Safe and secure.

Arriving last at the castle, John was now fully healed. The last trip had June driving with John sandwiched between her and Sylvia. As soon as he entered the place, he was welcomed by a slap from Anna, followed by a kiss and her resting her head on his shoulder, hugging him tightly.

"What the hell did you do out there? You go away for hours, and when we finally find you... You were risking your life in who knows what? John, look around, you have people who love you, who count on you now. You can't do things like that without even warning anyone," she scolded him. John looked around and realized that she was right. He had been stupid, he should have asked Cali to come explore with him and then taken Sylvia as support to the circle, having a healer was useless if she didn't even know someone might need help.

"Listen... I'm really sorry... I just went exploring and mining for a bit; it took a while, but I've found a spot for a mine... On the way back I just wanted to check an idea that I had for the Arcane Sanctum. I did meditate in the circle before, and it didn't do anything like that. It was just a way to try to see if it would reveal something to me on how to make one... And since this gem I obtained earlier was linked to the element of the circle, I thought that it would be a good focus to get the right outcome from the Meditation skill. And it worked... In a crazy way, but it did..." he explained, trying to remain serious and apologetic while being pressed naked against his girlfriend with an audience of naked ladies (including his mother) watching them.

"John, this was horrible. I thought that you were dying..." said his mother.

"Sorry, I had no way of knowing it would do that; it was that gem which reacted to it. I'll be more careful now, and I should not have done this alone. But now I know how to build an arcane sanctum; it will allow us to set more way points per ring, change the spawn point of the kingdom, teleport around here and even more. I got 4 new spells from this, and I also think I finished a quest too," he explained.

Anna looked at him and realized that it was in his nature to be more excited about what he got from the event than the risks that he took to get it. In a sense, if he had been constantly worrying about the risks, nothing around them would be there: the kingdom obtained as loot, Sylvia a defeated boss, Cali and Vesta rescued in a dangerous adventure, her whom he took the risk to ask out...

"Hmm, he's too excited to be really sorry; come on show us this thing. But no more dangerous stuff without someone to help or rescue you if needed!" said Anna.

"Promise! I need to go to the computer room," he replied. The group followed him and watched him put the twenty sided gem on the scanner. The shock when the result appeared on the screen was astounding.

"Fifty millions? For this?" muttered Brenda. The multiple non human girls had little idea how much money it was apart from the huge number, but the three human ones were astonished.

New Kingdom Element: Treasure Vault.
With all the booty and chests that you are hoarding, time to use some protection!
Your castle now has a treasure vault to store the loot that you gather during your adventures and the money that you make from other sources. It has multiple properties such as changing money in different currencies, acting as a bank or paying you 2% monthly interest on any money left untouched in it for more than a month.
Associated creature: Guardian Dargon.

"A dragon!" he screamed like a kid opening his Christmas presents.

"What?" replied most of the girls at the same time.

"The creature that I get from the vault being added to the kingdom is a dragon... So cool!"

John was very excited about this his own dragon to guard his treasure, but he found it really strange that there was a typo in the message.

New Kingdom Element: Sign of Wealth.
You're rich now, you can't live in this dump! Time to pimp this place! Oh and don't try to be sneaky and sell this stuff, this is only cosmetic!
Associated creatures: Peacocks.

John blinked when this one appeared. Everything around him had just changed slightly. The rough blocks of stones forming the walls and floors of the rooms of his castle had changed from the dark grey to perfectly flat and neatly adjusted squares of a cream colored marble. The computer’s simple look had been replaced by a strange looking surface of bronze and gold with various circuitry and designs reminding him of his coat of arms. The floor was now covered by some hardwood floor and a dark purple carpet.

"Now that is something new! Is this only in this room?" asked June, clearly excited by the last change.

"Let's see on our way to the vault," John replied. He was pretty sure that it would apply to the whole castle, but had no idea in which way.

The door had changed: the sturdy burnished steel door of the control room was now looking like it was made of bronze, with inlays of gold and silver. The metal bracing on the wall that he had got when unlocking the Tech Dungeon upgrade was still present, but it had changed in the same way: each element of it showing the same geometric pattern in precious metals, more the palace of an Emperor than the dungeon of a mad scientist...

Walking out of the room, the dining area had received the same treatment: the furniture looked more expensive, the chairs now cushioned in dark leather. The door to every room was now made of a beautiful brown wood, with brass doorknobs and bracing. His room had his coat of arms on it, the kitchen had a wood carving of a chicken drumstick with a bite missing, the library an open book and the toilets a WC carving.

The joints of the angles of the room were perfectly smooth, the stairs had handrails of polished wood on a bronze support. John could see how amazed everyone was with this. Some of the girls were touching every surface like they were unsure if it was real. John did not know exactly where the vault was, but the first basement had all five rooms occupied, so going down was the logical option.

The door to the courtesan room was of a darker wood covered with black leather; there was a stylized heart on it. The vault was easy to spot now, just on the right to it. There was no door where most rooms had one, instead it led directly to an entry room with a desk facing the entrance. Everyone followed John inside.

On both sides of the room, there were what looked like lockers with screens on the doors; some of them had the name of one of the kingdom's residents or subject on it.

Approaching the desk an interface pop up opened in front of John displaying a plan of the vault and a list of instructions.

John discovered that each member of the kingdom had the possibility to store their possessions in what was a very secure magic chest system, as well as to open a bank account to store money. Joint accounts with a list of access permissions and limits on drafts could be made. He activated the option to transfer the valuables stored in the kingdom’s various chests into the vault (a one time option) and transferred all of his money bar ten thousand dollars into his account. People with rings were apparently able to use it as a credit card, withdrawing money from their account at a distance (not depositing it though).

John also learned that he could create his own currency, coins that were not made of a real precious metal but could be used to display his wealth in the vault in something other than normal currency. Remembering how awesome his two chests of fantasy coins were in comparison to the small stacks of dollars bills despite being worth a lot less, it seemed like an excellent idea to John. The interface was easy to use, one face of the coin would be the Arcadian coat of arms and the other would have either his or Anna's face on it. He had found the perfect picture of her, blushing and smiling as he had complimented her, to use as her model. This currency would only work in the kingdom and could be exchanged for real money here at the vault. When entering the name of the currency, John giggled as he typed Token, what better name for coins in Arcadia, the kingdom of the Gamer.

He explained quickly to everyone how this part of the vault worked. There were even a set of lockers that were accessible to any members of the castle to store crafting materials. And another one that was only to deposit precious items to store in the vault itself.

"John, come on. We know that you are dying to see your dragon, open the damn door!" said Anna, poking his side with a finger. She could have done it herself actually; the very large vault door behind the desk could be opened by the two rulers, the chancellor and the treasurer if there was one.

John touched the door, focused on it and stepped back as it opened.

The inside was glowing with golden light; there were many light globes in the room, focused on a central platform where there was a huge pile of treasures. He had his two chests of coins from his last dungeon, gems, the huge bit of dwarven alloy and around 150000 golden tokens in a big pile. A pile that was moving as they entered. John was surprised to see no dragon in the room, but when the shuffling in the coins stopped with an explosion, he understood why...

It wasn't a typo...

"Behold, the mighty Dargon, Guardian of the treasure!" exclaimed a two foot tall, humanoid creature that had technically most attributes of a dragon: horns, red scales, wings, claws, a tail... But it looked too cute and derpy to be taken seriously as a Guardian of anything; it was wearing a belt, with a small book sticking out of a pouch hanging from it.

"It's so cute! What is that?" asked June, rushing towards the creature who seemed surprised by the arrival of more than half a dozen naked people.

"I really thought that it was a typo... The quest reward said I would get a Guardian Dargon, but since I had no idea this was even a thing, it had to be typo, right? So what are you?" he asked the small creature as it was getting hugged by June intent on patting it and playing with the little puff of hair on top of its head.

"’Tis I, the Dargon. I'm here to guard the treasure; I even have the book to keep track of every single coin," he said, making the small book levitate in front of him. "But this is good too, pats are awesome, I like them!"

"Well, apparently we have a dargon now, whatever this may be," admitted John, convinced that he would not get a more informative answer from the creature.

"It's like a chibi dragon! Are you hungry?" asked Anna. Seeing the light in his eyes when she asked, she produced a plate of food that she had kept stored in her ring.

"Treasures, pats, food, I'm never leaving this place!" said the small creature while eating the assortment of finger food.

This vault had some magical properties: the money of all bank accounts would be displayed here either in the same pile of loot or multiple ones but could only be taken out of the vault by its rightful owner; John couldn't wait for the pile to grow and fill out the room; this was something that he had always liked in video games.

Letting the girls play with their new pet, John walked to the small door at the other end of the vault. He was the only one who could open this one, and it would close behind him. Inside of there was a series of reinforced deposit boxes of various sizes, covered with runes. This place was there more to store the dangerous than the precious. He left the newly formed gem and the flakes here, one box contained the last flask of Outsider ichor that he had kept from the Order, the mysterious incomplete tome which he kept finding fragments of; he expected to find the weird puzzle box here too, but it really seemed like no magic could touch it.

When he exited the room, his mighty Guardian Dargon was fast asleep on a pile of coins. With the girls watching him sleep or playing with the coins.

"Do you think that you can add him to the kingdom?" asked Anna.

"He doesn't show on the list of possible subjects, I checked already," he replied. "It's already getting late, why not get a good night of sleep? That is one of the perks of this place."

"I have to go home, sweetie. Some things to finish. But if your girl here can come fetch me now and again, I'll bring some of my stuff to work here. I wouldn't say no to some extra time, and there is excellent company," said June kissing him long after saying it. She retreated to reveal his massive erection after having groped him during the kiss.

"I guess I will go to my room here and leave you to some time together, discovering this place was wonderful," said Brenda. Seeing the puzzled look on Daphne's face, she took her hand. "It’s your room too; I don't mind sharing and wouldn't want to kick you out."

She dragged the slime girl inside of the room and closed it behind her.

"I have begun to work on the elixir with the recipe that mistress Tricia gave us. The new equipment is wonderful; I will return to it if you don't need further healing," said Sylvia, John nodded, and she moved away to the lab.

"I... This was so much last time... I need more time to recover. We have a nice spot to sleep in the glade, I'll spend the night there," said Vesta, whose synthetic skin perfectly showed some heavy blushing as she said it.

"And I'll go take care of my little sister now that you used your magic wand on her," said Cali before following her out.

"Just us then. You think that I didn't see what you did with the coins? Tokens? With me blushing on it?" said Anna accusingly.

"How do you know that you are blushing, the coins are solid gold, no color at all? Alright yes, but it's not my fault if that's when I find you the most beautiful!" he said, making her blush by doing so. Seeing his smile, she started pouting, but very unconvincingly.

"You scared me to ****, John. I thought I was losing you. You can't..." she said.

"Let's go to our room, I'll prove to you that I'm alive..."

The royal bedroom had changed like rest of the castle: The whole floor was carpeted in some fluffy dark purple material, softer than anything John had seen on earth. The bed now had a head stand in wood, covered by some of the same material as the mattress, allowing people to recline on it more easily. There was once again his coat of arms hung on the wall above the bed. The night stand was upgraded too, and there was a light globe on a sort of golden sculpture resting on it. John discovered that he could dim or turn off the globes on the ceiling.

In bed he kissed Anna, hugging her, letting her feel the warmth of his body. He burrowed his face in her ample chest, kissing, licking her breasts and suckling on her nipples. He could see that they were very sensitive; she was twitching each time he playfully nibbled on them.

"Stop... It's..."

"Stop doing that?" he asked, nibbling on them one last time.

"Yes... No... I need you... Inside of me... Your mom... She... She's such a tease... I showed her how to use the slime bed; she has kept me on edge the whole time… and before that I saw you ravish Vesta until she literally overheated. I need you! Now! Do your best!" she said, grabbing his dick.

"Famous last words, but hey, I live to serve you!" he joked. He used a charge of Arouse on her; it might be unneeded, but he had been asked for his best. He chugged a mouthful of the last batch of dryad elixir from a vial and shared it with her in a kiss. Then he gave her his best. Foreplay at this stage would be ****, this was too far for that. He pressed the tip of his cock against her pussy, and it slipped inside the well lubricated hole with almost no resistance. This marked the start. In one instant he started using Move with as many instances as he could control. There was a pair of lips sucking on her clitoris, tongues licking a pussy already full with his large member, hands caressing and groping her ass and tits, dozens of tongues slowly licking her skin.

Closing his eyes, John could almost see her from the 3D image formed by the touch all around her body; he wasn't only controlling all of these, he was also getting feelings from them, such as the spectral cocks sliding in the crack of her ass or between her tits.

"There too... I want everything!" she moaned.

John pushed a finger toward her backdoor and used Clean after probing it gently. He slid one of the spectral cocks inside, dialing the size of it down to get less resistance. Her moans were getting louder with each minute. He came in her four times, continuing without pause, the constant flux of pleasure overloading his brain to the point where keeping control of everything became difficult.

Before losing control and with his mana getting lower, he pushed a last time, stimulating her entire body at once, and she moaned one last time, struck by a massive orgasm that made her roll her eyes and pant. John simply rested his face on her soft chest and closed his eyes, as the bed was already cleaning them from all the sweat and various fluids.
