Amazon Apocalypse: Chapter 36
🕑 Added 2023-04-29 15:01:01 +0000 UTCSakura and I sat together in my farmhouse, the weight of our concerns pressing down on us. I tried to reassure her. "Humanity can handle the goblins," I said. "There were people nearly as strong as you back in Crownhill. They'll manage."
Her troubled eyes met mine. "But goblins are just the beginning. What comes after them?"
I sighed, fingers threading through my hair. "That's exactly what I'm worried about too. We need to adapt, grow stronger. It's about facing whatever challenges lie ahead."
Her voice wavered. "Carter, I'm worried about my father. I need to get to him."
I placed a hand on her shoulder, offering support. "We'll do whatever we can. I promise."
She sent me a shy, half-hearted smile in reply and returned my comforting gesture with a small peck on the cheek. Sakura left to work a little more on tanning some of the hides we’d collected and grind levels for her job. She left me behind in our farmhouse after a quick lunch, and I scratched my head, trying to figure out what to do with the goblins.
I didn't want to execute them, and the only other option the System provided me was enslavement. The thought made me uneasy, but it was better than the alternative.
Fortunately, I figured out I could at least ease up the deal. Between this and the options available when I'd gotten the Obelisk, the System seemed to want to push me in the direction of being some sort of totalitarian absolute monarch. I’d witnessed it trying to nudge me in the same direction with Crownhill.
But the option I was looking for was buried deep within my menus. It turned out I could ease up on requirements significantly, and I pared them all the way down to a mere year of labor on my behalf, not to exceed ten hours per week and not to endanger their lives. That was a fair deal for sparing them and letting them keep living where they were while I protected the entire valley from monsters. And if it ever ended up being too much for them, they could just leave the mountain and they'd be free. The System very reluctantly downgraded my victory to an Indentured Servitude contract.
While still kind of slavery by name, it was already a far better deal than former world governments gave out to convicts or prisoners of war, so I was happy with it.
The only issue was I’d have to think of something for the goblins to do, but with small nimble hands I was sure there was some simple work they could tend to. Perhaps I’d set them to fixing my garden or harvesting wild-grown herbs or arcanist materials from the valley.
The idea of enslaving goblins, though, brought a few nagging questions to mind. What would happen if a goblin tribe forced a group of humans to surrender? I doubted they'd be as merciful as I was. The mental image of tiny goblin taskmasters whipping people into submission was almost comical, but it left a sour taste in my mouth. I would have to make sure my fellow humans won wherever I could aid them.
This new world was a scary and unfamiliar place, and danger lurked everywhere. It would be generations before humanity had truly gotten the hang of living with the System. This was just one more thing I'd need to ask Myrina about the next time I saw her.
I sighed, deciding to push my moral qualms aside for the time being. I had bigger fish to fry, and frankly, a few goblin helpers might come in handy, assuming they could overcome their crippling fear of Sakura and me.
As I mulled over my options, I figured I might as well craft some basic items from natural materials. While they wouldn't do much individually, they'd set the stage for more advanced creations down the road. And, not to mention, it would give my Arcanist job some much-needed experience. To my surprise, the goblins turned out to be quite the helpful little assistants when they weren’t cowering in terror. When I asked Gobgob to scrounge up materials, she rallied the others to pitch in. She was quickly becoming my point of contact with the small goblin tribe.
"Gobgob find things for Humie!" she said, her voice quivering, but her determination evident.
It seemed that goblins were quite the hoarders. They already had most of the naturally-occurring supplies I needed, saving me from having to scavenge for them myself. With their support, I started working on a few foundational items that would be useful for a lot of future crafts, as well as give me a few valuable early levels for making them.
First up was treating some copper wire to be magically conductive. A small alchemical bath and a couple of notches was all I needed, since copper conducted magic nearly as well as electricity as it was. Silver was better, and that was what most Arcanists preferred, but I had to stick with what I had. As I twisted and shaped the magically conductive wire, Gobgob watched with fascination. "Shiny wire, Humie. What do?" she asked, her eyes wide.
"It can transmit magical energy," I explained, "allowing me to create complex magical devices, circuits, or even traps. You'll see some cool stuff later, Gobgob."
Next up was the Arcanist's glue. As I mixed and stirred the concoction, a few goblins gathered around, eyeing the sticky substance warily.
"Sticky, sticky. What Humie make?" one goblin inquired, poking at the glue with a twig.
"It's a magical adhesive," I replied. "It can bond nearly any two materials together and repair broken magical items. Trust me, it's going to be really useful."
Lastly, I focused on creating an enchanted metal alloy. Like the wire, this was mostly dipping a strip of steel in a solution brewed using magical ingredients. The magic slowly seeped from the solution to the metal. Hopefully without too much rust. Gobgob watched my every move.
"Strong metal, Humie? Very tough?" Gobgob asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Yep, it's both lightweight and durable. It's perfect for crafting weapons, armor, and other equipment," I explained, enjoying their captivated attention.
As I busied myself with these projects, the Gobgob observed with keen interest, occasionally stepping in to help or offering a random trinket they believed might be useful. They ended up being far more helpful than I ever would have guessed.
Item crafted: Magically conductive wire.
Item crafted: Arcanist’s glue.
Item crafted: Enchantment ready metal alloy.
Your Arcanist Job has advanced to level 4!
“Well done everyone!” I congratulated myself and my goblin helpers. Gobgob let out a small clap, and the others reluctantly followed suit.
“What now?” Gobgob asked.
I frowned. “Are there any threats in your patch of forest I should know about?”
Gobgob nodded. “Yes. Many scare scare.”
“Good. I’m going to get Sakura, and you can lead me to them.”
***
With Sakura by my side, we prepared to venture into the goblin's side of the woods, but Gobgob seemed nervous about going deeper into the forest.
"Bad monsters are in there! They eat you!" she warned, her voice trembling.
I grinned in reply. "Don't you worry. You're standing right beside two terrifying humies, remember?"
Gobgob hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded, swallowing her fear as she led us into the forest. We told the other goblins to return to their tribe, as they’d all be more trouble than they were worth. They were far too frightened to even stand near a fight, and Gobgob would be enough of a liability as it was.
As we encountered and hunted down several more monsters, it became clear why Gobgob had been so terrified of us. We took care of several notable creatures I'd never heard of. Presumably, they'd come from the Goblin's homeworld. None of them were over level 10, so they didn't cause much trouble.
The Razorbeaks were the first to go, though Gobgob knew them by their goblin names. The menacing bird-like creatures swooped down at us, but Sakura and I quickly dispatched them. "You... you crushed bitebites!" Gobgob exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock. I decided to stick with the System's name for them.
Next, we came across a pack of Shadowstalkers. These stealthy predators were difficult to spot, but Sakura's I heard the crackling of leaves underpaw just in time. We eliminated them with a combination of my magical attacks and her swift swordplay. "Killed darkhunts!" Gobgob stammered, clearly impressed.
Finally, we confronted the Venomspitters. These reptilian creatures spat venom from a distance, but we closed in on them and swiftly put an end to their threat. "And killed bad spitters!" Gobgob shook her head in disbelief. "The terrifying beasties are no match for humies…"
Throughout the fights, Gobgob's fear was evident, and Sakura took the time to comfort her, patting her on the back reassuringly. "Don't worry, Gobgob. We've got this," she said with a warm smile.
As we continued, Sakura commented with a flirtatious wink, "I've gained a lot of levels now. Levels to burn." She playfully touched my arm, making her intentions clear.
I took the hint. We returned to the farmhouse, but I warned her, "Don't get too addicted to me draining levels from you."
She waved off my concerns, grinning. "I don't care. I love being drained of levels."
As Sakura and I bantered playfully, Gobgob happened to peer in on our conversation. She watched us for a moment, then nodded in approval. "It is good to be rewarded with bumpy-bump pleasure time with chief," she said with a knowing grin. "Gobgob never won WubWub's favor like that. You lucky."
Sakura and I exchanged amused glances before bursting into laughter.
“Alright, Gobgob. You can go back and join the others. Sakura and I will be fine on our own,” I said, still struggling to stifle my amusement.
Gobgob ran off as fast as her little legs would carry her, and as soon as she was out of sight, Sakura swept her toned arm around my back and guided me back home.
“You’re not escaping me this time!” Sakura whispered. “The bonuses from before are starting to wear off…”
***
We lay in bed together, her firm, toned body atop mine. Her jet-black hair cascaded over my chest as she lowered her head to brush her lips against mine. Heat rose between us as our tongues intertwined and explored each other’s mouths.
Sakura’s gaze softened as I caressed the sensitive horn on her forehead. My fingertips brushed down to the nape of her neck and then back up to the side of her face before settling to cup her chin. She moaned softly at my touch, and I felt a wave of delight course through her body.
Her hands moved down my torso and onto my hips, drawing circles around them with her fingertips before sliding further downwards to grip my shaft firmly in both hands. I bit back a moan as she slowly stroked me with a knowing expertise that could only be born from desperate desire. Now that I thought about it, every time we'd been about to fuck something had gotten in the way. Spending so long with such a beautiful woman had done a number on me, and I was as stiff as a board. But Sakura had it even worse.
With a swift tug, she ripped her pants off and stood before me in all her glory. I gasped at the sight of her glistening wetness, exposed by the sheer absence of panties.
"Going commando now?" I chuckled, feeling her smooth curves pressing into my body as she crawled on top of me and smothered my neck with hot kisses.
"You kept making them so wet they were useless to me," Sakura whispered, dripping with desire.
I chuckled before moaning in pleasure as she shifted her hips, positioning herself over me. Our eyes locked and I felt my own energy mix with hers, a passionate force that was determined to take us both to the finish line.
Little by little her body slid onto mine, the smooth wetness of our union driving me wild with desire. Her legs trembled as we rocked back and forth, grinding against each other, letting nature take its course.
The sensation was overwhelming, as was the intensity of her aggressive lust. She leaned forward and kissed me with a hunger I had never seen in her. Sakura thrust herself against me, greedily devouring my cock before I could even tease her with it.
Sakura grabbed my hands and pressed them against her sides as she began to rock back and forth on top of me. The sensation was overwhelming as was the intensity of her aggressive lust.
I started to pull my hands away from her hips to roam over her breasts, but I soon discovered her grip was as strong as steel. She really had been putting a lot of points into strength.
As Sakura's gaze washed over me, filled with such potent longing, I felt a thrill of excitement, tinged with a hint of trepidation. My heart raced as I realized that this woman was not just powerful — she was also incredibly dangerous.
Of all people, I knew the havoc that toned body could wreak among our enemies. In a contest of pure brute strength, she could crush anyone I'd ever met.
I was the more powerful of the two of us thanks to my magic and my many spells, but I was more of an agile ranged fighter than a melee combatant. With Sakura so close I was at a decisive disadvantage.
From the grin on her face, she'd come to the same conclusion I had, and she was liking her position of power.
"This magic cock is mine," Sakura grinned as she held my hands on her hips.
For a moment, I worried I'd made a grave mistake picking my special charisma skill. But I met her challenge with a stern and even gaze, a plan already forming in my mind. "We'll see about that."
Having a Fabulous Phallus might prove to be a mixed blessing. Sakura loved it, but from the look in her eyes I worried she might come to love it a bit too much.
Some men might enjoy being on the receiving end of such desperate and overwhelming attention. I wouldn't blame them for it. Any many would be blessed to see a woman look at them with such bottomless passion.
But I would not allow myself to be the plaything of anyone, even someone who cared for me as much as Sakura. Her grip on my wrists was strong. Stronger than I could break with my physical stats alone. But I had a trick that would grant me the edge. The very cock she craved so much would soon be her downfall.
Fabulous Phallus skill activated.
I felt an intense warmth rush over me and radiate outward from my loins, coursing through a thousand nerve endings. Sakura gasped in pleasure, and I knew what she was feeling was even more intense than what I was experiencing.
"Oh god!" She let out a long moan.
The pleasure that gripped her body was like nothing she'd ever experienced before. Her screams filled the air as riding my cock became ten times as pleasurable, her eyes rolling back in blissful ecstasy. I could feel every shudder that passed through her body, and I knew she was in heaven.
Sakura was dog with her favorite treat, and I had just given her as much as she could take. She held me close for dear life as wave after wave of pleasure crashed over her. Her spine quaked as she reached her climax, and she held herself down to envelop my full length as her spine shook and quivered.
The convulsions of her orgasm shook me to my core and threatened to throw me over the edge as well, but I resisted the urge. I feared shooting my load while she was on top would give her the wrong idea about our bedroom relationship.
No, I was the one with the fabulous phallus. Not her. She received the dicking down that I gave her. She wasn't the dominant one, I was. And soon I would prove that any semblance of control she thought she had was only there because I thought it was fun to let her think she was in charge, only sweep that power out from under her for my own amusement.
You have drained a class level from Sakura!
Scholar of Forbidden Knowledge is now level 17.
Sensitive and shaking, Sakura picked up speed again. She was horny in more ways than one, and she'd only begun to satiate her barely restrained lust.
Her grip on my hands slackened, both from her reduction in strength from the loss of a level, and from her cock-addled blissful mental state.
I took over, compensating for her slower and sloppier riding with thrusts of my own. My grip tightened on her waist, guiding her up and down my length with increasing vigor.
Sakura's head flew back as I worked her body. She was in a trance, addicted to the pleasure I could give her. Addicted to me.
With one deep, shuddering thrust, Sakura cried out in rapturous bliss. Her body shook as every muscle tensed and then relaxed with a shudder as she finally let go of all restraint, surrendering to the pleasure that only I could give her.
You have drained a level from Sakura!
Congratulations! Human has advanced to level 22.
And as she came again, all strength left her body and she hung limp in my arms, helpless within my grasp. I shifted my hips on the bed, twisting the two of us so we switched positions, with her beneath me and me on top.
I pressed my cheek against hers so I could whisper in her ear.
"You said this was your cock? Well, I'm willing to give it to you. But in exchange, these are my perky tits," I ran my fingers across her breasts, over her waist, past her rump, and between her thighs. "My tight ass. And my dripping cunt. Does that sound like a fair deal to you?"
Delirious, Sakura let out a mumbled word of agreement.
"Mhmm... yes Carter..." Sakura moaned, body twisting and shaking as the head of my cock teased her sensitive clit.
She was too far gone for more coherent thought than that. I grinned in triumph and adjusted my grip on her body, preparing to fuck her with all the strength and passion I had pent up inside me.
This time I set the pace and tempo, and Sakura writhed beneath me, an instrument of desire for me to do with as I pleased. The fierce oni barbarian who'd dragged me to bed was defeated, and in her place lay a woman made completely mine.
I leaned forward, pulling her body against mine as I pounded into her slick, pleading depths with all my might. She cried out and moaned in pleasure with each thrust, desperate for more of my magic cock. And I answered her pleas with pure unbridled vigor, pushing us both ever closer to the edge until the wave of pleasure crashed upon us both.
She moaned, hands gripping the sheets with the last of her diminished strength as I held onto her body and took ever more from her.
She reached another orgasm, eyes rolled up into the back of her head and mind completely absent save for her begging pleads that I play with her more.
You have drained a level from Sakura!
Congratulations! Human has advanced to level 23.
Sakura was now fully mine, and both of us knew it. With a satisfied smile on my face, I rolled off of Sakura and spooned up behind her, feeling contentment wash over me as she melted into my embrace.
Author's Note:
I'm thinking Carter's women at least trying to take control in the bedroom (And then failing) might be a recurring theme in the story, since it is "Amazon" Apocalypse. And Carter does literally have a magic dick. Let me know what you guys think.
What kind of smut scenes are you most looking forward to? I'd like to get back to some of the smut scenes that Spellheart readers really liked, since there was a bit of a dearth of sexual content in Paladin.
