Alyssa followed my instruction instantly, Lapia looked at warily.
"We didn’t an to make you uncomfortable." the Elf said.
"It’s not that." I looked away. "I kind of like that sort of thing." Lapia smirked at . "Anyway."
I stood in front of them. Arms crossed and posture firm.
"Show what you use for combat." I said. If these two won were going to be my long term lovers and companions, I was going to make sure they survived a nuclear blast if possible.
"Okay." Alyssa said, summoning her Staff along with leather garnts and tal boots with an opening for her toes. A couple of rings and jewelry sat on top of a white robe.
I crouched and took the staff, appraising it. It was a white tal pole with an eye at the top, the thing was golden and ticulously crafted.

My eyes widened to the point my visual organs threatened to fall off. I felt my hope in the world crumble. This is a starter item, if anything. The Luzo, however, looked pretty smug.
"Quite the item, right? It cost fifty silver." she smiled and straightened up.
"We’re gonna get Halved, aren’t we?" Lapia sighed, leaning back on the sofa.
"Yes. Whatever that ans." I scowled at the item. "Alyssa, were you scamd?" my worried face froze hers.
"Huh?"
I summoned a Mythical staff for clerics. I had yet to check this one out, so my expectations were high. I hoped the passives hadn’t changed much.
I was disappointed. In a good way.

It was beautiful. Two ters in length, a two colored jewel at the bottom. The golden pole had etchings on it and a gritty surface. The head was a flat stained glass circle around thirty centiters wide supported by the sa material as the body. A sun motif on it clear as day. A faint light coming off the glass, swaying like smoke.
I offered Alyssa the staff and she took it, her jaw dropping. Six rings materialized in my hand an I placed them on her lap. Late ga jewelry. Each giving fifty points in intelligence, wisdom, constitution and dexterity. For a total of three hundred for each stat.
We had ten fingers, so we could wear six comfortably. A seeveless white robe ca next, similar in color to hers. Mine, however, had golden tallic sections that worked as armor. It was stretchy and breathable, but durable upon further inspection. Originally a costu, it also turned into a functional piece of protective gear.
[Garb of Purified Light (Legendary)]
(Durability SS)(Agile Movent)
I placed a set of leather garnts next to her. A sleeveless vest, shorts with a hole for her tail, finger-less gloves and toe-less socks.
Well, well, well. It’s almost as if there were playable races that had claws. I chuckled inside my mind. You can’t escape me! Modern video gas cater to all!
They were all endga equipnt. Boosting stats and durable defenses. These, however, were not as durable as mine. They were a weird mix of leather and breathable spandex. Stretchy and form-fitting. I placed a pair of black tallic boots and gauntlets at her feet. Both had openings for fingers and toes.
"Take these. And always fight with everything you have." I looked her in the eye and she nodded. I took her chin and kissed her. "I don’t want to risk anything. This may be overkill, but I’d rather our travels be boring than dangerous." I turned to Lapia.
"Makes sense." she nodded and summoned her ensemble. A similar looking staff, but with a fla-shaped piece of iron instead. An unnecessarily revealing robe and so jewelry.
Her staff was just as poor, but it had better E’er efficiency than Alyssa’s.
I summoned another Mythical staff, this one specific for Pyromancer, being the most played class in the ga due to its large area of effect spells and overall utility.
My, my. What a coincidence. I smiled. I might start believing in fate. I had all of the class specific weapons in the ga, so not much coincidence after all. Four were Mythical and the rest were Legendary.
This is no ga, though.

The weapon beca a cluster-fuck just like the Geomancer one. The thing two ters tall just like the one for Alyssa. The pole a fla orange with a gritty surface, and at the top, four short studs held a fifty centiter long, ten wide red crystal encasing a white fla.
I presented her the staff and after a few seconds of reading, she choked.
"Holy shit!" she coughed for a bit and I rubbed her back.
She began saying things in Elvish. I moved on to the gear, placing similar items to those for Alyssa. I placed five rings, having already given her one this morning. And a properly covering set of clothes.
[Regalia of Pyroclast (Legendary)]
(Durability SS)(Agile Movent)
Been a long day. I sighed.
"Attention, please." I snapped my fingers and they both looked up. "Which do you prefer? Helt, crown, or tiara?" I had it all. One does not get to the top without commitnt. "I have most wares for fine ladies such as you." I imitated an old rchant, or tried to.
They giggled and relaxed.
"Can’t wear helts." Alyssa said, pointing at her horns.
"I don’t like them, too stuffy." Lapia said with an apologetic smile.
"Not to worry." I smiled, and summoned two helts. Kind of.
They had an opening on top. The face had eye sockets for vision. On the sides, cuts allowed for long ears to comfortably fit the piece. The interior was a padded material, so it would absorb impacts. The items I gave them were my other character’s equipnt, so it was top notch.
I placed them on their heads and was satisfied with how they looked. Alyssa’s fit like a glove, the opening wide enough to allow her horns to go through. They stared at through the gaps ant for vision. Their long ears poking out made for a funny picture.
"You look pretty silly, not gonna lie." I giggled. "But better dull than dead, am I right?"
"This is..." Lapia said, not finding the words. She took the helt off and stored it.
"You told the world is dangerous." I shrugged. "Think of this as taking care of my partners."
I chuckled at their blushing faces and pulled the Elf up. I hugged and kissed her.
Alyssa stood up and hugged us both. "So this is to get Halved." she sighed, chuckling.
"Yep." the Elf nodded. "To absolutely demolish our common sense."
I laughed. That sounded pretty accurate to what I just did.
"Try them on, let’s see if they’re comfortable." I urged them, sitting on the sofa.
They undressed, storing their clothes. Before I could get a glimpse of the Luzo’s body, she had already equipped the new gear through the magical process of storage dressing.
They comfortably shaped to their bodies. I gawked at Alyssa’s chest, the piece stretching beyond what I thought possible. I gulped.
The piece was sleeveless so her scaled arms were bare. Those scales could rip cloth, I bet. So looked a little sharp. I smiled when she put the gloves on, her clawed fingers going through the openings for fingers. Thank all above lizard people are popular in most fantasy gas.
Though the Luzo had Dragon-like features, her body was no different than mine. Aside from her tail and horns. They might even call it God-shape or sothing. I chuckled at the thought. A world with species older than humans would not call it ’humanoid’. They might even link it to Halves, I don’t even know how a God looks like. I thought back to Earth’s eastern religions, their deities more animal than human.
As an individual originally belonging to a society of discussion, however, I asked.
"Hey, how do you call our body shape?" I asked while they fixed details on their gear. "I an bipedal, erected back, head above shoulders, arms on the sides. You get it."
"That is a very interesting question, considering the answer." Lapia said, fixing a belt that kept her skirt in place.
"Halven Figure." Alyssa answered, adjusting a belt under her breasts.
Right on the money. My shoulders sagged. I have to prepare myself in case I et a cult out there worshiping my species.
"What does ’Halve’ an?" I looked at my hands. The tendons and muscles defined under my golden skin.
"That’s Celestial for ’Protector’. God ans ’ntor’." Lapia said and stood in front of , having finished fixing her belts and clasps. "How do I look?" she posed, aiming an open hand at with her new staff in the other, as if she was about to cast a spell.
She looked like a proper wizard. The clothes were light blue accented with gold. The belts and gloves were purple, the skirt part of the dress reached halfway down her thighs. Her legs were covered by the spandex-like material, accentuating their thickness. The boots did their job properly, and a high neck protected her throat. Exquisite shoulder armor covered the joints, and flexible interlinked tals covered her back and front.
There shall be no bikini armor on my watch! I nodded.
"You look great." I gave her a thumbs up.
Alyssa stood beside her, not saying anything.
The robe did wonders for her figure. It covered her from her neck to her knees. It had symtric embroidery and golden interlinked pieces of tal that provided protection without restricting movent. Her upper arms were naked, the dark scales covering the outside of the limb, the inside and her armpits a light purple. Black tal gauntlets covered her forearms, the leather ones hidden beneath. Her tail lifted the dress a little, but the end of the fabric was loose enough to allow for comfortable movent. Her fingers free, she did a sign I did not recognize. A peace sign with an added thumb.
Unless she’s throwing gang signs.
"Lovely." I smiled and clapped. "You two look amazing."
"And yours?" the Luzo asked. "May I see your armor again?" her tail swayed a little.
Is she happy or testing the range of movent? I wondered while standing up.
Leather armor appeared under my dress. I stored the silk attire along with my boots and made the armor appear on top. A silver white helt with no holes for vision materialized in my hands. The thing had a thick golden line where eyes should be, crossing the front from side to side. A small hole at the back I assud would let my hair out. It had a few clasps and plates that suggested it was connected with the neck of my chestplate. The pieces mobile to allow wide movent and protection at the sa ti.
How do I see withthis? I appraised it.
[Starforged Eternium Plate Helt (Legendary)]
(Durability SSS )(Weightless Wear)(True Vision)
I put it on and was surprised at seeing everything in front of . Is this how Ir*nman’s helt would feel like? There was no interface, however. I touched the front and found no holes or the like. It’s good. I stored it and equipped it again through my storage. My braid ca out the hole in the back. I took my spear out.
"How is it?" I twirled around and my long hair followed, the braid courtesy of Alyssa held firm. I then posed like J*suke, framing my head.
"Impressive. Sleek." Lapia said and Alyssa nodded. "What is it made of?" she approached and touched my arm.
"Eternium." I said back. "Ring any bells?"
Both shook their heads.
Originally, the costu was ordinary iron forged in a star. You can write whatever you want in a ga, though. This world may have changed things for balance’s sake. I thought about the many weapons and costus, changing considerably from ga to reality. Maybe it just didn’t make sense, and gave nas according to what it recognized them as.
Now a fully functional piece of protective gear, the thing was pretty cool. I thanked all above for the fact the art designers didn’t like boob plate or bikini armor. Exposing skin while fighting is not a very good idea unless you use a shield, or a large enough weapon to use as one.
"Feels pretty comfy." I squatted, the armor making very little sound, the pieces moving to ease the movent. "How about you?" I checked the knee plates.
"Comfortable, yes." Alyssa nodded. I looked up at the Luzo from my squatting position. "The chest area stretched perfectly." she blushed.
How has this woman not developed blood pressure problems blushing that often? I turned to the Elf.
"The hip area was tight, but I increased the size with the belts and clasps." she smiled. "My stats went through the roof, though." she chuckled.
"True, it feels... odd." the Luzo tilted her head, silver white hair falling to the side.
"As long as you’re not feeling any discomfort, all is good." I stood up without issue, the plates relocating.
I changed clothes back to my dress, the action instantaneous thanks to my storage. I ran a hand through my hair and undid the braid. My hair tickled the back of my knees.
"Ah. Need to go to the bathroom." Lapia said, turning around.
" too." Alyssa said in her lovely deep voice.
They both turned to .
