6 A Helping Hand

*Huff* *Huff*

"Urlgan...I…can't… run anymore."

Completely exhausted, I collapse to the ground, not caring how I look. I see some notifications flashing, and with a grunt and shaky hand, I open them up.

I had run for an hour and a half. I wasn't the best runner, and I was regretting it. Now that I think about it, I don't even know if real-life endurance would even come over into the game. Urlgan walked over to me, laughing. He held out his and helped me up and gave me a leather pouch with water.

"Not bad rookie. I didn't expect you to make it that far. Rest up for a bit, next I'll teach you some hand to hand combat. You may not always have a weapon on you, so sometimes you have to engage with your fists.

Ten minutes later, I was sparring with Urlgan.

"Remember, when striking with a fist, you have to keep your wrist straight. You might end up injuring it if you don't do it correctly.

"Don't lock your knees and bounce on the balls of your feet. This will allow you to move better."

I spent a while training and called it a day as the sun was starting to set. I decided to walk around town and get a better lay of the area just so I don't get lost. As I was walking around, I caught a conversation between two players.

Player 1: "So I heard that when you logout, you have to do it someplace like and inn."

Player 2: "You do? Whys that?"

Player 1: "Its because your body stays in-game and you have to log out in a safe area else people can loot you. But I also heard towns count as safe places too."

After hearing this, I decided I should log out at an inn. I continued my exploration while also looking for a place to log out. I found some restaurants that looked good and would check out later. After some time, I found an inn that looked decent enough.

Walking inside, I found the first floor to some sort of dining area as what looked like waitresses walked around serving food. I walked up to one of them asked them about a room. Paying 7 gold, I was handed a key to a room on the third floor.

"We also have a bathhouse outback you can relax in as well."

"Ok. Thank you."

I head upstairs and find my room. I don't actually need to use the key to unlock as I found it just does it for you. I walk inside and sit on the bed and look around the room.

(A little small, but it is very homely.)

I then realize that I don't actually have anything to unpack as I can use the inventory feature. With that, I take off the leather parts of my armor and store them in my inventory. I decided this would be an excellent time to check out the baths.

Arriving inside the bath, I am greeted by an elderly woman. She seems to be keeping watch at the baths as they are separated by gender. I begin to move towards the female side but then stop as I remember my gender.

"Excuse me, miss?"

I speak to the woman to get her attention as I don't know what side I need to use.

"Hello dearie. Ah, I see you are an elf. Well you are free to choose either side. Can't really restrict your kind unless we built a third bath."

"Oh, I see. Well, then, thank you."

I decided to go to the female side to bathe. It was set up like the bathhouses in Japan. I did enjoy those when I used to live there. I am glad to experience it again, even if it is in a game. I undress and put my clothes up, then I grab a towel and go to the washing area.

Washing my body was really hard to do. Having a penis is something I am not used to. I tried to avoid touching it, but every time I looked at it, I always got curious.

(I wonder what it feels like. Should I…?)

I was slowly reaching my hand towards when a sound brought me out of my thoughts. I heard the woman speaking with someone in the front. Panicking, I quickly rinsed off and made my way to the hot bath.

(What was I thinking? Bad Sarah.)

While in my own thoughts, I see a woman walk in the bath. She looked like she was a catgirl with short black hair and two black cat ears on her head with a cute tail. She had delicate tan skin, plump butt, and a nice pair of breasts. They would easily fit my hand without excess. She looked over at me, and I then realized I was staring and quickly looked away.

(What the hell am I thinking? Since when did I look at girls like that?)

I closed my eyes and slouched down, trying to calm the beast that was stirring in between my legs. I sat there for a few minutes with my own thoughts when a sound woke me back up. I saw the catgirl sitting next to me, staring at me.

"Did you enjoy staring at me?"

Embarrassed I looked away to avoid eye contact

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare at you."

"I don't mind if its someone cute like you."

"Thanks…I think. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't like other girls in that way."

The girl laughs and inches closer towards me.

"Other girls? That implies you are a girl IRL. I'm surprised you chose to play an elf."

"Don't make fun of me. I didn't realize elves were so…special."

The girl started to rub her hand on my thigh and whispered into my ear.

"Can I see just how special elves are?"

The stimulus from her hand and from her breath on my ear sent a shock through my body. I started to feel a sensation I never felt before coming from my loins. Embarrassment spread throughout my face as I quickly covered up my face.

"Oh! Looks like you really are special. Looks like I made things hard for you. I'll help make it a bit easier."

The girl grasped onto my erection and started to move her hand up and down. The alien experience was making me lightheaded as I weakly tried to stop her.

"No…stop…I…"

"Shhh. It's ok. I am just helping you out."

She had said to me as she grabbed the back of my head and gently pulled me in for a kiss. I tried resisting, but I soon found my tongue in her mouth, dancing with hers. I noticed I was jerking my hips in rhythm to her hand.

"Here, why don't you help me out as well."

She moved my free hand down to her vagina. At first, I resisted, but then I slowly started to explore her mound. My thumb brushed up against her clit, and she moaned softly in my mouth. Seeing her reaction only excited me more, and my fingers became eager to explore her depths.

I pumped my fingers in and out of her, feeling her sticky wetness gather on my hand. We separated from our deep kiss, and she started to stroke me faster. I saw her perky breasts bounce slightly as she was grinding against my fingers.

I looked down at her lightly toned abs and licked her from her stomach up to her perky brown nipple. I began to suck on it as both of us started to thrust our hips faster, getting in tempo with each other.

"Oh god! I'm cumming!" She had screamed out as she collapsed on me and bit down lightly on my neck.

I felt myself orgasm as well and started to see some white material float on the water. We laid there for a few moments, each of us trying to catch our breath. My euphoria had finally died down, and the realization of what had happened just hit me.

I quickly stood up and spoke to the dazed girl.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that. I…need to go."

I quickly dash to the changing area and get dressed before rushing back to my room.
