Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 140: The Gate

"Lunch Break?" Jes asked after she opened her eyes.

"Yeah, You can come, but you better be on your best behavior. If you think Nina, and Wendy are scary, just wait till you meet the rest of my family, BWAHAHA!"

Wendy rolled her eyes at me, but I didn't care. I needed to loosen up, this whole taking a city is too much like hard work. I looked around and found five more girls on the ground all bound and some were gagged. 

I motioned my head to the girls, and Wendy nodded back. I took each girl's power, none of them were awake to see it happen, and by the looks of the gags, weren't going to take it well. Only three more girls left, but I assumed one or two would escape. I was happy to see the boys carrying a girl each when I turned around to look for them, right on time. 

"Great job, my word you, my friends, are efficient workers. I think I need to start reevaluating how we proceed with plans. I have been holding you all back it seems."

The two of them grinned as they walked up to me to get me to touch the girls, but I shook my head and told them to put them down gently. Too many things this young padawan not did he know, so better to be safe than sorry, instead of the magic be taken from one of them by accident. Even just the thought of accidentally killing one of them made me hot, and I shook my head, turning my attention back to the two girls.

"Branisi, and  Danica, but we could not find Kadi," Mesh reported as I reached down to touch the girls, taking their magic.

"I didn't think we would get them all so sixteen out of seventeen is a good count. I'm going to drop the wall and then say a couple things to the people. While I do, Can you three gather the slave master and any other slaves that have come forward, oh shit! The Resistance! Okay, go, I just remembered something."

I squatted down, placing my hand on the ground, and tried something different. I tried to dig deep into the place where all the magic was stored, and I had to really feel at first, but then suddenly burst from my hand in a torrent. The powers inside of me funneled my desire and will into the ground, and the massive walls began to change.

[Limitless Reach] Activated

I wanted to make the walls stronger while making openings, and then I let the flood out. The waves began to rush through the streets, cleaning everything as telekinesis held everything in place. Galing winds helped dust and dry everything off, ink painted all the houses and buildings all in a rainbow of colors, but not just splashed on. 

As this happened, hot lava crawled up to the top of the wall, and once the refuse had left the city, massive gates grew up to seal the four gaps. The last thing was the mess I had made to the mayor's house. So, with Titania's builder magic and Greckcain's growth magic, everything was repaired even having Kara's magic to resew the drapes. 

When it was all over, I turned to my friends, but I was hit with an overwhelming feeling. It was like all the blood moved to my head, and I started to loosen function in my limbs. The world went black as I fell, and Wendy screamed.

[Two worlds previous to the current world]

My eyes snapped open, and I was in a cave-like room with a door and a torch hanging on the wall. I was laying on a bed, and what the fuck was this fucking shit in my face? I went to put my hand up to my face to get rid of this hair in my face but stopped. That wasn't my hand.

"What the fuck is going on?" I said out loud.

"You're awake finally."

I damn near jumped out of my skin.

"Where the fuck did you come from? What the hell is going on?"

"Are you mental? Are you saying you don't remember me?"

Suddenly a woman landed on top of me, rugged, with scars, but in great shape...everywhere. 

"I wish I did."

"Then let me remind you, Hyde." 

The girl had fire red hair like a mix of Mishka and Kadence, but a rougher beauty like Titania. She leaned down and kissed me. I pushed her off me, but a lot harder than I intended and she hit the wall with an audible thump, but she caught herself and landed standing somehow. My head was on fire like someone had just poured lava in my ear, my eyes felt like they would just melt out of my head.

Then I stopped, and I knew what the fuck was going on. Kiada was standing in front of me, wearing a smile, while she dusted her back off. I was about to apologize, but then stopped as she put up her hand, I had told her to do that exact thing to bring me back from my memory lock. Gra, or Gripton, The faceless God said it would happen and now I was back, and it worked, I was in the Game Masters world, Talon, and I was going to get him for taking them from me and trapping them in that world.

"Thanks, I owe you."

"Oh, don't worry, I will come to collect. I don't kiss boys for free, I like the vertical smiles better."

Kiada gave me a wink, truly the strangest Harem leader I had ever met. Being a lesbian was just the icing on the cake, the first time we met ten games ago I was relieved she didn't have a bunch of idiots following her around. Though right now, they were all gone, three of us lost it all twelve games ago, and it was finally time for redemption. I would get my girls back, every last fucking one of them.

"Where is Bhan?"

"Gone back to the last town we passed, he should be back soon, lets go."

I got up and followed Kiada out and there was just a tunnel, and after about a five-minute walk up an incline, we reached the entrance of the tunnel. It felt like ages since I had seen the blasted lands, but I am not to the end of the game yet. The scenery below me was grey and barren but covered in monsters. 

"I can't see him yet, do you wanna go on a date?" Kiada asked as her eyes went red and her skin turned to midnight black, her claws and teeth growing.

"Sure, but you need to share this time!"

As I spoke I unleashed the first power restrictor ring of the fifteen holding my strength in check. After looking done the three hundred meter drop into the sea of monsters I cracked two more. I looked over, but there was only an empty space.

"Oh that bitch, it's not a fucking date if you go alone!" I yelled down at her falling form as I dove off the cliff cave entrance. 

Kiada turned her falling body to face mine, and then stuck her tongue out. Then, in a cloud of black smoke, she was gone, but I saw her reappear in an explosion of black flames. That cheating bitch! A date my ass, this was a competition, and now I was behind the eightball.

Falling was taking too long and there was a massive pile-up happening directly below me, and I didn't want to be late for the party. I threw my arms out and forced myself to be guided into the cliff wall. I hit the wall running and picked up speed, and ran straight into the ground filled with monsters

My power was The Gate, each one I opened or snapped because they felt more like bands to me. They increased all my stats beyond normally possible, but this was The Game World, MainFrames final playground, and the only way to get into one of the twelve games. I hit the ground like a meteor, shattering the giant black ant monsters into black particles.

I pulled my face out of the ground and got up. The upside to being indestructible, but there was no time to waste, more ants rushing into my half-semi-circle. I smiled, all the magic in the world was nothing to this power. 

I stomped my foot down and leapt into the air, up and out of the crater. I sailed in a high arc, and when I crested, I pulled my arm back and I plummeted back to the ground. I punched down into the ground, and the world exploded around me in dirt and black particles. Let's fucking go!

I jumped again for another meteor punch. I named all moves...because they weren't really moves...just actions that had a different effect when I did them. I noticed Kiada was surrounded by zombies and other undead monsters, but they helped her massacre the ant monsters. The more she killed the larger her army grew, in a place like this, she was unstoppable, but even in a one on one fight, she was an ancient vampire. 

I slammed back down, destroying more monsters, but I had noticed a dusty cloud in the distance. I jumped again, and now I could clearly see the massive tank of fucking doom, Little Bo Peep, doing about sixty kilometers. One of my best friends in this fucked up world was sitting on a small platform at the very top of the mammoth tank in a lawn chair with a drink in his hand. 

That was Bhan.
