Chapter 17 - Orc Attack


The trip around the surrounding towns to pick up other new recruits to the academy took around 5 days before they stopped at a beautiful lake. Samsara liked lakes and rivers and felt a pity he couldn’t skinny dip like he did earlier, especially with Arisa and Aria with him.

The next stretch would be alongside the Forest of Darkness which would be a dangerous 4-7 days of treacherous forests filled with magical animals, orcs, goblins and trolls before reaching the midway point of the City of Stronghold which was right smack in the middle of the forest.

The rumored secret city of the dark elves is supposed to be somewhere in the forest, so most travelers were especially cautious on this leg of the journey. 

They would camp every night, several hundred meters away from the forest, allowing their horses to rest for a long period before the torturous 2 day stretch where they would be riding non stop the whole time.

Samsara and the sisters enjoyed a picnic next to the lake much to the envy of Heracles and his group. The other 3 girls in their carriage got close as well and the 6 of them spent most of their time together.

On the second night, Loki got up to relieve himself as he had eaten too much. He walked out in the darkness to a far side before relieving himself. After washing himself up in the nearby lake, he put on his robe and walked back towards the camp.

However, he was intercepted by Heracles and his gang. "Hi, what are you doing here? I would advise you don't go that direction" he smiled as he pointed at the area he took a dump in.

"Get him" Heracles smiled as his group of 6 boys pounced on Loki and started beating him up.

Samsara was still a weakling and had no physical ability to fight back as some of the teens could enhance their strength with their elemental abilities.

"Hey, don’t kill him yet" one of the boys suddenly said as they bloodied him badly.

"String him up" commanded Heracles. The boys tied him up to a tree and Heracles played with his knife.

He put his knife to Samsara's face and dragged it over his bruised cheek, cutting a line across his face.

"What are you doing with my girls, trash?" he whispered to Samsara. He ripped his robe off his body and gasped as he revealed Samsara's 10 inch cock dangling down between his legs.

The other males also gasped as they suddenly felt hugely inadequate after looking at the large monster hanging between his legs.

Heracles’ face turned red and he got angry as he imagined Loki plowing Aria and Arisa with his gigantic cock. He continued staring at the enormous cock as his fist tightened and lighted up with a fireball.

"Heracles. What are you doing?" asked one of the boys.

"Making sure this bastard no longer is a threat" Heracles said as he threw the fireball at Samsara's cock.

Samsara screamed as a fire uncontrollably burned his cock and spread over his body and up the tree.All his clothes were burned as well as his handbag which had Sharon's stuff.

Suddenly as the flame erupted around Samsara and the tree he was on, Heracles' eyes lit up as the flames revealed orcs charging from the trees behind Loki.

"Orcs!" he yelled as he ran towards the camp. Several of the other boys that followed were too slow and two of them were butchered as the orcs attacked. The orcs jumped on the two and ripped them to pieces, ripping off limbs and charging with the limb in their mouths.

Although his groin and parts of his legs and torso was badly burned, his cock was still unharmed. As a magical tool, it was indestructible.

The ropes that tied Samsara up quickly snapped from being burned and Samsara remained conscious long enough to slip into the nearby water, quenching the flames on his body.

The bag on the ground where he was suddenly exploded as the can of mace ignited and caused a cloud of capsicum to spread around the area. The orcs smelled it and immediately avoided the surrounding, instead charging at the fleeing boys and the other students and teachers. 

Under the water, Samsara immediately used healing magics on himself and at the same time using water and air magic to form a air bubble to hide underwater as the orcs passed by.

While he cast the spells, Orchid, Aria and Arisa all felt their body shudder and their mana slightly diminished as their bodies flushed with a minor orgasm.

Their minds suddenly thought of Samsara when Heracles and his followers ran screaming to the camp.

The camp immediately went on high alert as the teachers gathered the students onto the carriages and started casting spells.

"Where is Samsara? Samsara!"yelled Aria urgently. Arisa also looked around in panic as teenagers all fled towards the carriages.

She saw Heracles and his gang running towards the camp.

"Have you seen Samsara?" asked Arisa. "Dead.. the orcs got him" panted Heracles as he boarded the carriage Aria and Arisa was on.

Orchid and the other instructors urged and pushed Aria and Arisa onto their couches as they looked out for Samsara in vain. Orchid especially was particularly worried for him.

From a distance, they could see the other boys being slaughtered by the orcs. Orcs could be seen ripping up bodies and eating arms and legs like drumsticks. Some were holding decapitated heads and slurping up the eyeballs of the teens caught.

There were hundreds of orcs charging at them. The teachers tried to battle to rescue the children, but at best they could only hold the orcs back for a short period of time.

The orcs shot arrows and threw spears from afar. Several hit the carriages and even injured a few fleeing teens who barely managed to enter the carriages.

"Go!. We must go through the Forest of Despair now. We have to get to Stronghold" yelled Merlin.

Stronghold was the nearest town ahead of them, which was roughly two days away. It was built like a fortress and held up for many incursions by the orcs, goblins and dark elves.

The carriages sped off and Aria and Arisa wailed in tears for Samsara. Orchid bit her lip and ignored her worry for him, concentrating on her job as a teacher, protecting the students that were in the carriage with her.

The orcs took all the bodies of the boys they attacked, but they didn’t see as he was hiding in the lake.

The orcs charged ahead and headed towards Stronghold after them. The orcs were on the move and were apparently on the way to attack Stronghold anyway.

After several minutes, Samsara came out of the water. It was dark with only the moonlight illuminating the area.

There were dead bodies of other fellow students who were unlucky and their bodies were ripped apart leaving only bones.

He puked after seeing several grisly bodies, then sat down to carefully think about what to do next.

Suddenly, he heard noises so he hid in a bush, behind a rock. He was appalled to see even more orcs charging towards Stronghold.

He had two choices, either forwards towards Stronghold with the rest, or backwards to the towns they passed.

However, based on the numbers of orcs marching by, it was probably a better idea to go forwards, overtaking the orcs and joining his group in Stronghold.

He started moving slowly in the shadows, trying his best not to get caught by the orcs.

“Fuck, I’m in way over my head. Nexus, I need help!” he said.

[Affirmative. Initiating first summons] the computer replied.

Chapter 16 - Beginning of the Journey


The girls woke up early and untied Loki, this time bringing him to join them in their bath. They were already lovers, so this time they had no hesitation in bringing him to bathe with them.

While bathing, Aria gestured at the water to prepare the bath. Both Aria and Arisa were using their water abilities to bathe each other, and Samsara.

“Your control has improved tremendously!” Arisa said, startled by how Aria’s water magic has improved, matching her level.

At Aria’s original level, even though she could control water, there would still be splashes of water, but now her control of water was such that there wasn’t even any wastage. The water was fully controlled.

Aria has always been better at Air magic than water magics, and Arisa herself was the reverse, being better at water magic than air magics, even though they were born duel element mages.

“I… I… I think I’ve leveled up! I can feel it!” Aria exclaimed. In an instant, she turned the water into ice.

“Aria! You’ve reached level 15?” Arisa gasped. Usually one can start manipulating ice once one’s level is at least level 15. But they both paused, knowing that her ability was now far beyond level 15

Arisa was curious and found that her control of air had improved tremendously as well. Both sisters were happy when they suddenly looked at Samsara.

Samsara stared at them. Apparently, he was curious as to what level they were at, and instantly popups appeared above their head showing that they were both exactly level 42 water and level 42 in air magics.

“Are you alright? Why are you staring at us like that?” asked Arisa.

“You are both level 42 in water magic and level 42 in air magic” he replied

“Huh? What do you mean?” Aria asked

Remembering that the Nexus rating of abilities was different from this dimension’s ratings, he answered again using the local ranking.

“Um… both of you are now Grandmaster level in water and air magic” he answered again. 

“How.. how can it be? That's too incredible! I was only Intermediate in air magic before?” Arisa asked

“I can read levels. Also I think making love to me has equalized your abilities. Both of you are identical now in magical ability” He answered.

Arisa dried her hair with hot air generated. She was amazed at the level of control she had. It was so precise that she instantly dried her hair, but didn't feel any discomfort from the drying at all. This meant that the air was incredibly hot, but at the same time incredibly controlled so much so that it didnt' damage her hair or her skin.

“If we are Grandmaster level, why would we still have to go to the Academy?” Arisa asked, realizing that if what Samsara said was true, they were the level of the advanced teachers already.

“Let's just go anyway. Who knows, you may both improve even more” Samsara concluded after thinking a bit.

“That’s so boring. Why do we have to study if we already know it all?” Aria sulked, tugging his penis playfully.

"We may have the magical aptitude of a Grandmaster, but we don't know the spells to utilize them yet" Arisa answered.

Aria nodded unhappily, but started sucking on Samsara's cock again.

“You better not hog him all to yourself” Aria joined in, also tugging his cock and sucking it which was getting hard from their ministrations.

 It was as if they were addicts and needed to be close to his cock at all times.

He had a hard time putting on his sarong due to his huge erection, but the girls helped drain him again with several more sessions of oral sex.

They smiled at each other shyly but decided not to mention anything about their activities. Instead, they silently kissed him for long moments before finally getting ready and went down for breakfast.

Two hours later, they arrived at the meeting point and they were gazed at by everyone as each sister was comfortably walking on either side of him, happily chatting and indiscreetly holding his hands.

Many males gazed at him enviously, while the girls looked at him longingly. Loki was dressed in a grey sarong, his shoes from his earlier life, and Sharon's handbag.

"I must say you're dress sense is still pretty bizarre. What happened to the robe I gave you?" asked Orchid as she approached them, her eye half trying to glimpse at his cock.

"It got torn up by a pack of wargs" he answered honestly. She wrinkled her eyebrows and shook her head.

"Alright everybody! Here are your robes as acolytes of the Celestial Academy. You will behave in a way appropriate of a student of our academy" she said as she handed Samsara another grey robe and the rest lined up for their robes.

He threw his robe over her head and removed his sarong that was underneath. He then went to look for Aria and Arisa and found them by a carriage whereby they boarded it together.

The carriage was rather big and could fit 9 people in each, 3 people sitting in 3 rows comfortably.

Samsara sat with Aria and Arisa at the back and he noticed Orchid was among the 3 instructors sitting in front, together with Merlin, the leader of this expedition.

Three other girls joined the carriage, leaving no room for the rest. The other carriages soon filled up

One of them was a redhead with wild hair like Merida in Brave named Gabriela. She came from a long line of witches of Stillwood Forest.

Next to her was Ursula who looked like a goth girl, with straight black hair, pale skin and dark eyes. It appeared that it was her natural look and not makeup. She hailed from the Dark Wizard family of Ulthar.

The last girl was a ditsy looking blonde named Flora. She dressed like a hippy, with flowers in her hair. She hailed from the druids of Evergreen Fields.

Like the sisters of the Storm, these girls were all from famous backgrounds from nearby territories of the kingdom, and were all child prodigies in their own right.

Unlike many of the other kids on the other carriages, every girl in this carriage with Samsara were already at least Advanced level and could perform special magics of their respective clans or families.

Aria and Arisa were now as high levelled as the teachers, but Samsara's instructions were to pretend and hide their abilities to the level they were earlier at, so they didn't show off at all. In fact, due to their now greater level of power, this allowed them to hide their levels perfectly. 

Samsara was not familiar with any of the new girls. However, he smiled and greeted them in a friendly manner, and of course they too were extremely attracted to him and only watched in envy as Aria and Arisa both kept surreptitiously bumping their breasts onto him and Aria was grabbing his cock when they thought no one was looking.

Of course, everyone noticed it, especially Orchid, but they all only pretended not to see. Samsara eventually had to use his handbag to cover his large erection, which only encouraged Aria to pretend and slip their hand under the handbag to happily grab him.

The journey was a long one, and the trip from Willow to the Celestial Academy would take two weeks by carriage. The journey would be full of danger, which is why the top and most powerful teachers were in the same carriage as these girls.

The presence of Samsara, since he was so close to the sisters of the Storm actually relegated Heracles Hellstrom to the second carriage, with the other not so famous second class nobles and common folk. This of course made Heracles mad as he wanted to make a move on Aria.

He sat in the second carriage, full of sycophants who wanted to carry favor with the heir of the Hellstrom family and who were all also jealous of Samsara. There were several girls there too who also wanted to get close to Heracles.

Heracles looked at the 3 girls. They were all not bad looking and were from minor nobility. He glanced over at a girl who was quite pretty named Helena and pulled her to him by the hair.

He took out his dick and pushed her head down. She opened her mouth and obediently engulfed his cock with her mouth.

He pulled the other two girls to sit on either side of him and his hands lustfully entered their cloths and groped them all over.

"This is what power can do. I will show that trash" thought Heracles to himself as the other kids watched him in shock as Helena’s pretty head bobbed up and down his penis.

The 3 instructors watched the scene but ignored it as they didn’t want any trouble from the Hellstorm family.

Suddenly, the carriage went over a large bump and the carriage went up into the air then down in a rough motion, causing Helena to bite down onto his cock.

Heracles yelled in pain and wanted to slap Helena, but his hand was caught in one of the girl’s dresses, instead throwing her over at Helena, pushing both girls to the floor.

“Bitch!” he said as he nursed his cock. This trip was not going according to his expectations at all.

Chapter 15 - Nighttime Activities

The carriage entered Willow again and stopped at what looked like the most luxurious inn in the town.

As it wasn’t a very big town, the style of the inn wasn’t ostentatious, but it looked very comfortable.

The sisters pulled Samsara into their large room which had its own bathing area and a very large bed.

He asked them why they were bathing in the river nearby as this inn had such a wonderful bathing pool.

Aria answered that they had gone out to feed their eagle who was nesting nearby. After tonight, their minders would travel back to Stormgate riding the eagle while the sisters will travel with the Academy instructors to Celestial Academy in Celestia.

The girls had insisted Samsara shared the room with them regardless of what their minder said. As Samsara didn’t have very much money anyway, he didn’t mind complying.

As they entered the room, Arisa looked at Samsara sternly.

“What’s the matter?” he asked her curiously.

“I agreed with my sister to let you sleep with us, but… I... we don’t trust you that you will be able to control yourself with us” she said bluntly.

“But you are the one who invited me to sleep in the same room” he said in surprise.

“Yes, that’s why we must tie you up before we go to sleep” Aria said playfully.

“Ok. I agree. How do you want to tie me up?” he asked.

They led him to the main bed, which was a large king sized bed and he was surprised as they tied both his hands and feet in a spread eagle position, one limb tied tightly to each corner.

“Ok, now we are safe, lets take a bath. Me first!” laughed Aria as she went behind a screen, blocking the view of the bath.

Samsara watched as Aria threw her clothes, including her undergarments over the screen all over the room messily. He could see her naked silhouette enter the tub.

Arisa shook her head and walked behind the screen, undressing herself and hanging her clothes neatly behind the screen. She entered the large tub with her sister and Samsara could hear the bubbly Aria laughing as they bathed each other.

He could not help but get erected, watching and imagining their naked bodies only several feet away from him, just behind the screen. His large cock had already pushed aside his sarong, peeking out lewdly from under the cloth.

Aria finished first, and he could see her gorgeous silhouette drying herself and wrapping her body and hair with several towels and walking out.

She walked out and looked at him and she gasped looking at his huge erection that had thrown off his sarong.

"You are such a naughty boy. What are you thinking about?" she said, as if in a trance, as she walked over to him and grabbed his cock. Her face stiffened as she felt the large girth and length of his cock, her hand barely able to hold it.

Her face reddened and she turned around silently.

"I need to get dressed, and I don't think it best if you saw me dress" she said as she walked away and picked up her clothes and underwear that she threw all over.

Samsara looked at her gorgeous body wrapped in her towel, imagining her dressing up when suddenly, Aria turned around and wrapped her bra several times around Samsara’s eyes tightly and then covered the top of his head with her panties blinding him up.

“Hey! What…” was all he managed to say as she suddenly kissed him. He was stunned as she suddenly pulled away again.

The next thing he heard was Arisa's voice

"Hey, those are my underwear. I haven't washed them yet. What are you doing?" Arisa asked.

Samsara turned his head towards the sound when Aria suddenly returned and shoved Arisa's panties into his mouth and then wrapping Arisa's bra around his mouth, completely gagging him.

Samsara could taste Arisa’s essence from her panties as he smelled Aria’s smell from her bra and panties covering his eyes and nose.

He was now helpless and at her mercy, but he was completely aroused, his cock seemingly even harder than it’s ever been, as if it was about to burst out of its skin.

"Now you can't see or say anything" Aria said as Samsara suddenly felt his sarong being open and pulled off the bed revealing his fully naked body.

The room was completely silent before Loki felt his cock get warm and wet and he guessed she was sucking him.

Aria was bobbing up and down his cock, taking him as deeply into her throat. She was completely under uncontrollable lust and was wild with passion.

Aria decided to lick the rest of his gorgeous body. She enjoyed rubbing her hands and licking his gorgeous abs as well as his well defined pectoral muscles as she climbed onto his body.

He felt her soft breasts rubbing on his chest and her hands groping him everywhere when he felt the tip of his cock touching a warm opening.

Samsara felt Aria move in a sudden movement, plunging her body onto him, impaling herself balls deep onto him, breaking her hymen.

She gasped and stayed still for a second as the sharp pain of her hymen breaking stunned her.

Samsara grunted as he uncontrollably came into her in just one thrust.

[Aria marked, level 5 Upgraded]

Samsara was so surprised that he didn’t realize that he had upgraded his level.

Aria was bound to him without him realizing it as his eyes were blindfolded. Aria sat in a trance as her will became bound to his.

Just then, Arisa walked out from behind the screen, wrapped in her towel. She looked at Aria in shock.

"What are you doing? Your…. your chastity!" Arisa said. "We are supposed to keep it for our life partner" she continued. She sounded as if she was intoxicated as she too was influenced by seeing Samsara's erect cock entering and exiting her sister.

Aria blinked for a few times, then mumbled "I don't care. It’s soooo good. Soooooo good. I need him inside me"

Aria's eyes showed a crazy lust in her as she moved up and down a bit, but it was too much and she came on him within several seconds and lay on him panting.

After resting for a while, she started moving again and grinded her hips onto his groin area with his cock deep inside her. She came at least twice more before she collapsed onto his chest.

"Aria? Aria?" whispered Arisa, but her sister simply lay on Samsara, as if unconscious. Arisa used her water powers to lift her off and she watched as the large cock slowly slid out of her sister, still covered with cum, her sister's juices and hymen blood.

Aria laid down next to the helpless Samsara and Arisa looked at his erect cock again. Arisa was hypnotised by Loki's cock as it stood majestically, still covered in cum and pussy juices.

As if in a trance, she too got on to him, mounted him and similarly placed his cock to her pussy lips and after taking a deep breath, she pushed herself down.

Her eyes popped open and her mouth dropped as the large cock broke her hymen. She gasped as it felt like an arm plunged into her. She became so lustful, she ground her hips and felt his cock kiss and smash itself against her cervix.

Loki came instantly upon penetrating her virgin pussy

[Arisa marked. Level 6 upgraded]

Again Loki was unaware that he had marked another Familiar. All he knew was that his cock was in something warm, wet and tight.

She tried to move and grinded her pussy onto his hip bone.

Samsara’s cock was too much for her and she nearly passed out on top of him as she came, her juices drenching his whole crotch area.

Within minutes, she started moving again and came at least two more times before really passing out on top of him as he came into her.

Aria stirred, looking at her sister on top of Samsara. She pushed her sister off to the side of the bed and mounted him again.

“Again, fuck me again!” she said dreamily as she mounted him again. This time, Samsara lasted a lot longer, no longer being a one pump chump.

Aria fucked him for at least half an hour before he came into her again. Just then, Arisa came to and demanded a second time as well.

And like that, Samsara fucked both girls for many hours, cumming into both of them countless times.

Samsara was completely spent. His body didn’t have a lot of stamina in the first place, and after fucking both girls several times and cumming hard, he slipped into a deep sleep.

----------------

Samsara woke up and found himself still tied up but the bindings on his eyes and mouth were taken off. He looked around and saw the two girls sleeping naked beside him on each side.

As he didn't want to wake them, he watched their beautiful naked bodies hugging him and his cock started rising again. However, he couldn't do anything about it and simply enjoyed their breasts pressing against him.

He looked at his Health and Mana bar which was slowly increasing. In fact, the limit had gone up. He also noticed that his level had gone up too.

He was now a level 6 mage.

"How did that happen?" he wondered as he looked at the girls. “What did I do?” he pondered.

“It would seem that besides doing missions and killing enemies, fucking girls help me level up too” he concluded, looking again at the two gorgeous girls hugging him.

Chapter 14 - Sisters of the Storm


The next morning, two gorgeous girls were stripping to take a bath at a quiet beautiful cove downstream.

They were the sisters of the Storm, Aria and Arisa of the Storm, daughters of Alistair of the Storm, Lord of Stormgate and trusted General of the North.

Lord Alistair is a close friend and advisor of King Griffith, ruler of Eternia. They adventured and were comrade in arms in their younger days.

Their minders were around 100 feet away, cordoning off the area from other people who may stumble to the area.

Arisa was the older and slightly taller sister. She was a brunette with a fit athletic body and firm C cup breasts. She was 17 years old and two years older than her sister Aria and was already a student at the academy.

Aria was the younger sister. Also a brunette, she was slightly shorter and had larger D cup breasts. At 15, she just passed the entry test yesterday with Samsara and was about to join the academy with her sister.

Arisa was a level 27 water mage and level 15 in air magic. Aria was in turn a level 19 air mage with level 12 in water magics. Both sisters were the talented daughter of the Lord of Stormgate and well thought in their clan’s water and air magics.

“Sis, you make me so jealous every time I see your breasts. You are 2 years younger than me, but already you make my breasts feel small” Arisa teased Aria as she groped her younger sister’s breasts. Arisa was usually reserved with other people, but with her sister, she was quite open and loving.

“Don’t, you’re squeezing them too hard” complained Aria. Usually, Aria was the bubblier personality and Arisa was more reserved. But since yesterday, Aria seemed down because of the incident at the test yesterday.

A gorgeous boy was injured badly and she felt that the fight occurred because of her.

“Is it because of the incident yesterday?” Arisa asked. She didn’t see what happened, and by the time she heard her sister scream and ran towards her with their minders, Samsara was already being brought away for treatment.

Of course Heracles from the Hellstrom family was not punished, as he merely got into a fight, as was usual among youngsters. The injury Samsara received was regarded as a matter of bad luck.

Aria even felt it might be her fault as the explosion of her wind wall, which she created to protect Samsara propelled him far into the spear training field.

Aria nodded her head and looked down sadly. Arisa moved towards her and gave her a hug. The image of the two lovely ladies hugging naked would have given Samsara a nosebleed if he were conscious.

They proceeded to bathe together, helping each other wash. Just as they were bathing, Aria screamed as she saw that the water around them turning red.

Arisa immediately cast a water spell, pushing the blood mixed water away from them. Just then, she saw the nearby bushes upstream what looked like legs.

Aria had her hand to her mouth as her sister bravely walked towards the bushes and looked behind.

She gasped as she saw a body, facing down into the water. The person’s top body and head was partially on the river bank, preventing the person from drowning.

However, he had deep wounds all over his back and there was a big bloody wound on his head. The person’s skin was quite pale indicating that he or she had lost a lot of blood.

“Is… is he dead?” asked Aria looking at the body.

Arisa shrugged and turned his face a little to see if he was breathing.

Suddenly, Aria gasped

“It’s him!!” Aria yelled suddenly

“Who? You know him?” Arisa asked Aria curiously.

"That’s the strange boy I told you about from yesterday, the one I thought I may have killed" said Aria.

"Are you sure? He doesn’t have a hole in his chest, and he seems more injured than what you explained" Arisa asked as she didn't test at the same time as Aria.

"I don't know" Aria answered as they dragged his body out of the water.

As they washed the blood off his face, Aria gazed at his handsome face.

"Yes, that's definitely him" Aria finally said as they pulled him to the side. But he still wasn't breathing.

Arisa instantly placed Samsara's head on her naked lap and gestured her hands. Water was pulled directly from his mouth and lungs.

"Holy….is that his… his…." Aria said as she sat next to her sister, facing Samsara’s lap. She pointed at his long cock between his legs. It went all the way to his knees.

"That can’t be real, right? Are they meant to be so big?" asked Arisa in amazement.

Aria bit her lip, then suddenly kissed Samsara, blowing air into his lungs.

“What are you doing? You could easily just cast air into his lungs” Arisa said in amazement, half regretting not thinking of doing the same thing.

Suddenly Samsara gasped as air entered him and he started breathing lightly, but he was still unconscious.

“What do you think happened to him? He has so many wounds all over his body” asked Arisa to Aria

“I wish I knew. Maybe we should try to help him with his wounds?” Aria shrugged and asked in return.

Arisa nodded. Her among her water spell she knew also included a healing spell using water. It was not as fast as white magic, but it soothed the pain and slowly heals the wounds.

She started casting it, and her hands started getting enveloped with a layer of water. With her hands covered, she placed them on the wound on his head, which immediately stopped the bleeding.

As she did that, Aria couldn’t help but start playing with the large penis between his legs.

“What are you doing?” Arisa gasped in shock as she continued healing Samsara’s wounds.

“It feels so soft and nice to hold! Want to try?” Aria asked while kneading Samsara’s cock with both hands.

“I… I…can’t… I “ Arisa hesitated, watching as the cock started getting harder in Aria’s hands.

“Ooooh, it’s so hard, yet velvety smooth now” Aria said, mesmerized by the rising erection.

Suddenly, Samsara’s eyes started twitching, then blinking and slowly opening.

“He’s awake!” Aria gasped, still playing with his cock.

“What? But we’re naked!” Arisa said, immediately getting up, causing Samsara’s head to hit the ground.

“Ooff” Samsara grunted as his head hit the ground.

“Oh no! I’m so sorry!” Arisa said, bending down to hold his head. She inadvertently hugged his head, pushing his face into her gorgeous breasts.

Aria stared at her sister in amazement, her hands moving up and down his cock faster and faster.

Arisa’s eyes popped open, realizing what she had done, looking at his amazed face looking at her from between her breasts

“No! Don’t look” she said grabbing his head tighter and smothering him with her breasts.

“You! Go get dressed! Quickly!” Arisa yelled at Aria who was still playing with his cock.

Aria reluctantly let it go and flew to her clothes. With a gesture, her robe flew by itself over her body and in an instant, she was dressed.

She cast another gesture at the other robe nearby and it flew towards Arisa.

Arisa let Samsara’s head go and immediately stood up, hands over her head.

Samsara looked at her in amazement, as the gorgeous naked body was covered up with her robes.

“I told you not to look!” Arisa glared at him.

“I can’t help it! I don’t know what’s going on here!” Samsara said, while grimacing in pain. He started feeling the pain from all the wounds on his body.

Instinctively, he wished that his pain would disappear. As he touched the wounds on his body, those wounds he touched suddenly disappeared.

Samsara looked in amazement and started running his hands all over his body, healing all his wounds.

Arisa and Aria looked in shock as the level of healing Samsara was displaying was that of an expert healer. Samsara didn’t realize that he had acquired Orchid as his Familiar, absorbing her level 42 white magic abilities.

Unknown to him, whenever he used one of his Familiar’s magic, he used their mana as well.

Back in an inn in Willow, Orchid was reading a book in her room. Suddenly, she felt flush and started to have an orgasm. She steadied herself only to find that some of her mana was depleted, as if she performed some healing on a patient. She had a large amount of mana, so it didn’t tax her. But she felt that she had used some power.

“You… you are an advanced mage! Why were you pretending to be a beginner when you enrolled?” Aria asked

“I am a beginner! I’m just a level 4 mage, and I don’t know any spells!” answered Samsara looking confused and staring at his hands.

"Ahem. Lets get to the bottom of this later. You are still naked and very distracting" Arisa said, her body facing him, but her face turning away.

Her face was turned facing Aria when she realized Aria was staring at Samsara without flinching.

She immediately grabbed Aria’s head and turned it to look at her face.

“Where… where are your clothes? Why are you naked?” asked Arisa while staring at Aria who smiled sheepishly.

“I… I don’t know. I must have washed downstream. I was attacked by wargs next to the river, not far from Willow” Samsara answered.

“I think I know the place! We’ll bring you there” Arisa said and turned her head to look at him.

She blushed looking at his naked body again and turned away again.

“Could you… cover up? It’s very… uh… very….” Arisa didn’t know how to continue.

“Very attractive” giggled Aria. She threw a pair of panties at Samsara. “Here, cover up” she laughed.

“Those are my panties!” said Arisa, looking at Samsara who caught the panties and opened it up, looking at it.

“No, they’re not. They are mine” smiled Aria flirtingly.

Arisa didn’t know what to say, but when she turned, Samsara had put on Aria’s panties, but his cock was rock hard again, and was not covering the majority of his cock.

Aria laughed and went to hold his hand. “Are you coming sis?” she asked.

Arisa sighed and held both Samsara’s and Aria’s hand, forming a circle. In an instant Aria used her wind abilities to fly up the river.

It wasn’t long before they found the spot, full of carnage. There were two dead wargs there as well as a dead orc and blood everywhere.

Samsara and the girls landed at the riverbank and looked around. Samsara found remnants of his robes and Sharon’s handbag.

He picked up the robe, but it was torn up, so he could only wear the remainder like a sarong.

He then picked up the can of mace and empty gun and put them in the handbag, slinging it over his shoulder.

“It looks like you slaughtered them” Arisa looked at Samsara, amazed that he killed 2 wargs and the orc.

“You make it sound so heroic. I was fighting for my life” Samsara laughed cynically.

“So what will you do now?” asked Aria, realizing that all that he owned was on him right now. He didn’t look like he had even money to eat.

“I don’t know. Hunt for food, make shelter for the night, then go back to Willow tomorrow to join the contingent to Celestial Academy” answered Samsara.

"Why don't you join us? We will travel together to the Academy anyway, so why don't you stay the night with us rather than in the forest?" asked Aria.

Samsara smiled and nodded thankfully. If they had a place to stay, that was definitely safer than staying in the forest alone again.

Samsara searched the dead orc but found that it didn’t have anything of value, so holding Aria and Arisa’s hand again, they flew back to their bathing site.

He realized that they came from some background as when they exited the forest, there was a carriage waiting for them with guards.

"Who is that?" asked an elderly man dressed in a cloak, looking at Samsara who was dressed in a sarong and his handbag. "This is our friend Samsara. He will be joining us to the Academy" answered Arisa who stared at him.

"Yes miss. It's just your parents instructed me to take care of both of you to ensure no harm will come to you" he said.

"Noted" Arisa said coldly as they headed back to town.

The old man shook his head helplessly as they boarded the carriage together.

Chapter 13 - Warg Attack


Samsara walked through the forest and found a nice quiet place by the river, about 2 miles from one of the roads to Willow. It had a waterfall 30 meters away that had a high drop down the river 50 or so meters below.

The running water gave him as sense of comfort in being part of nature.

He made a fire and settled down for the night.

He reminisced about everything that has happened so far since coming here. It was only his first day and already he had died, had his first sexual experience, been chased by goblins, gotten into a fight…. It was a long day indeed.

However, he was happy be alive, and being incredibly handsome, having a big cock and fucking gorgeous princesses wasn’t a bad tradeoff.

Not long later, he fell asleep.

-----------

He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night hearing a loud, low growl that scared him awake.

It was pitch black and his fire had become only ambers. He could only see red eyes a short distance away, causing all his hairs to stand on end.

As the creature came closer, with the light from the dying embers in his fire, he saw what looked like a huge wolf.

But just as he thought it was close already, it came even closer and he realized that it was many times larger than a normal wolf. In the fantasy worlds he read off and played games in, it would be considered a warg.

Just then, from the forest was several more noised from large creatures. In the darkness, Samsara looked up and realized that he was facing two wargs and a large alpha warg with an orc riding on it!

“Fuck!” thought he to himself. He had read enough fantasy books and similar movies to speculate that this orc was a beastmaster scout, and his wargs were his pets.

The wargs slowly approached him as he put his hand into Sharon’s handbag to retrieve the handgun.

In his panic, he only managed to find the mace and quickly aimed it at the closest warg and sprayed it.

The mace luckily was bear mace, and it had a good range, hitting the warg from several meters away.

The warg roared and trashed in pain as the other wargs hesitated.

However, the alpha warg and the orc didn’t hesitate, and charged at him in an instant and pounced on him.

Samsara tried to shoot the warg with his mace, but as he had absolutely no fighting experience, he panicked and completely missed, but the spray managed go accidentally hit the orc, who screamed in pain.

The alpha warg deftly grabbed him and chomped down on his waist.

Samsara screamed in agony as his abdomen from his diaphragm to his waist was caught in the jaws of the warg.

He sprayed the warg at point blank range with the mace, but it just bit down harder smashing his internal organs and bones. By now, he already lost feeling of anything below the bite and guessed he was paralyzed.

He saw the orc jump down, wiping it’s face and drew its sword approaching him. With one hand, he sprayed the mace at the orc again who was not blocking it with its hand, and with the other hand he searched desperately in Sharon’s handbag. He was already losing consciousness.

Finally, he found the handgun and aimed it at the warg’s eye and shot it twice at point blank range. To his relief, he felt the warg immediately release its jaw pressure and it dropped to the ground.

The loud shots stunned the other wargs who were also approaching, causing them to hesitate.

As the wolf dropped dead, Samsara could only lay half paralyzed inside the wolf’s maw. He gasped in pain as he dropped onto the ground, still inside its mouth, with blood everywhere. His intestines were splayed out of his body and warg’s dead head was trapping him.

At the same time, the orc had partially recovered it’s sight, its eyes completely red as he charged at Samsara with it’s sword.

Samsara emptied the gun at the centre mass of the orc before he ran out of bullets.

The orc slowed down, it’s body riddled with bullets, before collapsing right next to Samsara, it’s sword landing just inches away from his head.

He had killed the alpha ward and the orc that was sitting on top of it, but there were still two other wargs to deal with, and Samsara was paralyzed, stuck under the large warg and was nearly unconscious due to his severe injuries.

One of the wargs was still reeling from the effects of the mace, while the other unaffected one charged at him.

He immediately grabbed the sword and only managed to lift it up as the warg attacked. Samsara, who was lying prone on the ground found that he could not avoid the warg’s attack nor parry it, so he simply shoved the sword right into the warg’s mouth, who chomped down on both his arms.

Samsara screamed as the sword pierced through the skull of the warg, exiting the back of its head while the whole head of the warg chomped down on his shoulders and neck.

As the orc died, suddenly there was a popup in front of Samsara’s face

[Level Upgrade. Level 4]

As that happened, suddenly his whole body healed instantly. Both his health was instantly back at 100%. He felt immediately better. In fact, his maximum health level on his health bar increased by a bit as well.

Samsara opened his eyes in amazement. This is just like a computer game, and was a great hack to take advantage off.

Although he had healed, half his body was still in the mouth of the dead alpha warg, and the top half was in the mouth of another warg with only his head poking out. The orc’s sword was still poking out of the second warg’s skull.

The two warg’s teeth were sharp and Samsara started bleeding again as his skin was scratching on the teeth as he struggled to get out.

He heard a loud growl and saw that the final warg had now finally recovered from the mace he sprayed on it and was eyeing him menacingly.

The warg pounced on his head, hoping to bite his head off, but at the last moment, Samsara managed to duck into the head of the other dead warg an bent over, trying to crawl out from below the two dead warg’s mouths.

Lacerating his body everywhere, he forced himself out from under the two wargs and was just about to turn and face the final warg when it pounced on him.

“No! Stop” he yelled helplessly as suddenly the warg withdrew it’s fangs in mid air.

Unknowingly, Samsara activated Jemima’s mental abilities with his desperate yell, and the warg, with it’s instinctive and inferior brain could only obey the most simple notion of stopping it’s attack, hence the withdrawal of it’s attack.

However, although it stopped it’s attack midair, it’s huge body still was in mid pounce onto Samsara.

It’s large head hit Samsara square in the chest as it landed, knocking the wind out of him. Samsara flew through the air into the river, knocking his head onto one of the rocks rendering him unconscious.

The warg looked confused, losing sight of it’s prey, and Samsara’s scent had disappeared into the river in the dark night.

Samsara floated down the river naked, with blood coming out of his head and from all the many deep scratches all over his body.

Chapter 12 - Second Encounter




Orchid brought Sam's body to the medical tent and cordoned a section off. "Samsara, 16 years old." she read from the application form.

She was one of the instructors in the Celestial Academy and her specialty was white magic or life magic.

She was also one of the most beautiful beauties in her kingdom. She was practically famous as the “Flower of Celestia”, the most popular instructor at the academy, that every male student had fantasies about her.

She was also incredibly talented and had already reached level 40 by the age of 25. Now at 30, she was at the peak of her abilities as a level 42 white mage.

Her abilities were in healing, and her spells included minor and major spells and at her level, she could attempt resurrection spells, albeit with only a 30% chance of success. Even so, casting a resurrection spell, whether successful or not, would drain all her energy requiring a day or two of rest to recover.

Although she specialized in healing magics, common level 20 spells like “levitation” was not an issue for her, so she levitated Sam’s body onto a gurney.

As she lay him on the gurney sideways, his skirt was askew, allowing the tip of his penis to be shown between his legs and land on the spear that pierced his right thigh.

“What… what is that?” Orchid thought as she glanced down.

“Oh my God! That is his…. his… his…” her mind reeled realizing she was looking at his cock. "rchid, d! That is is chest with the spear impaling right through his chest. nis to be shown between his legs.  two of rest to r

She had seen larger ones on animals and evil creatures such as trolls and orcs of course, but on a human, this boy's size was significant.

Furthermore, no one in their right mind would fuck a troll or orc, but this boy… he was irresistibly gorgeous.

And it was very mesmerizing. She had to shake her head before she looked at the boy's handsome face. His face was so handsome that if he wore a dress, he would be regarded one of the prettiest girls around.

“No! Concentrate Orchid, or this boy will die” she thought to herself firmly as she glanced away and removed Sam’s shirt, exposing his chest with the spear impaling right through his chest.

This wound was obviously more urgent to deal with than the one in his thigh, so she immediately started work on him.

She cast a spell on his chest to stabilize the wound, then with one practiced hand, she pulled out the spear and cast Major Healing on his wound.

Although unconscious, as the spear was pulled out of him, Sam gasped uncontrollably, causing Orchid’s heart to flutter.

“What’s wrong with me? I usually am not emotionally attached to my patients. Why do I wince when he feels pain?” Orchid pondered to herself.

As the damage was quite major, the spell took several minutes to stop all the organs inside from rupturing and bleeding out.

After his chest condition was already stabilized and he was no longer in danger of dying, she left his chest wound, even though there was a large scar on his chest.

She immediately removed his skirt to pull out the spear in his right thigh to save his leg, otherwise it might have to be amputated.

She couldn’t help but space out and stare for a long moment, looking at his impressive cock lying flaccid between his legs.

The spear had gone right through his bone, shattering it. It needed another major healing spell, so Orchid didn’t hesitate and started healing his leg.

After several minutes, Orchid wiped the sweat from her forehead. She managed to save Sam’s life and leg, but there was an ugly scar on his chest and leg. His health would probably never be the same too as his internal organs were repaired, but not as good as new.  

Usually, she was only obligated to save the life and limb. Her magic was not to be used for cosmetic appearances as that would be a waste of her mana, unless it was to heal someone important.

Samsara to her was merely a young tryout with no significant background.

However, as she looked at his naked body on the table, she realized that besides the scars, it was the most perfect male body she's ever seen.

Without realizing it, she was playing with his dick absentmindedly. It started getting semi hard and very nice to touch, she thought.

She played with it, first with one hand, then two and started playing with it until it got rock hard, pointing at her face.

Mesmerized, she closed her eyes and kissed the tip of the cock. Her mouth slowly opened and she took the tip into her mouth. Not satisfied, she started taking it deeper and before long, she was deep throating him.

She suddenly stopped as she heard noises of people walking past her tent. She finally regained her senses and looked at him again. His cock was glistening with her saliva.

“What am I doing? This is crazy!” she said to herself.

“Maybe I better completely heal him. That scar on his chest looked too eyecatching” she thought senselessly.

She pulled up her magician robe and climbed onto the gurney, mounting his naked body. She then placed her hands on his chest and was about to cast [Restoration].

She could feel his cock touching her pussy through her panties and she closed her eyes and started rubbing herself on him.

“Mmmmmm” she hummed and lost herself in the moment, she pushing her panties aside and rubbing her bare pussy on the length of his erect cock.

She had forgotten to heal him and her juices lubricated the top of his cock, making her slide up and down him smoothly.

Suddenly, she moved all the way up and felt the tip of his penis touch the opening of her vagina.

She gasped and looked down and saw the tip of his cock inside her opening. She hesitated for a long while before closing her eyes as she sat down impaling herself on his long hard cock.

She nearly couldn't help screaming in ecstasy as half the cock entered her. With her whole body quivering, she sat down completely plunging his cock balls deep into her pussy. Her eyes rolled up with pleasure.

She had lost her virginity to this boy. Although many men had pursued her, she never had anyone in her heart. However now she had so much lust inside her, she couldn't resist fucking this perfect male body.

She only managed to move up and down his cock a few times before she came on his cock, drenching it with her juices just as he came into her.

[Orchid marked. Level Upgrade. Level 3]

Sam was still under her spell and unconscious, so he didn't realize that he had marked Orchid as his familiar.

Just as he leveled up, his health bar and mana bar suddenly jumped to full, like in a computer game, and even the scars on his thigh had completely disappeared. However, Sam was still unconscious, as if he couldn’t wake up.

Her hand was still on his scar on his chest when it suddenly became smooth while she was touching it. She her senses felt that his body suddenly recovered to full health and his chest was completely healed as if she had healed it completely.

She was so shocked that she scrambled off his body. The pleasure of the cock exiting her body caused her to tremble and lose control, causing her to actually fell to the floor while trying to dismount him.

She slowly got up and readjusted her panties. Her pussy was still wet. She quickly examined his chest and thigh, finding them completely cured as if he had never been injured.

“What the… I better clean up and investigate more” she thought to herself.

She quickly took a cloth and wiped down Sam’s cock from all her cum and blood from her broken hymen.

Her breathing was still ragged and her face completely flushed and sweating. She absentmindedly wiped the sweat on her head with the cloth that she used to wipe his cock off her juices.

She kept staring at that cock of his and was mesmerized again momentarily. "Would anyone notice if I kept him unconscious and kept him?" she thought to herself.

She laughed cynically. Of course she wouldn’t do that. She was a princess of Eternia and instructor of the Celestial Academy.

She cast an awakening spell on him, allowing him to finally wake up.

In an instant, Sam opened his eyes, slowly sat up and looked around.

"Where am I?" he wondered and suddenly noticed Orchid next to him. Her pretty eyes were staring at him while her pretty mouth was open. Her bountiful breasts were heaving as her face was turning red.

He stared at her and suddenly felt something on his chest and stomach. It was his cock suddenly standing erected.

"Wh...where are my clothes" he asked as he quickly tried to push down his large cock, but he really couldn't hide such a large thing.

"We...we had to throw them away as they were covered in blood" she said shyly.

"Here.. put on this spare robe" she said as she threw him a gray robe. It was the robe of Celestial Academy.

Sam quickly put on the robe as his cock's outline could be seen pointing up at his face from under the robe.

"Are... are you ok? Do you feel any pain?" asked Orchid.

"No, I feel completely fine" he smiled as he looked at his health bar.

It would seem that both his health and mana bar were full. In fact, he realized her had leveled up, and his health and mana had actually increased. .

"Come with me. You had better come and see the other examiners with me" she said.

She pulled him out and summoned the other examiners. Their eyes popped open when they saw Loki standing them awkwardly smiling at them.

"You completely restored him?" asked the older gentlemen who seemed to be someone important in the academy.

"I didn't have to. He healed himself" she answered as they looked at her in shock.

The old man was the great wizard Merlin, head of recruitment and fellow peer of Orchid.

"Follow me." Merlin commanded. Sam followed Merlin back up to the platform as Orchid and a few other curious teachers followed.

He was asked to touch the crystal ball again, but this time, there was a bright light, then gray light, then nothing again.

"What’s wrong with this thing? Possible high affinity to life magic, mental then nothing again? If you have a high affinity to white magic, it explains the healing. But at the end it read nothing again" he said. "Very strange. I’ve never seen this before" he wondered.

Merlin finally decided. "Sam, you are invited as a probationary student to our Academy. I would like to do further tests on you. Do you accept? If you fail further, we will send you home. But you at least get to see and experience what normal people will never experience being in Celestial Academy. Do you accept?" asked Merlin.

"Celestial Academy? Yes I accept" Sam smiled eagerly. He had nothing better to do anyway.

As the testing had finished, Merlin used magic to project his voice to the crowd.

"Congratulations all who made it. Go home and tell your family the good news and come back here by the break of dawn on Saturday morning." he announced.

Then he nodded his head at Sam and left. Orchid smiled at him and said "You can keep the robe. I'm sorry that your clothes were ruined" Then she passed Sharon's handbag to him, gave him a few coins and left.

He looked at his robes and was pleased with it. It was obviously better than wearing Sharon's skirt and the torn shirt. He looked inside the handbag and he had all the stuff he brought over, including his handgun. Now he had a few coins as well.

He had a cheap meal at one of the inns and found out that today was Thursday and it was two days from Saturday.

Not knowing what to do or where to stay, he decided to go back out of the town to look for somewhere to stay until Saturday.

Chapter 11 - The Retest

Samsara awoke in a start, feeling a wonderful yet familiar feeling on his cock.

The last thing he remembered was gasping for air and feeling fear for his life as he felt an intense pain and shock looking at the spear through his chest and blood spurting everywhere from his neck.

But now, he was looking at Jemima’s beautiful face and body, riding inside her carriage. She nestled comfortably on his body, and he felt his cum all over his groin mixed with her juices.

“What’s going on?” he thought inwardly.

[You were revived at the last place you saved, which was in your Familiar]

“You mean the last time I fucked Jemima?” he asked

[Affirmative]

He rested and gathered his thoughts. If this is the last time he fucked her, that meant that they were on the way to Celestial City again, passing Willow. He recalled that this was the period where he was digesting information about this world and how things worked.

Both of them got cleaned up and dressed, sitting opposite each other innocently. Jemima kept looking at him with longing in her eyes.

In the meantime, he got her to demonstrate her powers to him. Although she was a genius at her age, she was merely at the age where most mages joined magic academies. So although she was naturally gifted and was thought by her parents, she could only cast minor illusions, cast confusion on people and put them to sleep.

She wasn’t powerful enough to read or control minds yet. 

She demonstrated the ability with Sam as her guinea pig, but each time she cast either illusion, sleep or confusion on him, as he snapped out of it, he found her either sucking on his cock or stroking it, preparing to fuck him again.

She was insatiable, trying every way to get his big cock into her again.

Suddenly, they heard Charlotte’s voice. “Your Highness, we are approaching the town of Willow”

“I will get out here Princess. I think I will explore this region a little bit more” Sam said, much to Jemima’s disappointment again.

She wanted to bring him back with her. In fact, she wanted to bring him back inside her.

“You know I can’t follow you back. But I promise, I will visit you” he said as he kissed her deeply and hugged her again. This was the second time he parted from her, and he half wished he could follow her. But he felt it necessary to join the Celestia academy to gain more abilities first.

“Please don’t forget your promise” she said hesitantly as she stared at him, in tears. He nodded and exited the carriage.

Charlotte and Annabeth looked at him strangely again as he exited the carriage and waved at them.

Annabeth entered the carriage and Jemima chased her out again, just like the previous time. .

Charlotte shook her head and commanded the carriage to move on and as they overtook him, he joined the line into Willow again.

This time, he paid more attention to the other people in line. He noticed the brutish red haired Heracles pushing his way through from the other side and he was accompanied by several older men who seemed to be his minders.

Several moments later from far, he could see a gigantic eagle landing and two extremely pretty brunettes got off the eagle together with their minders. As they waved goodbye to the eagle, and it flew off as they walked towards the line.

The girls looked like sisters with one slightly taller than the other. Both of them had gorgeous bodies, but in different ways. The taller one had slightly smaller breasts and was more athletic and confident looking while the slightly shorter one had bigger breasts and looked more open and innocent.

He listened to the talk around him and discovered that Heracles came from the Hellstorm clan, a famous family of fire mages hailing from the Hellstorm volcanic mountain ranges.

On the other hand, the sisters came from the Stormgate at the northern boundary of Eternia, where the weather is cold all year round. Their clan, the Guardians of Stormgate guarded the country from the ice giants and the Lord of Stormgate was their father.  

It would seem that these two groups came from prominent backgrounds as they were well dressed and had their own protection.

The taller girl found someone she knew and waved goodbye to her sister as she went to chat with one of the examiners. The shorter one approached the line that Sam was in.

The red haired Heracles noticed the pretty brunette and tried to chat her up. Although she was friendly to him, she didn’t really pay too much attention to him and excused herself to line up for the test.

Trying to win her favor, Heracles started pushing his way through the line that had queued behind Sam

As Sam gave his name “Samsara” to the old man behind the counter, Heracles was just behind him and Aria was right behind him.

Sam faced a dilemma as he went on stage and prepared to touch the crystal ball.

“What do I do? I’m still a level 2 with no abilities” he thought.

He stood in front of the ball for a long while when Heracles started heckling

“Hurry up! We are all waiting here!” he yelled

Sam sighed and touched the ball.

As expected, nothing. The examiner looked at him in shock as before. Really, there was someone with no magical aptitude at all.

Sam expected this so he shrugged his shoulders and walked off the stage past Heracles.

Heracles sneered and went for his turn. “Fire affinity, strong” announced the examiner as Sam smiled at the pretty girl waiting her turn.

Even though she had watched Sam fail the test, she still blushed as this handsome boy smiled at her. There was something magnetic about him that she was so distracted, she tripped on the last step up.

Sam caught her as she stumbled upon him, but his hands accidentally caught her large breasts. She gasped in shock and quickly got off him.

He suddenly realized what he had grabbed and started to apologize profusely.

Suddenly, he was shoved hard from behind, sending him flying off the stage onto the ground.

Heracles stood on the stage with rage in his eyes

“How dare you?” he yelled at Sam

Sam got up and looked at Heracles in rage. What was this guy’s problem?

Just as Heracles was about to jump off the stage using his fire abilities to propel himself at Sam with a jumping kick, the pretty brunette Aria cast a wind spell forming a wall in front of Sam.

Even though the wall of air negated much of Heracles’ force, his kick still managed to penetrate the wall and kick Sam.

In fact, the wind wall was like a bouncy ball, as the kick penetrated the wind wall, it bounced Sam reasonably far away.

However, the difference this time was that his ribs were not broken and he didn’t have blood spurting from his nose and mouth. However, it still pushed him far away, and his chest still hurt quite badly.

“What are you doing? I was going to teach this pervert a lesson” he yelled at Aria.

“It was an accident, he meant no harm. Anyway, I am not angry at him, why is it any of your business?” asked Aria loudly.

Sam slowly got up only to feel a piercing feeling in his chest and his right thigh. .

Aria screamed

As he landed in a slightly different position this time, the first spear didn’t go through his neck, instead entered his chest.

However, the other one that went through his heart the first time, pierced right through his right thigh.

Sam gurgled in pain as he looked at Aria running towards him. Blood flowed down from his mouth helplessly as he watched everything in slow motion.

The female healing mage who ran over immediately cast a spell to stop his blood flow and with the other examiners and instructors, they quickly brought Sam away from the field.

Aria remained behind crying as her minders approached her to comfort her, as did her sister later, who found out about the incident.

Wednesday 21 March 2018

Chapter 10 - The Test

Sam walked the remaining few hundred feet towards the town of Willow as Princess Jemima’s carriage continued it’s journey towards Celestial City.

When he reached near the town gates, he found that there was a long line formed to enter so he joined the line.

He kept his ears open and eventually found out from the conversations there was some form of test in the town for the teenagers of the surrounding area, thus the line was for people to queue up to apply for the test.

He joined the line for several minutes before he finally reached the gate of the town. The city guard looked at him and his ragged clothes and gave him a strange look.

He walked around the town, eavesdropped into people's conversation and found out a bit of what’s going on.

This town was having trials to see if their youths could enter Celestial Academy, in Celestia.

Although similarly sounding, Celestia was a different city than Celestial City, the capital of Eternia.

Celestia was actually a large academy city and was built to house and serve the Celestial Academy and was located several hundred miles away from Celestial City.

Celestial Academy was incredibly large and they were built to teach and train both cultivators and mages. However, they only accepted the best.

Celestial Academy was the official academy of the Kingdom of Eternia of which the capital was the Eternal City.

Loki watched as a long line to one table with an old man behind it, split into two lines that separated. One led to a platform with several instructors on it. They looked like experienced warriors and looked very intimidating.

The teenagers were required to spar with the instructors to see if they have any aptitude for fighting. There were tests for swordsmanship, hand to hand combat and archery. This line was obviously for the cultivators.

The other queue led to an elevated platform where teenagers were asked to touch a crystal ball in front of a seated old man, which lit up different colors for different types of magic.

The crystal looked like a magic ball those carnies use to tell the future. The brighter the light lit, the better the talent of the student in magical ability. Those with low glows, which were the majority of those tested, were rejected for the school of magic.

From what he could ascertain, red was for fire magic, green for wind magic, blue for water magic, yellow for earth magic, and there was one rare teen who had white for white magic. There were probably others, but these were the ones that were seen while he queued in line.

Sam knew he sucked at actual combat, having no combat experience and being easily trashed by Princess Jemima’s guards, so he decided to tryout for the mage test first.

He queued in line and finally reached the old man.

"Name and preference" the old man asked.

"My name is Sam Serra and I want to tryout for the magic school." he answered.

"Samsara eh? Strange name" said the old man as he gestured that it was his turn to go onto the stage and touch the orb.

“Samsara again? Is it my pronounciation that they cannot understand? Anyway, Samsara isn’t a bad name” he thought as he walked towards the stage in front of everybody.

He walked up onto the stage and announced his name “Samsara” and walked towards the crystal ball.

The girls in the crowd couldn't help stare. This boy was handsome to a frightening degree as they all couldn't help but drool when they looked at him.

He wore a torn up shirt with no sleeves, showing off his lean yet muscular arms, and many of the buttons of his shirt were missing, giving the girls in the crowd a glimpse of his 6 pack abs and wonderfully formed pectorals.

As he moved, there was something swaying and moving under his kilt or skirt that he was wearing causing the girls to all try to catch a glimpse of what was under there. It kept moving half a second after he moved, causing the skirt to move unnaturally as if a pendulum was moving between his legs.

All the men in the audience thought that this guy was shamelessly doing something to attract the girls as surely he couldn’t have such a big dick.

He slowly put his hand on the ball and waited. Everyone looked in anticipation, wondering how this strange yet gorgeous teen would do.

Nothing happened. No glow, no color, absolutely no reaction at all.

The examiner was puzzled. Everyone he has ever tested had some magical ability. Even non mages who were cultivators would show some affinity to an element or ability even if it was faint.

Although he had absorbed Jemima’s mental abilities, apparently his abilities still couldn’t be detected by this testing stone.

This kid didn't give any reading at all which was not possible, in his opinion. Even the freshly dead people will have a slight reading on them, as did animals or plants. Heck, even rocks would show a trace of earth magic on them. Yet he produced absolutely no results.

Sam looked at the ball and frowned.

“Surely something is wrong here. Why don't I have any magical aptitude? Wasn’t I supposed to be a magician?” he thought to himself.

The examiner stared at the orb for a long time and then at Loki. It was as if Loki was some sort of freak.

"Samsara. No affinity to magic" said the examiner as he shook his head. Although having no reading was incredibly strange, the parameters of the test were simple. He had failed.

"Heracles Hellstorm" stated a red headed teen of 16 loudly as he walked past Sam and pushed him aside.

He had bright red hair, and his clothes were all in a flame motif. He was jealous after finding out that the girls all swooned after Loki.

But now, everyone could see that Sam was simply trash, he wanted to show what a real hero looks like, not that pretty boy.

He placed his hands on the crystal ball and immediately it glowed a bright red color. "Fire affinity strong. Pass" announced the examiner.

As Heracles turned to walk off stage, he saw Loki with his face hung in disappointment slowly walking off stage.

Loki was actually communicating internally with the Nexus.

"Aria of the Storm" stated a pretty girl of 14 years of age as she walked on stage. She was an incredibly pretty brunette, with clear green eyes and a graceful body with surprisingly ample breasts. It seemed as if time stood still as the crowd gazed upon her beauty.

Although she wore a modest dress that covered her up, the dress seemed to accentuate every curve on her body, hiding nothing to the imagination.

The crowd whispered her name in awe. She was a famous beauty, daughter of the Lord of the Storm. They were a family famous for their air and water elemental abilities, who have been renown for summoning storms in battle, hence their name.

She looked at the handsome face of Sam who didn’t see her and was communicating with the Nexus while walking off the stage. As she didn’t see his test, she didn’t know what happened, but she couldn’t help but look at his handsome face and graceful body, admiring his abs and pectorals poking out of his torn shirt, and muscular arms.

Heracles stopped to stare at the beauty as she approached and touched the crystal ball.

It shone a bright green color. "Wind affinity, very strong. Pass" announced the examiner who was clearly impressed.

Heracles was too busy watching Aria, he bumped into Sam who was getting off the platform.

"Get out of here trash. Don't block the way of real mages" Heracles yelled as he shoved Sam offstage

Heracles was a much larger boy when compared to Sam, and his aggressive shove caused him to stumble forwards onto the archery field before falling down.

“What the fuck?” Sam got up angrily and looked at Heracles, who was still standing on stage.

“Trash shouldn’t talk back” said Heracles smugly as he leaped off the stage, a burst of fire shot from his fee propelling him like a jet towards Sam and delivering a impressive flying kick.

As the kick was augmented by Heracles’ jet propulsion from his feet, Sam flew about a hundred feet through the air into a field, his ribs shattered and blood was spraying from his nose and mouth.

Sam landed and rolled several meters. Just as he stopped rolling a spear was so happen in mid flight as it pierced his throat, while another pierced his chest.

Screams filled the air as Sam lay still in the middle of the field that they were testing the warriors, as a spear was through his neck and another through his chest.

"Halt all activity!" commanded an elderly person as he used his magical abilities to instantly float towards him.

Sam lay on the ground with his eyes open. His throat was cut right open and the other spear went directly through his heart. Blood was spurting out of his chest where the spear hit, clearly showing that his heart was pumping blood out of his chest.

Aria, together with the other female admirers of Sam, stood by in tears looking at the tragic scene.

Sam could see his health dropping on his health meter. He watched in horror as the meter started counting down from 10 to 0. Finally at zero, he lost consciousness.

By the time the healing mages arrived, it was too late. The head medical mage was a female instructor named Orchid who shook her head in sorrow. "He was only 16. That’s too young to die" she said as she sighed looking at how good looking he was, even in death.

As she examined him, she rested her hand on his thigh before reacting in shock, finally noticing that she wasn’t touching his thigh, rather something nearly as thick.

 “That cannot be. How can it be so big?” she thought as she dismissed the thought and brought the body to the medical tent

Chapter 9 - Journey to Willow

Sitting in the carriage, with the beautiful princess in his arms, Sam sat in contemplation.

While they fucked, they shared their minds, and he already read through her memories and found out more about her and this place.

She was Princess Jemima de Vandermillion, the 16 year old Princess of the Vandermillion Kingdom and was the youngest daughter of King Lucious de Vandermillion.

She was widely awknowledged as the most beautiful girl in her kingdom and most precious and favorite daughter of the King.

The Vandermillion family was a famous family of Mentalists. Her father is not only the king, but also the current Grandmaster of the Mental Force.

The Vandermillion family cultivates in the secret arts of the mind, and their style of fighting was feared by the other nations as they found it difficult to counter and very rare.

They could control their opponent’s mind, put them to sleep, cast illusions, read minds and only the very strong willed could escape their powers.

In the Fallen Realms, there are multiple ways to cultivate oneself. The Vandermillion technique was unique and a secret. They were probably not the only ones who could fight with their minds, but they were the most famous ones, with their ancestor forming a nation using his powers to conquer and rule.

This land was the country of Eternia, whereby the she was also a visitor passing by

Sam knew from her memories that Princess Jemima was traveling back from a royal wedding of the prince of the neighboring Kingdom of Armadasia. As her father was in cultivation, she attended the function in his stead.

During the wedding celebration, countless nobles tried to woo Princess Jemima, but as usual, she rejected them all.

Now, she was headed back to Celestial City, the capital of Eternia to use their teleportation portal to get back to her Kingdom of Vandermillion.

Sam also found out about the power scale in this realm from Jemima.

In general, the denizens of this dimension are between levels 0 to 100 with 0 being the lowest and 100 being the highest for mortals. Of course, this is the Nexus' more accurate measurements of the abilities here.

In the local measurements, 0-10 are Beginner level, 11-20 are Intermediate level, 21-30 are Advanced level, 31-40 are Master level, 41-50 are Grandmaster level, 51-60 are Saint level, 61-70 are Sage Level, 71-80 are Legendary Level, 81-90 are Immortal Level, 91-100 are Godly level.

The average villager or farmer would only be under level 10 in this realm. A good level mercenary will probably be around level 15-30 being either Intermediate or Advanced level. The levels of the guards guarding the carriage were each an average of 17 while Annabeth and Charlotte were around level 30 each.

Jemima herself was around level 22 herself, and she was regarded as a genius at her age. Her father, the legendary King Lucious was rumored to be a level 85, but even Jemima herself does not know.

Jemima herself was still young, and had not trained completely in her family arts yet. For comparison, an average mage that had graduated from a reputable magic academy would be roughly a level 30 while a truly genius level graduate or top fighter from an army barracks will be around level 35 to 40.

Of course, all these were guestimates based on Jemima’s knowledge. Sam could only accurately read Jemima’s level because she had become his familiar.

“Mortals have a maximum of level 100, how about beyond mortals?” Sam asked the Nexus.

[There are levels beyond would be for immortal level beings or mythical creatures or gods. However it would appear that for the people of this realm, perhaps that is the limit that they can reach]

[Furthermore, your potential is double, since you have both your own cultivation, as well as you will be able to learn the cultivation of this world]

Sam looked into Jemima’s memories and because of fucking her, he had already acquired her level of mental abilities.

Princess was considered a genius. At only 16 years old, she was already a level 22  in her family mental abilities.

At her level, it means that she would be able to influence all those at her level and below, and her level showed how many people she could influence. At her level, she could influence around 20 people with her skill at the same time.

It would also be possible for her to attack higher level opponents if they were not expecting her attacks, but they would be able to defend if their mental abilities were strong.

This meant that for all his other abilities, he was only the equivalent of a Level 2, as he had barely leveled up from fucking her. A level 2 is pathetically weak, like a villager who wasn’t particularly good at anything. A child would be more accurate to describe his skills, as he was neither physically strong and fast, nor had enough knowledge of this world to be considered clever or magically gifted.

However, now he had the skills of a Level 22 expert in the Vandermillion Mental abilities.

“That’s not too bad, at least I had a incredible jumpstart to my abilities” he thought to himself. 

[When you level up later on to a higher level than her, she will be automatically leveled up to your level the next time you fuck her. This will be useful as you progress through the realm] the Nexus added

“Oh” Sam nodded as he thought that it made sense. At least, compared to the games he played, he could have a familiar that was more powerful than himself.

“What does leveling up to level 2 for myself mean?” he asked the Nexus

[Leveling up to level 2 means that now you can summon another familiar. As Jemima is your first, you can summon another one.]

“Wait, every level I get 1 new familiar?” he asked, shocked.

[Affirmative. Is that not how it works in your games?]

“Erm…. Yes! You’re right. That is how it always works” he lied, laughing internally. He got another advantage in this realm.

[Furthermore, you now have 2 spell slots, and each spell will correspond to your level. So for example if you had a level 1 spell “Fireball” at level 1, now it is a more powerful level 2 spell]

“Oh! So now what spells do I have?” he asked the Nexus

[None. All skills and spells will have to be learned yourself.]

“Thought so” Sam mumbled.

[Don’t forget, you still have Jemima’s level 22 mental skills, so you are not entirely helpless]

 “That will be useful” he thought as the carriage appeared to be stopping.

“Your Highness, we are approaching the town of Willow” Charlotte’s voice said from the outside, not daring to open the carriage door. In essence it was a hint to get Sam out of the carriage. A commoner cannot be seen riding together with the princess, especially not one that dressed so shabbily.

“I will get out here Princess. I think I will explore this region a little bit more” Sam said, much to Jemima’s disappointment. She wanted to bring him back with her.

“You know I can’t follow you back. But I promise, I will visit you” he said as he kissed her deeply and hugged her.

“Please don’t forget your promise” she said hesitantly as she stared at him, trying to absorb every detail about his face. He nodded and exited the carriage.

Charlotte and Annabeth looked at him strangely as he exited the carriage and waved at them. What would Princess Jemima want to talk with him privately about? Why did she release his bonds?

Annabeth entered the carriage but Jemima chased her out, preferring to be alone.

Charlotte shook her head and commanded the carriage to move on. They overtook him bypassed Willow and headed towards the Celestial City which was still roughly two weeks away by carriage.

Chapter 8 - First Time


Inside the carriage, Sam found himself with only Princess Jemima and the elf guardian.

It was a female elf. She was very pretty but petite and she immediately tied up Sam’s hands behind his back. She was actually stronger than him and she bound him tightly, causing him to grunt in pain.

Jemima sat on the back end of the carriage sitting forwards while she threw Sam onto the seat facing the princess and facing backwards to the direction the carriage was moving.

Just as the Sam landed on his seat, the pretty elf sat next to him, both of them facing the princess.

“I believe you have met my minder, Annabeth my half-elf guardian” Princess Jemima said, introducing her minder.

Sam nodded looking at the half-elf. She was beautiful. This was the first person of another race he had seen in this realm, making him wonder if there are other races here besides elves and goblins. Maybe there were even dwarves.

Apparently they are being chased by goblins now and the carriage was traveling at fast speeds going over stones and rocks.

Just then, the carriage went over a large bump, throwing everyone into the air.

Sam, who was seated facing backwards was thrown face first towards Princess Jemima.

Since his hands were tied behind his back, he could only land face first into Princess Jemima’s crotch.

As she was thrown into the air too, she landed with her legs up and apart for a split second. But at that split second, Sam’s head entered her robe and his mouth landed on her pussy, discovering that she wasn't wearing anything underneath her robe.

He accidentally tasted her with his mouth directly on her sex and his huge penis became erect nearly automatically underneath his skirt. At that moment, he wanted to say something, only for his tongue to actually lick her pussy, which had only sparse blond pubic hair.

Princess Jemima gasped and screamed, quickly pushing him off her. Sam’s body flew backwards, and his head hit Annabeth on her jaw, knocking her out instantly.

He landed on the floor, with his hands still tied behind him when the carriage went over another large bump, causing Princess Jemima to fly off her seat and she landed right onto his lap.

Her legs were already open as his head was just between them, leaving her in a vulnerable position, and the skirt he was wearing was flung open by his fully erect penis as she impaled herself on his huge cock.

Sam gasped at the tight and warm feeling holding his cock tightly and Princess Jemima screamed when his huge cock penetrated her virgin pussy balls deep. They gazed at each other’s eyes and Sam realized that Jemima’s eyes were like she was in a trance, her beautiful light blue eyes staring at his soul.

[Level Upgrade. Level 2. Progress saved]

Sam was shocked, not only has he fucked for the first time, but he had been promoted to level 2. Furthermore, the pain from his injuries disappeared, and he realized that his health bar was full again, but was slightly bigger now.

The carriage continued moving fast as sounds of the female warriors outside continued fighting, but Sam remained on the floor, Princess Jemima still remained on him, his cock still embedded in her pussy.

This was the first time that Sam had ever had sex, and the first time he actually felt this enormous cock enter such a tight and juicy pussy. He immediately came inside her while she was still in shock at being impaled by such a large organ.

[Princess Jemima marked. Confirm Familiar?]

"Wha....??" wondered Sam as his mind was in a lustful daze looking at the popup in front of his eyes.

“I wanted to be a summoner. Can I summon a familiar now that I have leveled up?” he thought to himself, not realizing that he would bind Jemima as his familiar.

As the carriage continued moving, every bump and movement caused his huge cock to move and vibrate inside her.

"Yes... yes" he moaned, not realizing what he was doing.

[Confirmed]

Princess Jemima's eyes rolled upwards uncontrollably as she moaned. As Sam confirmed her to be his familiar, suddenly both of them felt each other’s senses, overwhelming them with pleasurable sensations that both of them were feeling.

Not only were their senses shared, the power of his erect cock overwhelmed her with lust she could not control, causing her body to be in a state of extreme excitement and the pleasure sensations in her brain to be overwhelmed.

Losing control of herself, she gave in to her urges as she bent over and kissed him passionately as they fucked and she started moving her hips up and down fucking him to the rhythm of the moving carriage.

She kissed him lustfully, rubbing her breasts all over his chest as she forcefully rammed her cervix on his cock.

Sam was getting confused, feeling both his own sensations as well as Princess Jemima's, completely overwhelming him as well.

He had no choice but to give in to his lust. The princess was fucking him with wild abandon, and his rock hard cock was completely seemed to be impossible to sate.

After several minutes of intense fucking, they both climaxed simultaneously in a huge orgasm. Cum overflowed from her pussy as she continued fucking him lustfully as if in a trance.

Her tight pussy milked him for ever drop of cum he had. Finally, he came into her so much, he couldn't cum anymore and she rested on his body, their sweat mixed together on his body. Slowly, as minutes passed, his cock became limp inside her as he tried to control his breathing.

As his cock softened, he could see her eyes suddenly realizing what happened, looking at him in utter shock and horror.

“Please.. please get off me” Sam said, as his arms were still tied behind his back in an uncomfortable position.

Princess Jemima regained her senses and quickly got off his cock, groaning as the last inch exited her body. It popped out and cum flowed out of her pussy all over him.

She looked at him in fear and confusion, not understanding what happened to her, causing her to lose control of herself like that. She also was horrified at the ramifications of losing her virginity to an unknown stranger.

“Damn, what a mess” he thought, seeing his cum with a small trace of blood drip down from Jemima’s pussy right onto his body as she stood up.

He looked at the gorgeous princess, and in his mind wished that she would clean him up with her pretty mouth.

Princess Jemima stared at his semi erect cock and immediately crouched down and sucked his cock clean with her mouth.

Sam was in shock. A beautiful princess was cleaning him with her mouth and swallowing up all his cum.

Not only that, he was feeling the sensations of her mouth on his large cock, while she was feeling the experience of having one’s cock sucked. Before long, he came into her mouth again and she sucked and swallowed it all up.

Again, she quickly regained her senses and she quickly covered his cock with his skirt and redressed herself, her face completely blushed.

Sam finally managed to separate their senses, and in his mind, he was able to minimize her vision to a smaller screen. He was still looking from his own and her perspective, but he wasn’t overwhelmed anymore.

As for her, she was not able to think for herself, no longer feeling his thoughts and sensations.

"What... what did you do to me?" she whimpered

"I... I'm tied up. I didn't do anything. It was you that..." he said.

"Please.. say no more" she said again, with tears in her eyes as she touched her sore pussy.

“Ahem. Lets pretend like nothing happened. Behave like you normally would” he ordered.

Princess Jemima looked conflicted with his statement but nodded obediently and went back to her seat, recomposing herself.

Sam was stunned as he realized that the princess was obediently obeying his every command, even his mental ones. Although she still retained her free will, but as if she was bound by him, his every command was obeyed.

He got up and sat down on his seat opposite her again. They sat uncomfortably for several minutes in silence as Annabeth slowly regained consciousness and looked around rubbing her jaw.

Seeing both Princess Jemima and Sam seated opposite each other and the carriage by now was already slowing down.

“Are you alright Annabeth?” asked Princess Jemima.

“Yes, what happened?” Annabeth asked

“We had a rough ride and you were knocked out. But now the carriage seems to be slowing down” Jemima answered.

Annabeth nodded then abruptly moved out of the carriage to check the situation.

Moments later, she reemerged into the carriage. .

Annabeth sat down and reported the situation. “We appear to have outrun the goblins your Highness” she said as the carriage slowed to normal speed.

Sam sat awkwardly in front of Princess Jemima, and she in turn sat quietly in front of him, as if waiting for his response. But with Annabeth next to him, he didn’t say anything.

“If only I could get Annabeth to leave the carriage for some privacy” he thought to himself.

“Just keep on lookout outside Annabeth. You can leave us for a while. I want to speak to Samsara in private” Jemima ordered.

Annabeth nodded and stepped outside, moving to the top of the carriage. Charlotte quickly reported that they had successfully outrun the goblin, but it was not wise to stop in the middle of the forest and they should continue their journey.

The princess nodded and the contingent started moving again, with only Princess Jemima and Sam in the carriage.

Although both Annabeth and Charlotte didn’t trust Sam to be alone with the Princess, they nevertheless obeyed her order. At least he didn’t seem to mean to cause her harm.

Sam looked at Princess Jemima as she sat quietly in front of him.

“What… what will happen to Princess Jemima now?” he asked the Nexus

[Princess Jemima will remain as her current self. However, she is now your Familiar. You can summon her at any time, or claim her if she dies.]

“What? Claim her if she dies? What does that mean?” he asked, shocked at the statement

[All familiars will be revived in the Nexus after a week. All injuries will be healed within 48 hours]

“That’s great” thought Sam to himself as he continued looking at Princess Jemima as she in turn continued staring at him with her pretty eyes.

“Er… Jemima?” he addressed her.

“Yes?” she replied.

"Lets pretend like the whole thing never happened” he said.

“Yes.. yes of course. But...” she said and bit her lip.

“Is there… is there anything you need?” he looked at her, feeling as if she wanted something but could not say it.

“Yes… I really need you inside me again” she said lustfully.

The statement made his cock stand straight in attention again, and he nodded as she greedily sucked and fucked him again while the journey continued.

“Maybe this new world isn’t so bad after all” Sam thought to himself.
