too." Sekai 'studied her physique.' "Do the shoulder blades go like this?" He fiddled taking them off. "Okay, now up goes her undershirt, Down goes the panties.... and ta-da! Disarmed!"
Sekai resumed the time. "Wha-huh? How? My attire?" Sekai's eyes gleamed. " Hehe, I told you, disarmament!" Sekai enjoyed looking at her Naked body. "You're dead" The female Archer drew her bow back, and the female mage fasting an ice attack in an attempt to shoot our Hero, however...
"Disarmament!" Suddenly the three girl allies were all naked from head to toe, with no weapons in sight. The dark elf was explaining how Sekai was going to die. "A high-level freeze spell and poison tipped arrows? You're dead. Wait where are their weapons?"
Ninya called our hero the worst pervert. All 4 girls were naked, and the mage was even gagged, so she couldn't chant spells.
"You fiend" The Princess called out. "Where's our attire!" Sekai smiled. "Well in front of you, obviously. And look I made it look like an origami swan. Resembles Cygnus, don't cha think?" They looked down as their armor and clothes were neatly folded, with the panties on top.
"Your weapons were dangerous, so I threw them in the moat. You can get them later." "Omg Sekai the womanizer of perverts you did it again!" Ninya yelled, chiding her ally.
"Well compared to death, wasn't this the most peaceful solution? What if they had hidden daggers in their clothes? One can never be too sure."'
"I'll overlook this matter. But I will never consider you a Hero. I'll let my father know your true colors." Clau spat out. "That's something a sore loser would say. Go ahead, but next time you attack me, I'll use disarmament in a public place."
Alicia watched from the perch on her room, amazed. "Sekai managed to find the most peaceful solution and thus avoided any bloodshed and also make my irascible sister leave. What a true gentleman!" Uh, Princess Alicia must be cooked; she watched them lose their clothing and she still thinks this way?
Later on, Sekai met Ninya again. "Sorry I left you in a hurry. Do you know where the western ruins are? Wait where's the dark elf?" "Oh her? She left as soon as you went to escort your new harem out."
Sekai appeared before her as she was escaping the forest. "Oh my, you really did try to escape. took me a while to find you. In two minutes, you have gotten this far, that's impressive." The dark elf bit her lip in a grimace. "I guess it doesn't matter now." She said dejectedly.
"Hey, let's not be enemies and get to know each other. I'm Sekai Kuzuno." "I'm Fury." Whoa, cool name, is that why she always looks pissed? "Have you even thought for a second why I was in the deepest part of the caverns and why I had a summon golem to stop adventurers, and also why I was behind a disguised door?"
Sekai knew. "You were hiding." "Yeah, until you found me, and dragged be before the king. Now, even with your 'ownership' All the assassins know my location. I'm good as dead."
Assassins huh? Sekai pondered. Suddenly, Ninya appeared before them. "Hey Sekai found ya." "How did you find us so easily?" Sekai asked. "Well, duh I'm a big-time thief I used my search skill to locate you." She looked at the Dark elf. "By the way, I heard your name is fury. I'm Ninya." She paused for a second.
"Oh, right, Sekai, I was wondering about this.... follow me." Ninya led Sekai and Fury to a guy tied to the base of a tree, with gag in his mouth. Fury grimaced "He's part of the brigade. Top level assassins." Next Ninya led them to another one hanging from his feet by the branch of a tree, also a gag in his mouth. "There's more." Ninya stated leading them to three more, hung in humiliating positions. One hogtied like a pig, one hung limbs stretched wide, and the leader naked, gagged with humiliating words written on his chest. Fury saw each of the Brigade tied up, announcing the one in the most humiliating position was the leader named Bartini. "Let me guess, you did this?" Sekai nodded, seeing them hidden in various position poised to strike. "They were trying to be concealed but I saw they were plotted to ambush Fury. So, Fury, I'll let you decide what to do with them."
Fury was pissed at them. She chanted the golem spell as the brigade muffled begging for their life. "Oh, begging for your life? While you toyed with my sister, before killing her?" She had the golem decapitate them all. This was obviously Sekai's first human to human murder and he puked, not ready for the grotesque scene.
"So is it, hurk..over?" Fury stating it was. "Would you join me, not as a slave but as an equal, You too, Ninya. Before Fury could state a no, Ninya hugged Fury saying. "Omg we did it. Please take care of us, Sekai!"
Sekai looked at his remaining countdown, It stated he had 25 hours 46 minutes and 08 seconds left. He did wonder just how we may accomplish his stop time with allies now.
