So hope you enjoy this one as much a s I did.\nDon't know if I'll continue this series soon or not, but we'll see.","content":"\"All right everyone. Put down our pens, give me your papers and I will see you after the summer break\" A teacher said to his students.\n\nIt was the mid-terms before summer break in Japan and the students have just finished their final exam before going out to enjoy the world.\n\nJinrou Akatsuki, was a bright student and the praise of all teachers.\n\nHe was a middle-schooler at 15, he was from a slightly rich family, but not loaded, but he likes his life and family altogether.\n\nJinrou- or Jin- was not built like most sport club members of the school but he exercised and jogged from time to time, keeping him in a decent shape, and those martial arts classes he paid for from his own pockets helped as well.\n\nDespite wearing a pair of rectangular glasses and looking like a total nerd. This nerd is not to be messed with.\n\n\"Hey bro!\" When he left his class room, he was greeted by a few of his friends, 2 guys and 2 girls.\n\nOne of the guys who had a wild haircut of sorts, although Jin couldn't quite remember the name of it, put his arm around Jin's head, with a wide smile on his face, \"You going to join us later?\" That was Ryou Hazama a senior in Jin's school. He is what some would call the 'big brother' type of person, always there to help his juniors.\n\n\"Join you where?\" Ryou's gesture have toppled his glasses a little, so he had to straighten them.\n\n\"Why the game store of course\" That was Maria Everheart, a blonde long-haired exchange student from America, she was a junior just like Jin.\n\n\"There is a new expansion coming in today for the new virtual system\" The other guy- Kintarou Asami- another 'nerd' like Jin, but lacks most of what Jin has, giving him a slightly chubby look.\n\nThe virtual system is the new era of gaming everywhere. Where the very conscience of a person is thrown into the game instead of sitting in front of a tv and holding a controller of sort.\n\n\"AAAWWW, this is going to be exciting\" Ran Izuka a brunette with her hair in pig-tails, was practically jumping in her place.\n\nThe five of them are members of a videogame club in the school.\n\n\"Sorry guys, going home early, today's exam was murderous. I won't be surprised if they tell me the test was written by a warlock of sorts, I feel drained completely\" As Jin said that, he felt his shoulders and back slouching a bit.\n\n\"And then you'll join us later, right?\" Ryou said tightening his grip on Jin for emphasis.\n\n\"Again, join you where?\"\n\nRan pouted, and stood face to face with him, \"Man, you're dense\" She stood back slightly crossing her arms, \"He meant join us in El Dorado\"\n\n\"Oh\" Was all he could say.\n\nEl Dorado Online. A virtual MMO game that have only appeared a month ago, but took the whole world by storm.\n\nMaria- or Marie crossed her arms on her chest with a knowing smile, \"You didn't buy it yet did you Jin?\"\n\nJin looked down with slight disappointment, but raised it again quickly, \"Not yet. Thought that I need to concentrate on my studies for the exams, then I would buy it. Because I know that I will dedicate my time to the game instead of my studies if I did\"\n\nRan then almost plastered her own face to his with a wide smile, \"Then that's better. You get to buy it when we go\"\n\nHe raised his hands, after managing to break free from Ryou's headlock, \"Sorry, but I'm really tired. I'll just buy it online and join you once I'm rested enough\"\n\n\"Fine!\" Ran said with a defeated sigh.\n\nAfter everyone bid each other goodbye, Jin began his trek home.\n\nAs he was walking his thoughts went to the game: El Dorado.\n\nThe game was in its beta stage 3 months ago, then fully released last month.\n\nIt was an adventure game of sorts, with the servers representing the actual countries of the real world. Like the english server had an old english, almost victorian setting and surroundings.\n\nIt had many things, that would seem basic in any MMO, but they developers mentioned a little surprise in the full release, plus a few twists.\n\nHe was looking in his phone, surfing through the game's forums, trying to learn what he can about it. It never hurt anyone to come prepared.\n\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nJin finally arrived home.\n\nTheir house was average sized, almost perfect for a family their size.\n\nHe got in, taking off his shoes, \"I'm home\"\n\n\"Welcome back\" His mother called back from the kitchen.\n\nJin's mom was the secretary of the manager of a huge company.\n\nWhen he went to the kitchen, he realized that the house was silent, \"Where is everybody?\"\n\nHis mother looked back at him, \"Your father still has some work to do, your older brothers are out with their friends, and Endou is upstairs playing on his computer\"\n\nHis mother despite her age, was looking younger than most women her age. Her smiling personality and daily exercise helped. She was the one who encouraged Jin to take martial arts classes, \"How was your exam today?\"\n\n\"Okay mom, it was somewhat difficult, but I believe I managed\"\n\n\"Good to hear sweetie, now go upstairs and get some sleep, you look like you need it\"\n\n\"Good idea as always mom\" He went made his way upstairs.\n\nHalfway up, his mother called back, \"There is a present for you in your room honey. It's from Endou\"\n\n\"A present from him, huh?\" He continued his way upstairs, getting a few ideas about what that present is.\n\nWhen he finally reached his room, he gave it a quick look over to make sure everything is in place.\n\nJin was a little bit of a neat freak, he would even freak out sometimes if things weren't organized. In his room at least. Anywhere else and he is okay with it, besides he is not the owner of said mess or disorganization.\n\nBut if it was his room, he had no problem in trying to fold people to make them fit on the shelves.\n\nHe walked over to his desk which was sitting besides the window, and sat in front of his desk top computer.\n\nHe then remembered Endou's gift.\n\nWhen he looked around he found a small gift-wrapped package sitting on top of his bed, which was located right beside his desk to allow easy access to his VR visor and computer.\n\nWhen he picked it up and opened it.\n\nHis eyes widened at the discovery of what it contained.\n\nA copy of El Dorado Online.\n\nWhen his opened the case, he found more than the game disk.\n\nOnline coupons, gift cards, in-game/premium currency and many other things.\n\nThen he remembered that his brother Endou was one of the beta testers of the game, and the developers said that the testers will receive a nice present and a few bonuses upon full release.\n\n\"Guess they really appreciate the people who helped bring the game to life\"\n\nHe immediately inserted the disk and began through the steps of downloading the game.\n\nWhen the game launcher finally began the updating and patch downloading he went to the website to make a user profile for himself.\n\nThen he thought that he wanted to thank Endou for the present, but knowing him he would probably just brush him off.\n\nEndou is the type that just sits around all day in front of the computer or a videogame with no care whatsoever of the outside world, and when he begins playing it seems like he is in some sort of trance, brushing off or outright ignoring others around him.\n\nWhen he finished making his profile, the game was still a few hours away from being playable.\n\nSo all that is left for him now is to wait, and the best way is to do the very thing he came home early to do.\n\nHe began doing his usual before bed routine.\n\nAfter brushing his teeth, he took out his bright blue pajamas from the wardrobe.\n\nBefore closing the buttons he stood in front of the mirror, admiring himself.\n\nHe took his time checking for any progress of his training, and he was progressing smoothly from the looks of it.\n\nSmall but thick muscles lined his arms, his flat stomach formed a premature \u0026nbsp;four pack.\n\nWhen he was done, it was finally time to sleep, but he remembered to set the computer as to not go into sleep mode later, since that might interrupt the download.\n\nHe finally laid his body on his bed and sleep immediately took him.\n\n----------------------------------------\n\nWhen Jin woke up, he looked at the clock and was stunned.\n\nIt read 8:24 _am_.\n\nHe slept for almost a whole day, he was more tired than he thought.\n\nHe got up and went to the bathroom in the upstairs hallway, when he finally freshened up he checked the rest of the house, his family is still asleep, but his dad should wake up any minute now.\n\nAnd as if on cue, his father's alarm came to life and could be heard throughout the whole house.\n\nJin had a smile, knowing that his father will catch hell for that alarm.\n\nHe went back to his room and went straight for the computer, finding that it was turned off.\n\nHis mom had a way of sneaking into his and his brothers' rooms to bid them goodnight or to get their laundry while they were asleep.\n\nHe suddenly thought that if there was a stealth character in the game, it would fit his mom like a glove.\n\nHe quickly opened the computer and went for the game file.\n\nIt did a quick system check.\n\nHe let out a sigh of relief when he found that the game was done patching the latest content.\n\nHe wanted to start right away, since he pretty much broke his promise to his friends yesterday, but first....\n\nHe went to his wardrobe, taking out a track suit and pants, both light blue and white trimmed.\n\nHe then made his way downstairs to fix himself a quick snack and drink before heading out.\n\nUnsurprisingly, his father was there.\n\nHis father worked as an accountant for a big firm in the city that dealt with sports, while his mother was the secretary of the manager of another big firm that dealt with medicine. He can't remember the names no matter how hard he tried, and his parents boast about him being the clever one in the family.\n\nHow can he be the clever one when he can't remember where his parents worked?\n\n\"Hello son\" His father in his suit greeted him with a smile.\n\n\"Good morning father\" He replied as he was making a sandwich for himself.\n\n\"Going for your usual morning runs?\" His father asked before taking a sip from his coffee.\n\n\"Yeah. Must do something to keep this body from flapping about\" Jin stated gesturing to himself.\n\n\"Well don't burn yourself out, your health is more important\"\n\nJin simply nodded as he ate his snack quickly, then leaving out the door beside his father.\n\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nA few hours later.\n\nJin came back home and went straight to the shower, the rest of the family up and about, with his mom already out to work.\n\nHis two oldest brothers were in the living room playing a videogame, pushing and shoving each other.\n\nThe oldest of the two was Raiki, tall and with an impressive body. The younger one is Daiki, with pretty much the same build, since both are actually twins.\n\nHe guessed that Endou was in his room.\n\nAfter the shower he turned his computer on, and launched the game, hooking his VR Visor to it while the game did its usual check up.\n\nWhen all was done, he started the game, wore his visor and laid down on his bed.\n\nA few seconds later, bright lights and colors passed him from different directions as he was thrown into the virtual world of codes and programs.\n\nThen suddenly he came face to face with a beautiful scenery of green plains and trees, with the title of the game shimmering into view.\n\nHe was then led into the character creation screen.\n\nHe wondered why people keep calling them character creation. The games of the virtual variety scan your actual body and place it into the game.\n\nHe saw a black hallway with faint but colorful lights lining on edges of the walls with a few small spaces that seemed to house some figures.\n\nWhen he looked closer, he found that those were virtual mannequins of the different classes of the game.\n\nHe learned from the forums that the class names might differ from server to server.\n\nHe initially thought that there is actually no need for a class selection since you can change between them in game and level each one individually.\n\nBut as he read through he found out that the story missions are tied to the class you choose, meaning you can only proceed with the story using the selected class.\n\nAs he checked the classes he found a few that he liked and decided to concentrate on them when leveling up.\n\nHe found the swordsman, warrior, summoner, gunner, alchemist, ninja (shinobi since he is male), necromancer, archer, priest, monk, mage, protector and many others.\n\nHe wasn't a fan of getting up-close-and-personal, he preferred the casters, even the ninja since they are both casters and melee.\n\nHe then chose the summoner, he liked the ability to call and tame creatures.\n\nHe also liked the way the mannequin was dressed.\n\nA full body ceremonial robe of sort, white, pink and purple in color. He was holding a large ink brush, golden brown wood body and a black tipped brush on the head, with many markings and drawings on it and a golden ring at the base of the brush, with something resembling a gourd on his back.\n\nHe put the name Asamu as his character name.\n\nWhen the system asked him to confirm his selections, he pressed the circle for 'yes'.\n\nThen suddenly a bright light consumed him.\n\nAfter a few seconds he was standing in the middle of the plaza of a big town, his clothing was simple brown and yellow silk shirt and pants. His brush wasn't something to talk about either, simple green bamboo, and a completely white brush, which was fluffed up, when he looked behind him, he found what was the gourd thing on the mannequin was.\n\nIt was a gourd alright, but was made of some sort of glass, with a black liquid inside. He figured it was ink, the 'mana' that the summoners who wielded a brush used.\n\nHe looked around the place, many people both players and NPCs walking around.\n\nFor the obviously starter town of the game this place was full of life, he was stunned to see a decent number of players, with a few others joining the game for the first time like him.\n\nHe began walking around the town, mapping the area.\n\nAs he was walking, he found many players with different stats and equipment.\n\nBut what caught his eye that some were from different anthropomorphic creatures. Wolves, dogs, foxes, horses, bulls, birds and many more, with a few only having the ears and tails.\n\nFirst order of business he thought, was to find a way to change himself like that.\n\nBut first!!.....\n\nHe found the place he was looking for: the main Guild Building.\n\nAll quest, dungeon and raid bounties are distributed and rewarded here.\n\nHe was looking around a quest board that is for levels 1+.\n\nHe suddenly felt a presence beside him.\n\nHe turned to find a tall but slim looking cheetah guy. He was wearing leather shirt and pants with a hooded cloak covering his upper body.\n\nAn archer or shinobi Jin thought, but then noticed the bow and quiver sitting on his waist.\n\n\"You look like you need some work buddy\" The cheetah suddenly stated, \"I can help you with any difficult quest if you want\"\n\nJin looked him over. Level 33, average stats focusing on speed and agility and custom made arrows with a burn effect, not to mention the seemingly hand crafted quiver which can hold a decent number of arrows.\n\nAsking someone like him for help would definitely be beneficial. But, \"Thanks for the offer, but I would like to get a feeling of the system first, which is something I have to do on my own\" Jin then found a monster hunting quest, the perfect one to begin with, and walked towards the clerk NPC to confirm it.\n\nHe then finally left to do the quest.\n\nA figure was standing behind the building watching him carefully.\n\nJin then suddenly turned his head quickly, but found no one, not like he can with all the people walking around.\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\nA screeching roar suddenly rang out.\n\nJin jumped over a few roots and low trunks that littered the forest ground.\n\nJust a monster jumped after him.\n\nThe creature was a mix between a lion-taur and a fish creature of sort.\n\nJin then turned around, brandishing his brush which was tipped with ink.\n\nHe wrote the character of fire inside a circle in mid-air, when he finished a powerful flame burst forth from the written character, engulfing the beast, which let out a pained scream.\n\nDragonic Burst: A fire elemental summoner skill, barely noticeable initial damage, but the accumulated burn affect which causes a DPS effect in turn is quite powerful. The ability also has a chance to stagger the target, which is exactly what happened to the creature.\n\nAs it wobbled in place, Jin wrote another character, this time it was metal.\n\nThe brush began glowing intensely.\n\nJin then suddenly jumped and swung his brush downwards like a sword, slicing the creature in half.\n\nIt then screamed with pain, just as it began glowing, right before exploding into colorful glass and bubbles.\n\nKeen Edge: it mimicked the effects of a sword with a summoner's brush, but if used on an actual sword it would raise its damage and critical for a duration.\n\nIn the creature's place was a few coins and EXP Shards. But something was beside both.\n\nIt looked like a small will-o-wisp flame, just floating there.\n\nThis was a first. After all this creature was the last one according to his quest and the others before didn't drop this.\n\nHe decided to take it and ask around town about it.\n\nWhen he returned to the town and got the reward, it was something he didn't quite need.\n\nBefore actually logging in, he redeemed the codes his brother gave him along with the game, which pretty much made him probably the richest person in the game. 2M in game currency, and more than 10K premium currency.\n\nHe was looking around the board for a few more quests.\n\nHe was tempted to use the EXP potions he got with a few codes, but he wanted to level up the old fashioned style, he personally thought that such items should be banned from the game community, but there were those who want to level up quickly the easy way. He thought about using them on the classes he was pretty much not going to use, but might need in the future, like the warrior or swordsman.\n\nA good start he thought.\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\n\"Haaaaaaa...........\"\n\nJin sat near the fountain placed in the middle of the plaza with a blank look on his face.\n\nHe did most his of the quests around the town, within his level range.\n\nAnd he did use the EXP potions on those classes.\n\nNow the average of most classes was ranging from 13-16.\n\nHe even already finished the daily and crafting quests, and now he was left with nothing to do.\n\nHe let out a deep sigh, looking around him at all the players and NPC walking around.\n\nThat surely gave him some eye candy.\n\nFemales with large chests and wide waists, males with plump asses and others with powerful looking bodies and bulges in front.\n\nJin himself played for both teams so to speak, but preferring guys over girls for the more intimate times.\n\nAs he was looking, someone approached him, \"Enjoying yourself young boy?\"\n\nJin turned to the owner of the feminine voice.\n\nA middle-aged woman wearing a pink and white kimono, with her hair done in a bun held in place by chopsticks, with the rest flowing down her front.\n\nHer kimono was slightly opened near the chest area, giving anyone passing by a slight view of her......maturity.\n\nMost would be embarrassed being caught ogling others.\n\nJin was not one of them, \"Sure am, lots of sweet looking bodies passing around\" He let out another sigh, remembering his predicament, while propping \u0026nbsp;his head on his hands\"This is the only thing I can do for the time being, I did every quest on the board available for my level and did the daily quests, also it's still early for me to think about going into dungeons or raids. So unless you have work for me, please be on your way, not interested in a party either\"\n\nShe gave him a soft smile, sitting beside him, \"I do have a job for you, and it's not a quest\"\n\nHis eyes widened looking at her, \"You mean actual work, not a quest of sorts\" She nodded, \"And you would pay me for it\" She nodded again.\n\nHe held his chin in his hand thinking the proposal through.\n\nShe then spoke again, \"If what I think about you is right, you will enjoy the job more than the pay\"\n\nHe looked at her for a few moments, then stood up, holding his hand for her, to help her up, \"Lead the way ma'am\"\n\nShe took out and unfolded a fan, \"My what a polite boy you are. But please, if we're going to be closer with this job, no need for formalities. Ageha is fine, ma'am makes me feel older than I am\"\n\n\"Pleasure to meet you Lady Ageha\" He gave a polite bow to her, which she returned, \"I'm..\" He thought about it, \"Asamu\"\n\nThey shook hands as if to seal the introduction, \"The pleasure is all mine young Asamu\"\n\nThey began making their way to their destination.\n\nA figure, the same one from before was watching them.\n\nJin turned sharply again, but still no one.\n\n\"Something wrong?\" Ageha asked him turning around.\n\nHe looked around for a few seconds more, before composing himself, \"Nothing. Must be my imagination\"\n\n---------------------------------------------\n\n\"This wasn't exactly what I had in mind\"\n\nThey stood in front of a large building in what the gamers call the entertainment district.\n\nThe building was very huge almost 20 stories high and pretty much just as wide.\n\nWhen he looked at the map, he found that the building took a very generous space of the whole district.\n\nLooking back at the rest of the place, no wonder it was called entertainment district.\n\nSnack shops, small smiths, bars, spice and ingredient shops and many others, it resembled a bazaar if nothing else.\n\n\"Coming dear?\" Jin snapped from his thoughtful trance, turning back to Ageha and following her into the bulding.\n\n\"Woah....\" the inside of the building was pretty much just as huge on the inside.\n\nIt had a large reception area on the far side from the door, with stairs on both sides.\n\nAs they were walking towards the stairs, the two girls in front bowed to them, Ageha herself simply nodded, Jin mimicking her.\n\nWhen they reached the top of the stairs, \"EEEEEEE!!!!!\" He jumped at the sharp but hushed squealing.\n\nHe wanted to turn back to find if there was a problem, \"Did you see the one she brought this time?\" Apparently not.\n\n\"Yeah, he looked so cute, yet handsome at the same time, a very rare combination in a guy\" they both squealed again, more hushed this time.\n\nHe had a dead pan look on his face, just as Ageha giggled a little to herself, \"Trust me, you will get more comments like that, should you decide to work here\"\n\nHe turned back to her and both continued on their way, \"You mean like actual employment?\"\n\n\"Yes\" was the simple short reply.\n\nThe reached their destination.\n\nA large tavern like area took most of the first floor.\n\nTables, lined in rows, a bar standing on the far side, and a stage stood beside them, with a few smaller pedestal like stages stood here and there.\n\n\"Huh. never knew clubs existed in this game\" Jin cocked his head to the side. A gesture Ageha deemed cute, making Jim seem like a confused puppy.\n\n\"This is the internet young Asamu, anything can happen\" She walked forward towards the bar, with Jin close in tow.\n\nThe barman working there was a large bison, with quite obvious muscles protruding from under the thick fur and the muscle gut was a nice addition.\n\nJin licked his lips unconsciously. Also earning a small giggle from Ageha, Jin seemed to resemble a puppy more and more in her eyes.\n\n\"Good afternoon Gram\" Ageha greeted the bison.\n\n\"Afternoon Lady Ageha\" He saw Jin, his eyes giving him a hard stare, before turning back to Ageha.\n\nIf Jin wasn't mistaken, that look had a hint of mockery in it.\n\nAs the two were speaking, Jin was looking around, he found a few others from various species, cleaning the floor and tables around them.\n\nHe even saw a few others on the stage, rehearsing he thought.\n\nHe felt a tap on his shoulder, Ageha stood behind him with a smile on her face.\n\nShe signaled for him to follow her.\n\nHe took a last glance around the place before complying.\n\nAs they were making their way to the higher floors, Ageha addressed him with an apologetic tone, \"I hope Gram didn't offend you, I saw how he looked at you\"\n\nHe simply shrugged, \"No need to worry, I'm used to it, people looking down at me before I spring a few surprises on them\"\n\nHer smile returned, \"Oh?\"\n\n\"Yeah, I remember this one guy on the first day of school. He was the bully from what I gathered. All big and menacing, threatening to kick my ass if I didn't listen to him\"\n\n\"What did you do?\" This should be interesting is what Ageha thought.\n\n\"I told him no. He tried to punch. I just remember the look on his face when I dodged his fist and flipped him over\" Jin chuckled at the memory, \"He was so stunned that he froze on the ground\"\n\nAgeha giggled a little at that, \"Then I have nothing to worry about, and it seems that you _are_ what I'm looking for\"\n\nHe cocked his head again.\n\n--------------------------------------------\n\nThey arrived at an office of sorts on the top floor of the building.\n\nThe place took most of the floor from the looks of it. A ground level table sat on the far side, with a large window have the size of the wall stood behind it.\n\nA person sat behind the small table, writing a few documents.\n\nThe person in mention was some kind of canine, a red and black furred fu dog with a crimson mane and tail.\n\n\"Sweetheart, I'm back\" Ageha called to the middle aged looking man.\n\nHe almost looked startled, jumping a little from his place, \"Oh welcome back honey\" He then noticed Jin, who bowed a little at him, in which he received a nod, \"And who is this young man?\" Now Jin realised where Ageha got her almost parental smile. The fu dog despite his grumpy features had a smile that almost lit up the whole office.\n\nAgeha sat beside him, whispering a few things to him. Good things from his widening smile.\n\nBoth now looked at Jin, who was standing nervously, when Ageha spoke of a job he didn't expect a job interview at his age, and inside a game at that.\n\n\"Why are you still standing dear boy?\" The man's deep voice called to him, \"Come and sit with us\" He motioned to the spot in front of them.\n\nJin walked to them slowly, taking his place facing the man, while Ageha herself sat on the side.\n\nThe fu dog examined Jin for a moment, \"My name is Akage, and you already met my wife here\" He motioned to Ageha who nodded softly as if being introduced for the first time, \"We both run a nice business here\" He spread his arms to the sides, \"This place is as you might have guesses, an inn of sorts, but from the size it's more like a hotel\" His laugh despite being a little hushed, boomed around the room, \"We provide both entertainment and a place for rest to the players and NPCs alike, which brings quite the profit\"\n\nJin nodded, no wonder this place managed to prosper in such a short while, considering that the game officially released only one month ago.\n\nThen something clicked in Jin's mind, \"Lady Ageha mentioned you needed someone like me, Mr. Akage\"\n\nAgeha turned to her husband, \"Didn't I tell you he's polite dear\" She giggled a little.\n\nAkage chuckled as well, \"You sure did honey\" He turned back to Jin, \"No need for formalities kid, we're all friends and fellow players\"\n\nJin just blushed, before going back to the discussion at hand, \"So, what kind of business you both run here?\"\n\nBoth smiled, but this time it looked like a mischievous one, Akage was the on who answered, \"A sex club\"\n\n.\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; .\u0026nbsp; . \"Huh?\"\n\nThe married couple laughed loudly at Jin's expression, but Akage managed to compose himself, swiping a few tears in his eyes, \"Oh dear, you should have seen your face boy\" He finally caught himself, \"But this is not a joke\"\n\n\"Now wait a minute, I know that sex and such was okay in the game, but don't you think a sex club is a bit much?\"\n\nAkage crossed his fingers and rested his chin on them, \"Some players desire companionship for the night, but the game mechanics make it difficult despite it being okay, so with the help of this club we provide them with entertainment of the flesh and night: private shows, private audience, and even simply a room for a night or two. This place is every travelers dream\"\n\nAgeha sat beside her husband leaning her head on his shoulder, \"Me and Akage plan on making a real place like this someday, but probably not as big\"\n\nJin smiled at that, \"That's wonderful, I hope you do make that place, and I will probably be of appropriate age by the time\"\n\nAll of them laughed lightly, the atmosphere resembling that of parents and their son.\n\nAfter Jin composed himself, his features turned serious, \"So what do you need me for?\"\n\nNow it was the couple's turn to turn serious, \"We have a small problem\"\n\nJin raised an eyebrow as if asking for a clarification, which Akage gave, \"A few guilds have been targeting this place, in order to close it or buy it\"\n\n\"And those guilds are?\" He straightened his glasses, This piqued his interest.\n\n\"Don't know all of them, but the two ones dealing the damaging blows are two of the bigger guilds\" He raised a finger, \"One is the Clawed Crimson, it's what the players call a bandit guild, a bunch of rogues and mercenaries, they would do anything to get what they want.\n\nThey even attack players, baiting them into PvP matches and taking their unbound equipment, some even go as far as ambushing players in the wild where PvP is as normal as PvE, they mostly trick new players, acting like they are helping them level up, once they reach a decent level, they take all what they have\"\n\nJin then remembered the cheetah who offered his help at the quest board.\n\nAkage raised another finger, \"The other guild is The Knights of the Order, a religious guild that deem this place and the whole district as a blemish on this virtual yet beautiful world.\n\nThey have visited us many times to try and negotiate the closing of this place, but recently they began using other methods\"\n\nJin was slowly stiffening in place, \"Like what?\"\n\n\"They realized that they can't attack us directly, so they began attacking our reputation, especially among newcomers to the game\" His face fell to the table, \"As you must have seen, the place was a little empty, but before we would get some customers coming over, for a few drinks and rooms\"\n\nJin got the picture now, two guilds trying to take this place out of the map.\n\n........\"Out of the map\" Jin said like he realized something.\n\nThe couple looked at him with confusion.\n\n\"It's simple, this place is like a bazaar, many people\u0026nbsp; come over even if not for this club/inn\"\n\nThen both Akage and Ageha realized that, \"They don't want to just close the place down, they want to take our place\"\n\nJin snapped his fingers, \"Exactly\" He stood up and reset his glasses, \"But I still need to think about it. Those guilds aside, working in a sex club no matter the job is a little overwhelming\"\n\nBoth husband and wife looked at him with a defeated look in their eyes, but Akage tried to cover for it, \"It's okay, take your time, we can stand our ground\"\n\nJin nodded, and attempted to log out.\n\nBut first.\n\n\"Can I have a room here? I know that I'm asking knowing that what I said meant I abandoned you, but I promise to think about it thoroughly\"\n\nAkage waved his hand a little, \"No need to worry, like we said: this place is for travelers to rest and enjoy\"\n\n-------------------------------------------\n\n\"This is nice\"\n\nWith his game money, he was able to get a luxurious room, on just a floor below the office floor, with a wide window overlooking the city, and king size bed, with thin curtains on the side.\n\nThe room had red walls with white ceramic flooring and a brown carpet in a small area around the bed. A large storage chest sat in one corner for his items and a wardrobe for his body equipment.\n\n\"This is really nice\" He had an approving smile on his face.\n\nAgeha stood at the door behind him, \"Glad it's to your liking, to be honest I was surprised you could afford this room\"\n\n\"My brother gave me a few presents with the game\"\n\nAgeha smiled at that, \"He must be awesome brother\"\n\n\"He sure is\" He turned to her, \"I promise to think about what we talked about\"\n\nShe walked to him, before holding him to herself in a motherly hug, \"Don't worry about it dear. Getting involved in such matter is really overwhelming, especially if it included two of the strongest guilds in the game\"\n\n\"Thank you Lady Ageha, for this\" He motioned to the room.\n\n\"It's okay, having you pay for it is hardly something to thank us for\" She had a weak smile on her face.\n\nShe bowed to him before leaving him to his devices.\n\nJin immediately began putting away his items and equipment away in the chest and wardrobe.\n\nWhen he was done, he took off his current equipment placing his brush and glass ink gourd on the side, before lying down on the bed.\n\nHis character fell asleep as he logged out.\n\n-----------------------------------------------\n\nJin opened his eyes to find himself in his room, lying down on his bed.\n\nHe took his visor off, but remained on bed.\n\n\"A sex club, huh?\" He thought for a moment before grinning widely, \"This could be interesting\"\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
