Chapter Sixty Ritual Rewards (Patreon)

Richard slipped down the stairs and entered the front room of the inn. Looking around he noted Michael sitting in a corner eating his soup. Another glance revealed no sign of the cute little dwarf Delilah. Frowning, he walked over to Michael’s table.

“So, um, Michael? Have you seen Delilah?”

The red haired man looked up from his soup and said, “She isn’t back yet.”

“What do you mean she isn’t back yet!” he shouted. “That party was supposed to be over hours ago!”

Michael gave him one of those looks he always hated getting. “Well, they were likely up all night. She is probably sleeping at the Guild Mistress’s place.”

He scoffed and didn’t bother to reply as he made his way out of the inn. He figured it best to go check on her then. Besides, he had heard this was a sex ritual. Like any good rogue he had done some digging, and would have loved to sneak in himself, but it was a no boys allowed club and he just had this bad feeling about going there every time he thought about it.

Now that the ritual was over. That same feeling wasn’t around, so he figured it would be safe to go check on her. The streets were fairly calm. Although with fewer women around, and anyone who was around wasn’t worth more than a glance. He sighed. Why did all the pretty girls have to go attend that sex party? Then he cursed that he missed it. Having so many pretty girls before him enjoying each other’s sexy bodies? That would have been heaven, but too bad he missed that. Richard sighed as he recalled how his attempts to spy on the party from afar went. That Damn GM had an anti-scrying field on it, so his favorite little peeping tool didn’t work, nor did trying to watch it through a long-sight lens from one of the better vantage points in town. How she stopped the second one, he had no idea.

After navigating several streets while cursing the damn sex ritual for taking away all the good eye candy, he finally reached the mansion in question. Figuring it was likely safe enough to try a frontal approach first, he headed for the door. The no-boys allowed was for the ritual itself as he understood it, and that was supposed to have been over hours ago. With that in mind he knocked on the door.

Richard didn’t have to wait long before a delightful young lady opened the door. She was incredibly cute, and entirely naked. Maybe this walk was worth it? Even if she was far too short for his tastes, she was still quite cute. Lovely light red skin, nice dark hair done up in a cute hairstyle. Lovely eyes that looked like gems on her face, a surprisingly large bust for her age and a cute puffy pussy. Give her a few more years, he glanced at her ears, no maybe decades and she would be quite the looker.

She gave him a weird look and then sighed, “Can I help you, young man?”

He blinked and then decided to ignore that. “Yes, I was hoping to check on one of the guests. The party was supposed to be over hours ago and yet Delilah hasn’t come back.”

“I can’t allow you to disturb them. They were up all night and are currently resting.”

He chuckled “I see. Well, I’ll only be a moment then.”

She was only a little girl, so it wasn’t like she could stop him from poking around for a bit and really make sure they were alright. He pushed against the door, forcing it to open wider and stepped inside.

The girl sighed, “Quite the rude man aren’t you? I guess you need a little lesson in respect.”

He blinked, next thing he knew he was on the ground and every bone in his body ached fiercely. A blue box popped in his vision.

Alert! Your health is below 10%
Condition critical!
Alert!

You have been cursed!

New curse gained: Akulie’s Minor Curse of Misfortune

Internally he cursed. Even as he pulled one of his potions from the belt he always wore. Every movement hurt like agony but the moment the potion touched his lips he felt relief. Looking up, the door was already closed. For a moment he stared at it and then he walked away. That girl was more dangerous than he thought and he no longer felt like trying his luck. Not today, anyway. Not after picking up yet another new curse. It seemed par for the course with his life. Mentally he made a mental note for another visit to the temple.

Amy stirred. As her mind freed itself from the grasp of a surprisingly pleasant yet dreamless sleep she found herself relishing in the luxurious feel of the soft sheets beneath her and the cool air around her. She could even feel the warm skin pressing against her breasts.

Wait!!! Sheets? Didn’t she fall asleep in the gardens? Looking around she found herself in a bedroom sprawled out on a massive mattress in the same position she recalled falling asleep in. With the exact same partners using her boobs as pillows and judging from what she could feel down there. Someone was resting their head on her crotch, too. Again she wasn’t sure who and couldn’t really see them either. A voice in the back of her head told her that should bother her more, but it really didn’t.

She wasn’t sure how they all ended up in the bed, but she felt clean. There was no trace of the juices she recalled being covered with. Then Amy noticed the notifications blinking in the corner of her vision. Amy focused on them and blue boxes popped in her vision.

Amy blinked, 33 girls? When? She briefly recalled bits and pieces of the ritual. As far as she could recall she spent most of it with Thomas and Aidera. Maybe a bit with Mara and she recalled a moment with Sienna. Other than Sienna she knew all of them had taken the same potion she did. Who were these mothers? Racking her mind gave her no answers, the ritual was too hazy in her mind.

So she focused on the next one.

I really love this trait your patron helped you with. Love to unlock it myself but I will settle with this for now. I’m sure you will love it when you unlock it yourself.

Amy wasn’t that familiar with the fertility stats. Those were normally hidden and didn’t show up in status, nor had she read up on them, but she could not help but feel 390 was a bit high. It sounded high. This was a bit much to digest.

Feeling movement, she glanced down to see Thomas stirring. She smiled, “Morning sis! Sleep well?”

Thomas nodded into her boob and replied, “Morning!”

“Did you get any notifications?”

Thomas blinked and then got that familiar faraway look. It seemed she got some too. Frowning, she said, “Yeah, I got one from the ritual and one from a Goddess Akulie.”

Amy blinked, “What did she give you?”

Thomas didn’t say and a new box popped in her vision as her sister shared.

What!? Why does Thomas have such a high fertility stat? She glanced to the side to see Aidera looking at something. She spoke, “I see it. Thomas is very fertile isn’t she?”

Amy nodded, “I guess yours isn’t that high?”

“Akulie seems to have noticed me as well. I got a similar set of notifications. My fertility is now 420 with girls and zero with boys.”

“I, um, see. That’s higher than me.”

“Well, to be fair, I was already a little more fertile with girls than the average. Not very, just a little. It’s not easy to permanently raise that. I guess I don’t need to bother trying anymore.”

“Oh, I see.” Amy was about to say more but she felt a stirring by her pussy. With the other two awake it wasn’t hard to shift to see her last bedmate. She shifted, and was greeted with a familiar face and a mop of green hair. She blinked, Well leave it to sex ritual to leave her waking up with a stranger in her bed. Well not really a stranger, seeing as she had met Delilah before, but she was more of an acquaintance than anything else. They barely knew each other, but seemed to be on friendly terms.

Delilah spoke, “Um, good morning?”

“Sleep well?”

She glanced down then back up, “Strangely, I did. Um, sorry.”

“It’s okay. I didn’t have much energy myself after the ritual. Anyway, did you get a notification from Akulie as well?”

Delilah frowned. Then took on a faraway look. After a moment, she said, “No, I didn’t.’

“So she didn’t give you anything?” She glanced at Thomas and Aidera, “Then why did the three of us gain her notice?”

Delilah shrugged, “I don’t know.”

Aidera sighed, “Not much point questioning gods.”

Thomas nodded, and then her belly rumbled.

In response, all of them realized they were hungry. Amy smiled, “Let's put that aside for now, and go get something to eat.”

Thomas and Aidera quickly agreed. Delilah stretched and then nodded. They were all hungry, so it wasn’t hard to come to an agreement. They made their way out of the room and it wasn’t too hard to find their way downstairs where they found their host laying out a feast. Plenty of other girls had also gathered and evidently, no one had bothered to find clothes. Amy wasn’t feeling particularly bothered about being naked at the moment. In fact now that she thought about it. She wasn’t feeling very bothered about things she knew she would usually be embarrassed about. Like her sleeping arrangements.
