A new day

The early morning sun was peeking through the curtains, causing John to squint as he awoke. Seeing his HP/MP bars present in his vision still confirmed that the previous day’s events were not a dream. A disorientating feeling hit him as he started rising. He caressed his head to ease the nauseating feeling. “Urgh, no wonder that skill has such a long cooldown.” He assumed the dizzy feeling was a lingering side effect from using Psychometry, until he noticed an alert.

Negative Status Effect: Light Dehydration
Debuff, INT and WIS stats reduced by 25%
Drink 8 ounces of water to neutralize the debuff.

Glancing at the Kingdom Hearts themed alarm clock on his bed stand, the time read six thirty. ’How long was I out for?’ the Gamer pondered, in the act of pushing himself upright. Normally digging through his text messages was the best way for him to map out his previous day, so he attempted using that method. Even for a socially shunned nerd at the bottom of the popularity food chain, his messenger app would be filled with small conversations with Meadow and his parents. The miniscule amount of texts was an odd way to reinforce the loss of his friend, silent tears formed in his eyes as a result of this abrupt realization.

After a few minutes of crying in bed, he **** himself into a seated position on the edge of his bed. ’Yesterday, I resolved myself to do my best to find Meadow; lying in bed crying does nothing for either of us. First thing I’ll do is resolve this fuzzy feeling in my head.’ Deciding not to waste precious time, he wiped away his tears, then he pulled a black pair of basic shorts out of his dresser, so he could make his way to the kitchen.

Entering the kitchen, John was assaulted by the alluring scent of hickory smoked bacon. Brenda was at the stove cooking breakfast for them. There was a glass of orange juice at his usual seat. “Hey Mom, breakfast smells good,” he greeted his mother as he downed the glass of juice in hopes of relieving his debuff. His next alert confirmed that that was the case.

**Negative Status Effect resolved
Stats INT and WIS returned to normal.”

“Good morning, John, you had a long rest. You’re looking handsome,” she returned his greeting, adding her usual compliment while preparing a plate of food for him.

“Yea, Mom, I was exhausted and nodded off the minute I laid down,” he responded, taking his seat after pouring himself another glass of orange juice.

His mother placed a plate of food in front of him. “Will you be alright going to class today, sweetie?” she asked, placing a kiss on his forehead and running her hand through his hair. Her concern for his well being was very apparent to him.

“I think it will be helpful. If I stayed here, I wouldn’t be able to think of anything other than Meadow since most of my hobbies are ones I share with her.” While his response was technically true, the real reason he said this to her was because he felt the best thing to do was to meet up with Jasmine, like they planned before parting.

“If you think that’s best,” she said, taking her seat next to his, with a plate of food for herself and a cup of coffee.

His breakfast consisted of bacon, toast and grits with cheese. He loved the way his mother cooked bacon, always leaving it nice and chewy as opposed to the crisp dried out bacon that was pretty common whenever he ate out. He would place some of his grits on the toast and eat it like that, this was a habit he developed as a kid that he never grew out of. Mother and son spent the next ten minutes eating in silence. “Thanks, Mom, your cooking was delicious as always. I’m going to take a shower and get ready to head out.” After depositing his dishes into the sink, he hurried upstairs to the bathroom.

Under the warm caress of the water, he began his daily masturbation ritual, which had fresh spank material. He vividly remembered his tryst with the lovely ebony reporter in her car. He paused in the process after feeling the alteration to his penis for the first time. Examining his stiff member, he was happy at the unexpected boon he received, as one of the things he was constantly made fun of was the length of his penis that his bullies spread throughout the school. John finished cleaning himself after a satisfying release.

Back in his room he sent a text message to Jasmine, letting her know he was running on schedule and would meet her at the agreed upon time. Her reply was a simple thumbs up. Done making sure his plans were secured, the Gamer decided it was best to find a spare set of clothes that he didn't mind ruining. Eventually he settled on an old pair of grey sweats and a worn navy blue shirt that he tossed into his inventory. He also used this chance to remove some of the extra crap from his Inventory, including the spare uniform. He made a mental note to toss the two ruined uniforms when he had a chance, while manipulating his menu to equip his clothes.

Done with his preparations, John had considered using the twelve unassigned stat points to raise his stats. He decided to wait and see how best to use these points, maybe getting some input from Jasmine.

Checking the time, he grabbed his knapsack and rushed downstairs. “Mom, I’m heading out to the bus now,” he hollered as he made his way to the front door.

Brenda came out to see him off as usual; this was a daily occurrence that they had done ever since she stopped walking him to the bus stop. “Are you sure you’ll be alright, John?” she asked for the second time.

“Like I said at breakfast, I think it would be better if I’m out of the house. Unless you want me to spend all day moping around, school is for once a welcome distraction,” John, lied, putting his increased charisma to the task of fooling his mother and hiding his true feelings from her.

The mother leaned in to give him a hug and a kiss. “If you have any problems today, call me immediately, I’ll come pick you up,” she said, still concerned about him. “Here, take this as well, I figured you probably burned through most of the money I gave you yesterday.” She pushed a twenty dollar bill into his hand.

“Thanks Mom. I’ll call you if anything happens. I love you.” John slipped the money into his pocket before stealthily depositing it into his inventory, adding more on top of his new found abundance of cash. He gave the doting parent a bright smile to further hide any of his true feelings before walking out the door.

“Love you too,” she returned. Her face full of concern, she closed the door behind him.

Walking toward the bus stop, he cleared his thoughts and focused on the warm weather. The day was slightly cloudy, providing some nice shade from the summer sun. A nice cool breeze embraced him as he basked in nature’s gifts.

Arriving at the bus stop two minutes later, he saw the gorgeous reporter leaning against her car, smoking another cigarette. She wore a tight pair of red jeans and a snug white top. “Good morning, Jasmine, I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.”

“No, I got here right on time. Hop in, there’s somewhere I need to take you,” she responded flatly, gesturing for him to get into the vehicle while extinguishing her cigarette.

Entering the car, the Gamer was instantly reminded of the events of the previous day. These memories caused his erection to strain in his pants almost immediately. He was trying to adjust himself to hide his obvious arousal when Jasmine sat down and started driving. “Seems like somebody has fond memories of yesterday. Would you like me to help with that?” Her giant grin was obvious on her face even with her focusing on the road. One hand on the steering wheel, the other resting on his cock.

“Um, Jasmine, maybe you should focus on the road.” His voice cracked when he felt her gently stroking him through his pants.

“Don’t worry your pretty little cock, my eyes are focused on the road.” She was laughing hard as her pace increased. “ As for my hands, well I could drive without them, you saw how well I could manipulate my shadow yesterday. Strip off your bottoms so I can have more direct contact with your tool.”

His resistance disappeared as his arousal took control, and he promptly stripped. Even though he had a satisfying self love session in the shower, he was not going to deny himself the pleasure Jasmine could give. The way her hand stroked his manhood was intoxicating; he enjoyed each drawn out stroke of his cock. The gamer was relaxing in his seat, eyes closed as he enjoyed her gentle touches on his cock in relative silence. “So, tell me about Meadow?” she asked, breaking the silence to inquire about his crush..

The question ripped him out of his reverie. “I don’t want to talk about Meadow while you're jerking me off. That's wrong,” he stammered awkwardly in a high pitched squeal, uncomfortable thinking about Meadow. “Jasmine, let go of my penis, this is not an appropriate time to be asking questions.”

“I find it best to ask men questions when you have them by the cock. For some reason they seem to be more honest,” the reporter joked seductively. When she stopped at a light, she took the opportunity to use her mouth to give his dick a bit of oral stimulation to add some extra incentive. “So tell me about her.”

John grit his teeth and moaned, loving the sensations of her tongue licking around his cockhead. “I don’t want to talk about the girl I love while another woman is playing with my penis.” For the first time, he admitted his feelings out loud. “What I meant is, it’s inappropriate to talk about her during this time while we are trying to save her.” Attempting damage control, he tried altering his statement, though he was having a hard time focusing.

“Aw, John, I already knew you were in love with your friend.” Now she was not only teasing him physically, but mentally as well. Her strokes were long and gentle. She stopped suddenly as the pressure in his balls was reaching capacity.

“Why’d you stop? Please keep going, I need to cum,” he pleaded, her hand resting on his thigh, fingers lightly tapping his balls. He reached out to finish himself, but was stopped by a few shadow tendrils grasping his wrists.

“None of that. In my experience, nobody needs to cum. If you want me to finish what I started, you should tell me why you aren’t dating your little friend if she holds so much of your heart?”

“Please, just let me cum?” he begged. Her hand began stroking him at an agonizingly slow pace. Part of him wanted to resist and keep quiet but his arousal won that battle. “Fine, I’ll tell you. Meadow and I had been friends all our lives. When we were fifteen she started asking me questions like what gift would a boy like and such. Oh yeah, that feels amazing.” He moaned feeling Jasmine lick the underside of his dick a few times. Barely able to pay attention to his surroundings, he assumed she had hit another light. “Since I knew she went to an all girls school, I figured this was her dropping hints for me. So, I mustered up my courage and asked her out the next day. She shot me down, telling me the boy she was interested in went to her gym. I was too embarrassed and things were awkward between us for a few months. Now, will you please let me cum?” Begging her to stop her interrogation, he was embarrassed that he gave in so easily.

Arriving at their destination, she parked the car and began bobbing her head in his lap, pulling all the stops in pleasuring him. Her blowjob technique was mind numbing, especially after being edged a few times. More shadow tendrils started to tease his nipples while she sucked him. He felt a finger probing his rear opening; he wanted to protest, but he decided to shut up and let her do her thing. Before she had a chance to probe deeply, her work brought him over the edge, and he unloaded his seed into her expecting mouth. “Tasty.” She smirked, tossing a mint in her mouth. “I’m going to assume you hadn’t asked her since then, to protect your feelings.”
