--AN) One more on the way!--
Both Sally and Alice shivered thinking about that scene. The thought of how the receptionist suddenly seemed to be controlled by something was truly frightening to them like what if they get controlled? "Can we please not talk about this?" Alice asked.
Vance looked over to see Alice's frightened expression and said: "While it might be creepy and even frightening, it is something we will probably run into a lot, so you both need to get used to it."
Alice frowned but still did not say anymore. She did not want to deal with those things anymore, but if she wanted to stay with Vance, she realized she would see it a lot. It was already very strange for her to have a system she could use to level up with. She could grow stronger over time, but it still scared her to think that some being might control her somehow. She could only think of it as some kind of being since she did not know what it was.
The group did not just sit around all day. Vance and the girls went around killing monsters. While they were not giving them experience points, they were, at the very least, giving them materials, which Vance was trying to gather enough to start making everyone proper armor. Sally was the only one with armor, and when Vance looked at it, he saw it only gave defense and nothing else.
There were no bonuses to it. Out of curiosity, he did check their underwear to see if they gave any stats but sadly, the whole the less you wear, the more armor you get myth was busted. It gave no stats and a knock on the head.
When night came, the girls stayed at Vance's side as they wanted to watch what was going on. "See how it is just slowly walking from point a to point b randomly?"
"It is very strange but not as scary as the receptionist." Alice pursed her lips. She watched as the treant sproutgoon walked up to them and did not even try to attack before turning and walking someplace else. "It is like it can not see us…."
"Mmmm… you two stay and watch." Vance gave each girl a kiss on the cheek before drawing his sword and exiting the hut. As soon as he did, the treant sproutgoon let out a strange sound before running at Vance. Its stick like arms raised up and shot out towards Vance, stabbing toward his chest.
Vance easily waved his arm and cut the twigs like worms down, which took a lot of health from the unique monster. After all, Vance was quite overpowered at this time with his current gear and was also twelve levels above it. He quickly killed the Phantasmal Forest Treant Sproutgoon, which fell to the ground and turned into balls of light, leaving behind multiple items on the ground. One was a bow, while the other was a pair of gloves. There were also a few pieces of wood material.
"This? Monsters drop items!? No, no, it disappeared as the other worlders do!" Alice cried out. She was very confused about this!
Vance only smiled as he picked up the bow on the ground.
[Phantasmal Bow]
[Rarity: Rare]
[+30 Damage]
[+5 Agility]
"Alice here." Vance handed over the bow to Alice, who took it in her hand and looked at it. It was brown and did not look like much, but when she saw the stats on it, she was very surprised! "This…."
"It's still under level for you, but it is better than the bow you have now and should give you a bit of a boost. We will work on getting you better things once I get the materials to start crafting weapons." Vance explained as he took the gloves and handed them to Sally. "These are for you."
[Phantasmal Gloves]
[Rarity Rare]
[+50 Defense]
[+ 10 agility]
"It only dropped two items, and compared to your current gloves, these are much better," Vance explained with a smile.
Sally looked at the gloves that were brown in color with pursed lips. "Is there a way to change the color?"
"Sally, let me tell you now, at low levels, we will also be wearing mismatching things of all kinds of colors. This is because we only care about the stats and nothing else. It is all part of the path to growing strong. But once I can make sets of armor, we can decide on the color of the armor ourselves." Vance explained.
"Oh…." Sally took the gloves and put them away. She then looked up at the moonlight and smiled. "Then I will be waiting on you to make me something good."
Vance nodded and slipped his arms around both girls and lifted them up, causing them both to squeal! "For now, you two will become my toys tonight!"
"Ahh! A bandit is going to have his way with us!" Alice cried out in a monotone voice, causing Vance to chuckle. Vance entered the hut and stomped his foot, causing an earth wall to block the entrance before gently putting Sally on the ground and then putting Alice over his knee and smacking her butt. "Ahhh! Why are you really becoming a bandit!?"
"Didn't you want to role play?" Vance asked with a cheeky grin causing Alice to wrinkle her nose. She lay across his lap while pouting. But she soon felt a hand slip up her thigh, causing her eyes to widen before spreading her legs for the invader. Sally shook her head as she saw how quickly Alice submitted to Vance, but she didn't say anything because she would also do the same. As long as it was Vance and no one else was around, she would allow it!
Vance pulled Alice's panties off and rolled her over, so she was now facing him. Her cheeks were flushed as she lay there looking up at him. He grinned and began teasing her, causing her to bite her lower lip and began to moan. Sally couldn't take it anymore and stripped and leaned over and began kissing Vance while Vance teased one of her breasts. The trio's noises floated out into the night, scaring away any monsters that came near.
