Chapter 23 Back to Business
Day 5
I woke up that morning with Minos cuddled up behind me, slow fucking me as he held me tight. An excellent way to wake up in the morning, Minos' warmth at my back and his big cock pumping in and out of my backside was very welcome. My moans woke up Felix who glanced at Minos hunching into me and moved closer to cuddle up to me and kissed me as he ground his hard cock against mine.
Even though last night had been fun and very busy, with me making the rounds of several rooms, beds and many a cock, that was last night...
Felix quickly re-positioned himself, turning about so that his hot warm mouth was over my cock, bathing it in early morning affection, while his cock prodded the back of my throat. I was quick to grab hold of Felix's narrow hips and swallow the entirety of his hard cock while Minos slowly increased the speed and strength of his thrusts.
Felix's attention got me all worked up and I nudged him off me and he mistakenly thought I wanted to fuck him when instead I wanted them both to double stuff me. I guess me saying me "Fuck me" wasn't clear enough as Felix instead backed his ass up onto my spit-slick stiffy and as I sunk into his warm depths, my original intent became irrelevant.
I held Felix tight and rocked back and forth between the two horny men, enjoying the best of both worlds, a hard cock and a hot hole.
It didn't take me long to find my own release and I lost myself to sweet pleasure and submerged into a sleepy in between place.
Felix rolled off my slowly softening cock to give me what I had originally wanted, nudging Minos' hip back and down, Minos didn't let go of me throughout. A moment later, Minos was on his back thrusting up and into me as Felix lifted my legs and aimed his rock-hard leaking cock into my stretched hole.
He pushed forward and his cock sunk deep, edged up alongside Minos' stiff prick inside me and I groaned as I was truly stuffed by the two well hung men. The recent lull in my lust was quickly overcome as Felix's mouth found mine and his tongue rubbed against mine and his hard naked abs ground against my semi hard cock and...
They just fucked me, HARD and I loved it. Minos held me tight, fucking up and into me rapidly, with his teeth clamped to my neck while Felix had my legs over his shoulders as his mouth plundered mine and fucked me hard.
By the time they were done, I was horny as hell and wanting more...
They were less inclined to help as they had already blasted their loads deep inside me and had other ideas, namely a break, more sleep, more food, trifling concerns when I wanted more dicking. As an experienced sex pest, I knew they'd need a little time before they could go again; that was fine, there were quite a few guys I could visit for more fun.
I thought through the list of guys that I knew who were close by and went through them one by one in my mind.
Last I saw of Dale, he was getting his ass fucked by a handful of the Swords of Destiny, they had three rooms and three beds and his antics had led to me picking up a horny and frustrated Minos. I doubted the Swords of Destiny would have energy left after Dale was done with them and ditto for Dale. I knew Dale, he was a horny little fucker but even he needed sleep after a long hard night of fucking.
Last I saw of Alec, he was leading off Kered for sleepy times. Alec was usually good for one or three loads before becoming unhelpful. He'd probably not be in the mood for a few hours, considering he'd have Kered around for his early morning needs.
Sam had slunk away at some point in the naked fun to sleep somewhere else. Coward. I still have no idea where that boy sleeps, I'd have to ask him at some point.
I could try Sammy and Dean, they might be up for it but they might need some more sleep, I had kept them up late in the baths, riding them repeatedly and insisting they double fuck me frequently. I did enjoy a good brotherly double fucking and while they weren't as fun as Fred, Minos or Dale, they were far less likely to be occupied with other activities.
Michael had bailed relatively early along with Stan, so he should be full of energy and most importantly alone. Stan presumably went back home to his brother's estate.
I led the drained guys towards Michael's room and knocked on his door. They were too bleary eyed and sleepy to object. They kind of grudgingly gotten out of bed, wanting to nap more but I pulled them along, hoping seeing me back in action would inspire a second round of fucking fun.
I heard a muffled, "Who is it?"
"It's Lucius, I'm horny. I want some cock."
"For fuck sake, you're a menace."
And yet, I heard a click as the door unlocked and the knob turned and I pushed my way into the room, followed by my two semi naked escorts. All three of us had towels around our waists, so that we could hit the showers after visiting Michael, so we were somewhat decent for a change.
We walked in to see Michael still underneath the blankets, looking blearily at us. "How'd you open the door from the bed?" I asked.
"Spatial magic, really basic telekinesis, useful for avoiding getting out of bed."
"That's really impressive." I said burrowing under the blankets to grab a hold of Michael's half hard cock.
"Yeah, oh, Fuck." Michael moaned as my mouth covered his cock and started bobbing up and down on it.
It didn't take long for him to be fully hard and I exploded out of the bed, scattering his blankets away as I straddled him. "Fuck me." I demanded, looking down on his naked body, he had an average face and a decent build but at that moment he looked delicious. I wanted him badly.
"Didn't you guys fuck him enough last night?" Michael complained as I sat on his stiff cock
"Guess not" Minos shrugged with his familiar grin.
"We'll help you out though." Felix said, his cock rising to the occasion.
He got onto bed behind me, his hands grabbing onto my butt, pressing down and exerting strength to open up my hole for his tongue, which dove in to lick out the remains of his and Mino's cum from our earlier tryst.
"Fuck, you're all freaks." Michael whined as Felix tongued Michael's cock and balls as he kept fucking me with three fingers. His fingers were soon replaced with his cock and at that point Minos had moved from watching at the side to standing on the bed over Michael's head and fucking my face.
Felix and Michael continued to double stuff my ass, while Minos fucked my face. I was crazy horny, bucking and grinding and stroking myself but the good times never last long. Minos pulled out of my mouth to circle around behind Felix and things stopped for a moment as Minos slammed into Felix. Felix sped up his fucking of me. Minos had spent the very early hours of the morning taking turns on both of our asses, so it didn't much time at all for Felix to adjust to his cock.
Due to Michael being a boring straight guy, he wouldn't let me kiss me with my `cock breath' (his words) so I had to settle for nibbling on his sweaty neck as I ground my ass on his cock (and Felix's).
Still, Felix came again in me, which necessitated a brief pause for him to pull out and be replaced by Minos who continued to fuck me unabated.
Felix stood to the side, slowly caressing my back with one hand while his other helped my own stroking efforts.
Minos knew how much I loved a load up my butt, he also knew that Felix loved it more when he shot in me, than in him, so he knew to hold off until he could fill me up instead. Minos followed up by shooting off into me and Michael wasn't far behind. Them shooting one after another took me over the edge and I came again as Felix double fisted my cock into a messy explosion on Michael's abs. My hands had drifted from my cock to Michael's chest so that I could get better leverage as I rode him faster, thus by giving Felix free rein on my cock. Win win.
We disentangled from our fuck pile, Felix quick to lick off the cum from Michael's torso and my cock.
After three fresh loads, I hobbled somewhat to the showers as I had to clench to keep it all in for Felix. Michael remained in his bed like a lazy fucker, saying he'd meet up with us later.
Felix was quick to eat out my loads right there in the showers, getting himself and me worked the hell up. He followed that up by picking me up and giving me a back bruising fuck in the shower. I wrapped my legs around his waist to hold onto him tighter as he slammed into me over and over again relentless all the while kissing me passionately. He kept at it until he groaned and dumped his third load of the morning into my well used ass.
Minos who had been washing up while idly stroking his cock was quick to take over from Felix, pinning me to the cold wet floor and fucking me hard and fast. Some horny random shoved his stiff cock into my mouth as my cock was painfully ground into the cold floor.
As Minos got closer and closer to his release he got more bitey, nibbling on my neck and ear as he railed me faster and faster, his hips making a thudding sloshing noise as the water continued to spray upon our naked bodies.
After Minos came and promptly pulled off and out of me, I got to my feet shakily and during my moment of inattention was promptly bent over and tag teamed by two horny guys, one in the back and one in the front.
As they sawed in and out me with their hard cocks, I stroked myself feverishly until I had my own release. My orgasm was intense but brief, then the idea of sex suddenly became repellent. Luckily the guys finished up shortly after and disengaged, saving me from an awkward situation.
Afterwards I kind of brushed past the horny and hard adventurers, more focused on the thought of food than cock. The room had suddenly become far too crowded and steamy for more liking.
We returned to my room and three of us got dressed in my room and by the time we were done, Michael had come to my room fully dressed like a boring normal person. The four of us made our way downstairs for breakfast.
It took some time for the early morning rush to settle down and for us to get some food.
By the time the others arrived downstairs, most of the crowd had left and I was on my third helping. Michael was paying this time, so I was making the most of it. He did owe me quite a bit of money and he had a decent paying job now as an enchanter of sorts at a high end shop, so he could afford it.
During the morning meal Alec told me that he was taking everyone home in order to deal with his dad who had sent him a message, wanting the guards back.
The bad news was that meant that not only would I lose out on the company of Alec, Sammy, Dean, Minos, Dale, I also was losing out on spending more quality naked times with the Swords of Destiny. They were planning on visiting Frederic's farm for approval on taking Dale along as a junior member of the group. Dale for his part seemed enthusiastic about the prospect of adventures and lots of fucking by seven adventurers, even if none of them quite measured up to his family, quantity over quality I guess.
Felix said he would stay behind to keep me company as Alec had more than enough protection for the short journey home and Alec had agreed. He was going to take Kered along for the ride.
That meant I had only Felix, Michael and Sam to keep me company during the long nights. If I get desperate for more cock, I could probably find myself some more horny guys during the morning shower rush or the evening bath rush to satisfy my carnal desires if needed. Still I would miss the guys, they said they'd try and be back in a few days.
Despite my disappointment that I'd have less company, I still wanted to remain in Derby and make the most of the greater opportunities available. That and I had already paid for a few more nights in the Guild's beds and I was going to make the most of it while I could.
I went upstairs with my friends and lovers and we had a long goodbye with me getting several more loads in me. The Swords of Destiny weren't included as they had stuff to pack for the journey and Dale had already satisfied them more than enough for the day and they weren't in the mood for it.
Kered, Sammy, Dean, Alec, Dale, Minos and Felix all took their turn at a goodbye fuck. Some of them took to filling Felix's mouth and ass to amuse themselves while they waited for their turns at me. Even John threw a load into my backside before leaving.
I'd miss the horny fuckers while they were away.
After they headed off to go about their business, it was time for me to get to my business. My visit to the library while informative, had been costly and even though I had stalled on picking a second class, I did have a new skill and perk to practice with. I also needed to make some money for the next step in my adventure. I had a lot to do and work on.
I visited the front counter and asked the woman there to speak to Paul. He was unavailable that day so she took down my request for a guild job and also for a notice offering my services.
The Adventurer's Guild serves as a go between between those who wanted something done and those who had skills they wanted to make use of. I wanted adventurers to go get me certain ingredients so that I could craft more exotic potions and so I could make some money on the side.
One poster was a request for a list of ingredients, with a price next to them that I'd be willing to pay for them. It would be cheaper for me to get it myself but it would be faster if I got other people to get the ingredients while I worked on levelling up my Alchemist class more. I offered a special reward for those who brought me good stuff, I left it vague as to what the reward would be.
The second poster was an advertisement of my skills as an alchemist and that my specialities were stamina and recovery potions. Both of which were quite in demand for adventurers so I didn't imagine it would be hard selling them.
Stamina potions were needed to keep warriors on their feet longer and were useful after strenuous battles. Recovery potions allowed warriors to recover their health faster, allowing them to resume battle faster, it also had a lesser secondary effect of increasing stamina recovery a little. Both were very useful potions to have when adventuring in dangerous areas as a precaution against injury and death.
The woman seemed both amused and irritated by the request, citing as a first time `client' that there would be an additional surcharge for their service. The guild charged for the notices and would receive additional funds once the job was complete. It took basically all my remaining money and some of Felix's money too to pay the annoying shrew.
Felix was more established as a part time adventurer than I was and at this point, I spent more money than I gained. I hoped to fix that and gain some levels at the same time. Felix was happy to help me out, since it let him know that I needed him and we got to spend more time together.
Felix escorted me to the market to purchase a new leather apron so that I could work on my alchemy in my room, without fear of splash back. It was a quick trip and we got back to my room in about fifteen minutes.
The first step was to separate raw ingredients from finished products so I did so on my unmade bed, which still smelled somewhat of sweat and sex. Not surprising considering the vigorous goodbye fuckings that took place earlier in the day.
Potions formed one pile, which I promptly gave to Felix for safekeeping.
Felix said "I'll go grab a table."
"Thanks you're the best." I said giving him a kiss goodbye, which lead to his hands on my ass, then his cock down my throat and me getting fucked up against the door.
He was almost as bad as me... which is why I love him so.
Anyway he left for a moment to go fetch and I made use of the time to empty my spatial pack of raw ingredients from my time in the woods and sort them into respective piles, according to type.
I placed the note pad filled with alchemical recipes I wanted to try to the side to address later.
Since I was alone, it was time to test [Infusion] on raw ingredients, to see what effect they had on the ingredients.
Using [Infusion] felt odd at first as I had to draw a portion of my own mana and pour it into something else.
After each cast, I used [Identify] on each ingredient to see the effect. In some cases it simply increased the potency, in other cases it added a random effect to the ingredient. The effects varied from mild numbing, to increased sight, strength, recovery and even an addictive quality.
It took me longer than I would like to admit to realise that all the effects were based around my abilities. My mana was by it's very nature, weird and a little demonic. My infusion would work in a different way than other alchemists. It would be a challenge to work with but possibly very rewarding, only time would tell.
Around that time Felix came back with a small table he borrowed from Sam.
I used Infusion on the potions and it had less of a dramatic effect as very few gained a secondary quality, with most just getting more potent with the addition of raw mana. Around ten to fifty percent more effective.
[Infusion] took a lot out of me, requiring me to pump out my own mana and because I was abnormal, it had an unpleasant draining effect on my health and stamina.
I had a swig of an enhanced stamina potion to counter my sudden fatigue and headache, which helped to even me out.
Still I had more experiments to perform.
I told Felix to wait outside to sell the potions already produced while I worked on making the most of the ingredients I already had to make more potions. Most of the ingredients I had available were used for cleansing salves, healing potions and stamina potions. The boring staples of my earlier profession as an apothecary assistant.
What I really wanted was to try my hand at were mana potions but it required a certain mana rich plant to produce and I didn't have that on hand. Then again maybe I could substitute if I infused a normal plant with enough mana. Something to test on another day with more sterile conditions after mastering the standard mana potion.
I worked on creating more potions and when I ran out of ingredients, I felt recovered enough to try using my new skill & perk on something a little different.
I used Infusion to pump my mana into my enchanted steel sword which granted it a [Life Steal] effect, upgrading it from a low quality enchanted sword to a low grade magic sword. A minor but important distinction, enchantments used magic to grant the sword certain quality, whereas [Infusion] filled it with my magic, making it a little magic in and out of itself.
I sliced my finger along the sword's edge and used [Fusion] to fuse my blood into the sword itself. I used [Identify] on the sword to see the effect and it was a little underwhelming for what it cost me in blood and mana. The sword now had a 5% chance to cause confusion on enemies on a strike that caused bleeding. I figured it had something to do with my fluids being somewhat addictive thanks to sweet damnation or maybe it was a side effect from Demonic Whispers. I was uncertain.
Either way [Fusion] was a lot more mana intensive than Infusion with less impressive results. Still it would be very useful once I got a higher mana pool and added a couple more perks and skills to my collection.
I could faintly hear Felix waited outside the door selling my finished goods to customers. Adventurers were often in need of stamina and recovery potions after all and my prices were extremely low (10% over cost).
As I waited on new ingredients I lay back in bed, reading through my note pad and thinking about all the things I wanted to try out and experiment with.
Due to Felix's earlier attention, I hadn't bothered to get dressed in anything other than a leather apron.
Felix came in with Uffron.
He looked different fully clothed, every time I'd seen him before he'd been naked, which I preferred, he looked kind of pathetic clothed in what appeared to be ragged and torn leathers.
"Hey." He said giving me a once over as he carried what look like a full bag of stuff over, judging by how bulgy it looked, it seemed to be a normal un-enchanted pack, instead of a spatial bag. I guess he was poorer than I was, if he couldn't afford better gear. Then again my spatial pack was a family heirloom of sorts, so I guess I couldn't judge his finances too harshly.
"Hello again, it looks like you brought me some good stuff." I wasn't overly concerned with what I looked like, even if I might have looked a little bizarre dressed only in a leather apron.
"Yeah, I tried my best, I went to the dungeon and picked up some stuff. I didn't know you were an alchemist."
"Well, it's not like we ever really had much in the way of conversation before." I said getting to my feet.
Uffron blushed, last night he had fucked me hard as Felix fucked my face and yet, this conversation was leaving him more flustered. I found it kind of adorable, so I decided to put him out of his misery and get us back on familiar footing. "Uh yeah, Um. Oh. Fuck."
I had dropped to my knees letting the overfull pack drop to the ground as I lowered his leather pants and swallowed his stiff prick in one smooth motion. It had been over an hour since my last cock and I was hungry for a fresh load. Perhaps a side effect of using too much mana on my new abilities, got me worked up, or it was just too long between cocks. Who knows?
I stopped for a second, taking his cock out of my mouth for a second to ask him "Ass or mouth?" before resuming my sucking.
"What?" He asked, wide eyed and confused.
I pulled off. I was dumb, asking a guy questions while he was hard and horny was not a good plan. I shook my head to shake off the irrelevant question. I'd just nudge him in the direction I preferred and if he wanted something else he would just say something different. No great loss as long as I got some cum and life energy out of it, I'd be happy.
I got back on the bed, on my back legs up, apron askew, revealing my stiff aching cock. "Fuck me!"
"Uh what about?" He glanced at Felix who was watching us, with his cock in hand, business had slowed and the door was open, anyone could see us... I didn't care but Uffron seemed anxious about it.
"SHUT UP and FUCK ME!" I yelled and the concern faded from his eyes and he stepped forward and his slick stiff cock found it's mark quickly and sunk in and I pulled him close.
"I, uh." Uffron trailed off as his cock proceeded without his input, slamming into me over and over again and I took a hold of his hips and butt as words became meaningless and all was motion and pleasure. It didn't take him long to let out a final groan and squirt a meagre load of cum and life energy into me.
"Thanks for that and that." I said to a confused and sleepy Uffron who backed a step away in increasing confusion.
Felix on the other hand was not confused at all, barging past Uffron with a "watch the potions" as he dove face first into my hole to eat out the fresh load. A moment later he had his fill of fresh cum and had slammed his big hard cock into my spit soaked hole.
I clung to him as he took my mouth and hole with equal fervor, mouth clamped against mine as he wrapped his arms around me and just fucking went at me like a lust crazed mad man. Watching Uffron rutting into me must have really gotten him worked up. He railed me hard for several minutes until he groaned and came into me, filling me with his cum and warmth for a beautiful if brief moment.
The moment he was done pumping his load into me, he pulled out and licked his load out of my hole and swallowed my stiff aching pole into his mouth while he fingered my hole, rubbing up against the sweet spot inside me expertly, just the way I loved.
I came hard, squirming and crying out and blanking out in bliss as I emptied myself into Felix's hot mouth.
Afterwards I chatted casually with Uffron, who was dressed again while Felix went back to man the potion counter to deal with our latest visitors. There was a small crowd of a dozen guys who had watched us at it. I should have felt ashamed or something but I had long stopped caring about an audience to my pleasure. I actually enjoyed having guys watching me, getting hornier with every passing moment, ready to pounce to fill any vacancies within me. It was quite ... pleasurable.
Uffron explained somewhat wordily that he had some experience as a solo adventurer with herbs and their uses and would like to offer his services as an assistant if I needed it. He wasn't an apothecary, more of an amateur herbalist, knowing only how to create some basic salves and the difference between those plants that were poisonous and those that weren't. Not that great of use, John would have been more of use but he left with the others. Still it was better than nothing and I could do with some help sorting out through ingredients.
I sorted the ingredients that Uffron had brought by their types and shoved them into my spatial pack and had Felix pay him for his ingredients. I had made enough from the sale of potions to afford it.
Several of the newly arrived adventurers had brought ingredients to sell and I bought them all and offered them a bonus suck or fuck if they kept bringing me more stuff. They seemed quite keen to get more stuff for me.
Uffron proved quite useful as an assistant allowing me to bypass the more boring and tedious parts of alchemy, namely cleaning vials, stripping plants of their active ingredients, grinding them down into paste and all the weighing and measuring.
This allowed me to focus on testing out some new recipes.
We took an hour break to have lunch a little later than I would have liked but I had gotten a little preoccupied with mixing and fucking.
The break helped me sort out my priorities. I needed more money, the sales of potions wasn't doing nearly enough to offset the costs of buying so many ingredients from adventurers.
To counter this problem, I added Uffron to my impromptu alchemy business, shifting him from an independent contractor/supplier to an incorporated member of the business. He'd get a share of the profits of sales and would learn a valuable trade as an apothecary's assistant. He lacked the mana to become an alchemist but the profits should allow him to get better gear for his main job as an adventurer.
I'd also introduce him to Michael, though I think they sort of met before, though we were all naked at the time and well not much talking was done at the time, Michael was fucking me and Uffron's cock ended up in my mouth. Good times.
Michael should be able to supply him with a cheap spatial bag, which would allow him to carry more goods back from the dungeon easier. I'd also send him off with Felix later so that he'd be able to get further into the dungeon to collect more material.
I used [Infusion] on his basic iron sword an added [Life Steal] effect, adding a little more damage to his strikes. I also handed him my old leather outfit, so that he'd have higher defense against enemies, my Monstrous spider silk outfit and chain mail shirt was better, he could have my hand-me-downs, it'd increase his survivability a lot more than his old tattered leathers.
When I returned to my room, I upped the prices on potions, so that they were about 15% over costs, in order to better my failing finances.
There were quite a few adventurers about, they weren't happy with the price increase but it was still cheaper than anywhere else. I also offered a discount if they brought the vials back and a `bonus' if they brought me high quality stuff.
Business was good if erratic, sometimes hours would go by without anyone coming around, then there would be a flood of customers and `suppliers'.
We worked until evening when we stopped for dinner.
I sucked off every male supplier that visited my room, or if they were keen, had them fuck me. As for the handful of female adventurers that brought in herbs, they simply got a monetary bonus.
Sometimes they had to wait a little while in between fuckings and or between moments where potions had to be carefully mixed, heated or bottled. It wasn't the most professional of Alchemy setups, considering that I was selling potions out of my rented room and I was mostly naked (apron only) and leaking cum the entire time but still I had a lot of fun.
Felix would pop in on occasion to make sure that I was doing okay and or fuck me up against the wall, floor, bed or door. Felix is such a sweetie.
At the end of the day, I had made some new contacts and my reputation was probably in the gutter but I didn't mind being infamous since I had no shortage of male customers. It was funny, I gained more from pleasuring the adventurers than they probably imagined as their cum kept me going in a strange way and they were eager to come back with more goods next time knowing what was in store for them.
I had a relatively quiet night as the day had been long and busy, I visited Michael's room along with Felix and Uffron.
Michael promised to help out, handing me some gold and said that he'd bring back a spatial bag for Uffron when he got off work tomorrow.
After business conversation was done, they each took a turn on my ass before Felix and Michael took to double fucking me until they wore out and I ended up nestled between them. Uffron left to sleep by himself.
Day 6
The next morning after the inevitable sexy times with Michael and Felix, I had a shower (a quick and relatively uneventful one since it was just Felix and me having a quick post fuck, shower fuck) and went back to my room and got back to mixing potions.
Uffron joined in early in the morning and I helped him learn the basics of crafting stamina and recovery potions. He'd need a lot of practice before he could produce them reliably but knowing the ingredients and ratios was the first step.
At a certain point, I ran out of ingredients, so I went for a short walk around the market to say hello to the big beefy barbarian. He wasn't much for conversation, glaring at me with his big beefy arms crossed and his big fuck off axe. Unfortunately for him, I was less intimidated than turned on. Or I was turned on because I was intimidated ? Who knows? Not me that's for sure.
I had left Felix and Uffron behind in my room to handle any customers in my absence, they'd be more than enough to handle the simple buying and selling of goods. As for the `special' bonus the adventurers could simply wait if they were horny enough. If I took too long, I'm sure Felix would be happy to help them out in my stead.
I also bought a few slime cores so that I could practice golem crafting. I wouldn't be able to do it in my room as I couldn't carry a hundred kilos of sand, mud or stone into my room without creating a massive mess. Sam would yell at me and I'd probably get kicked out. I'd just wait until I was out on the road again before trying my hand at making a golem. In the meantime, I could get a feel for infusing my mana into the core in preparation of something...
I returned back to room and `handled' my clients which took a little while since there were a few of them before resuming my hands on experiments with alchemy.
I primarily focused my efforts on creating three particular potions. A mana potion to improve mana recovery rates. An antidote against a particular poison produced by a dungeon creature to provide immediate relief.
The last potion was a berserk potion, a potion that could in theory temporarily increase strength by as much as two to three times for a very short period of time. The downside was that it was considered a final resort by martial adventurers during very difficult battles as it would lend you great strength temporarily at great cost. The cost of doing so could be intense, as it produced a strain on the body that was difficult to recover from but still it was better than dying to a dungeon boss or an unexpectedly strong monster that you couldn't handle without a major boost.
I hadn't achieved much in the way of success with any of them, the closest I got to producing a completed product was the antidote.
Potion making is an expensive and time consuming art, requiring careful control of heat, extensive knowledge of ingredients and how they interacted and a certain degree of luck. Experience was also helpful in separating amateurs from professionals, lots of adventurers had passing knowledge of field side application of potions and plants, very few were the equal to an actual Apothecary or Alchemist.
That night instead of the usual fucking around, I joined Michael, Felix and Uffron in my first ever dungeon delve.
The line even at night was absurd, it took us an hour just to get in, while we waited Felix shared his experiences with his dungeon. He had been there a lot with Alec and Minos and knew where the biggest dangers were. We wouldn't go too deep this time as this was more a harvesting mission than a serious delve.
This was considered a tame dungeon, being an offshoot of the main dungeon in the Capitol which was considered the true foundation of our nation. It was regularly harvested for goods and supplies and it's output sent throughout the nation one way or another. It also served as a training ground for adventurers to test their skills against `live' opponents with minimum risk.
As a tame dungeon, it's primary goal was not to murder adventurers, though some would inevitably die through incompetence or misadventure, it was to feed on their energies as they fought. It also profited somehow off the deaths of it's own creatures. The dungeon was heavily regulated and no adventurers were allowed to venture to floor ten, where supposedly it's core was. A dungeon core was a priceless relic and supposedly there were high class Guards at the end of the ninth floor to prevent anyone from entering or breaking/stealing the Core.
It was kind of a disappointment to enter what was an underground ramp and see a sign that said "All adventurers that enter past this point freely admit that their life and property is forfeit to the dungeon and the nation if they seek a Core Breach or otherwise perish through their own misadventure."
A vague, confusing and somewhat disturbing message but Felix brushed it off as inconsequential and we headed forward according to his command. As the highest levelled person in our group and the most experienced he was the obvious choice as our leader. As such Felix took the vanguard position with Uffron just ahead of me and Michael taking up the rear guard position.
It was a strange place, every room was essentially the same, just with minor variations. They were surprisingly square stone rooms, with every surface being perfectly flat and even, with either plants or animals within.
Since the first couple of floors were considered the beginner floors, they only had plants with a single animal guardian, a small group of animals or a single non lethal trap to watch out for. The plants varied in usefulness, though each plant was mana rich, the air itself had a purity of mana unlike the outside world. It was somehow very soothing.
As for the dungeon creatures they varied between dungeon rats and spiders. They were still annoying to deal with. The dungeon rats were much healthier and aggressive than the ones in the sewers, being both faster and stronger, thankfully they were also much dumber, seemingly incapable of the cunning displayed by the sewer rats. They simply attack, alone or in groups.
The spiders in particular were terrifying, 3 feet tall and with 8 legs tipped with poison, in varying shades of brown and black.
Thankfully Michael and Felix took care of most of the fighting.
Michael had a slow spell, that he used frequently to stall any enemies so that Felix or Uffron could kill them.
I was armed with daggers but they weren't used on anything but plants in the end as Michael had more than enough skill to pause enemies before they could get close to us.
Felix did the most damage with Uffron jumping in as soon as the enemy was stalled to get in his own blows.
Ufrron was a level 12 Warrior, with a secondary class of Swordsman, his damage output was much higher than Michael or me. Michael only had a staff that helped to better draw in mana, which improved his mana recovery.
We only explored the first couple of levels as it was late and it was my first time in a dungeon and they didn't want to push it too much on our first group run.
Still it was a profitable run as we picked up quite a lot of plants for my alchemy and some monster cores that the others could sell. The last couple of days had helped to level up my Alchemist class by two levels, a mixture of trying new alchemy recipes, teaching a fellow 'practitioner' and harvesting plants in a somewhat dangerous location, increasing my experience gain more than normal grinding of the same old boring potions ever had.
We celebrated our first successful group dungeon delve with a good deal of fucking, mostly of me but Felix got at least a load out of each of us. Uffron left far too early for my liking but he said he'd need a lot of sleep if we were to work together and I let him go without complaining too much. (Michael disagreed and said I was a needy little cunt, but I wasn't sure what he meant by that, so I ignored him and went back to riding Felix's hard cock)
I fell asleep between Felix and Michael, Michael behind me, his cum leaking slowly from within me, while Felix was in front of me, my cock buried within him as I held onto his waist and cock as I released yet another load into his bowels. Just another load of many. Business was good and my company was even better, even if Michael could be a little frustrating at times.

Author's Note: From now on, I'm just going with Uffron, previous chapter was very badly proof read by myself. I apologise. He was incorrectly referred to as Ufron & and Uffros in the chapter he was introduced. On other news, I'm hoping it will be a much shorter wait for the next chapter to be out. Chapter 23 will be titled Caravan... On the road again, can't wait to get on the road again, all my troubles seem so far away... etc etc. I'm a little crazy.
