(A/N here at the top because I have too much to say.
I’d like to start off by saying the only reason I continue to write this story is because of your support, so thank you. While liking futa’s isn’t the most niche fetish, this novel will never pay the bills when it goes premium.
With that out of the way, I’d like to take a census on who would prefer Jas to willingly bottom or strictly be a top from now on. I’m talking completely consensually.
Please leave your decision in the comnts below.
PS: I’m also an idiot and forgot to put what skill Jas got from Emily a Chapter ago, so that will be at the top of this Chapter instead. I’d go back and edit it, but I don’t expect the people already caught up to go back and read it. Forgive !
And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.)
———————————————————
(Skill Thief Activated... rolling ’Emily Dell’s’ skills... random skill [Small Blades (17)] selected.)
"I already have this stupid fucking skill!" —Jas Cromwell, a day ago.
———————————————————
The dungeon entrance was a lot different from what Jas had expected.
In the ga, dungeons were portrayed as a map marker and nothing more. Once you clicked on it, you’d be instantly teleported inside.
In front of him was a stone platform, built with pale white marble. In the center of the platform was a floating blue gem.
There were pillars in the four corners that realistically depicted various monster faces, it was as if the monsters themselves had been turned to stone.
As they stepped up onto the platform, Jas couldn’t hear.
He almost fled back down the few steps when he heard the other won breathing.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t hear, but the platform completely blocked all the forest noises with so sort of invisible barrier.
It was a strange sensation to see plants moving in the wind and not hear the rustling of leaves.
Susan was fingering one of the pillars and Jas heard her speak softly.
"Definitely a ’Wave’ dungeon.."
When she turned back to look at him, her eyes were big in concern.
’Her worry is starting to make worry..’
"Sooo, how do we start it?"
"Most tis, the party leader will just place their hand on the gem over their. Since I’m new to your group and serve under you, I won’t take charge unless you want too. Personally, I’d recomnd Justine, her class buffs work a lot better as party leader."
This sounded good to Jas and he nodded to his slave.
"It’s all yours, if everyone’s ready, then you can begin the dungeon imdiately."
Justine looked a little shocked that she was suddenly leading a dungeon party, but her old confidence ca back quickly. She hadn’t been a mayor all those years for nothing.
Suddenly, a prompt filled his vision.
(Justine Clent has invited you to her party. Do you accept? Yes or No.)
Jas’s eyes bulged and he cursed his servants.
"There’s a party system and you all didn’t tell !? What the hell!"
All the won around Jas flushed with sha except Susan.
"Sorry Jas.. that’s just one of those things that most people know.."
With a sigh, he let the matter drop in a huff.
"Don’t worry about, I can’t expect you girls to think of every little detail all the ti."
ntally accepting the invite, a whole new world appeared in front of Jas.
It was very trippy at first, four red and green bars implanted themselves in the left side of his vision. When he focused on it, he could see the nas of the won around him.
Red seed to be for health and green for stamina. Justine had an extra blue bar and it was for mana.
(You’re under the effect of Justine Clents party leader skill [High Morale].)
Focusing on it, Jas read further.
[Skill: High Moral (Level 11)]
Description: Influences others under your command to not be shaken by mind skills like [Taunt] or [Aggression].
Skill Bonus: 55% to ntal resistance (Level 11)
’That’s pretty handy.. I’ll take Justine with next ti I visit Galea... hehehe’
Then a thought struck Jas.
"So I can only see everyone else’s health and stamina, but not mine? That seems kinda stupid. Also why is Justine the only one with a man bar?"
The girls were still embarrassed by there earlier error and now couldn’t et his eye when he asked this question.
"Master.. you can toggle your status on and off.. just say ’Status On’. And the reason Justine has a man bar is because she’s the only one with magic skills that requires an activation cost. Emily’s and my magic skills are passive, so we turned that one off to get rid of vision clutter."
Jas almost tore his hair out when he heard the first part, he barely payed attention to the rest of the explanation.
’That was one of the first goddamn things I tried when I got to this stupid world!’
He was seething in anger when he said the words to activate his status and his own bars appeared on top of the others.
Then, Jas paused for a mont as he recalled what he had actually said his first day in the Fractured World.
——————
’I’m totally screwed, what about a stat page.’
"Status."
"Activate status."
"Status screen"
’Shit nothing happened.’
———————
’Why is it so damn picky! If I never said character sheet then I wouldn’t have known about [Entoxicating Scent]! It would probably be on to this day and I never would’ve been able have a normal conversation.. I hate this place..’
Veronica spoke up after a mont to interrupt Jas’s internal complaining.
"Then uhh Jas.. you probably don’t know about the [Combat Log] either.."
His face went blank and he stared at Veronica for a mont before he sighed deeply. It was actually a very impressive display of his lung capacity.
Jas activated his [Combat Log].
He turned it off almost imdiately. The damage numbers displayed were from his revenge.
There was a lot of, You have inflicted bleeding on Diana Troth for (x) amount of damage, over and over again.
Jas dragged his hand down his face.
"Is there anything else I might be missing?"
The girls squird for a second and Susan called out from the side.
"Well your level 10 already, do you know how to use your inventory?"
Jas retrieved his knife and displayed it to her.
"I got that one down, a prompt told that I unlocked it." Jas cast his gaze over the party, "All right, if there’s nothing else, we should get this party started."
