Yes, but not for long.

Angelo found himself back in the park where he had started today's quest. After a moment of looking around, he noticed the sun hadn't risen much since he entered. He could have sworn he had been in there for about six hours, wait, oh, right, he had almost forgotten, it was five minutes there to every one here. He took his phone from his pocket, checking the time, it was 9:15 a.m. He looked to the sky then back to his phone, he was pretty sure he entered the illusion barrier around 8:05 a.m. since he woke up at 7:30 a.m. this morning and had breakfast just before coming here. He thought about this a moment, he had been in there for five hours and fifty minutes, well, give or take a minute or two. A new exclamation flashed as he had confirmed his mental math, allowing it to pop up.

Achievement Unlocked!

Geeked out!

Your mental math has bored me!

Reward: + 2 Wisdom and more of my sass.

Don't you feel special!?

He glared at the pop up, feeling he was really being made fun of this time. Another exclamation flashed that he allowed to pop up.

Mr. Obvious has increased to rank 3 - Wisdom bonus has been increased to 3.

He continued to glare, but sighed, saying. "Fine, you made your point." His Wisdom had increased to 32 + (3). A familiar voice chimed in from behind him. "Who made their point?" He turned around quickly, his eyes looking around before locking on his girlfriend, Jasmine. He smiled seeing her. "Hey beautiful, oh, um, I was talking about Gaia." His eyes gave her a quick once over, seeing she was wearing bright orange yoga pants and a bright yellow blouse. "I just got back from a quest." He said proudly, which made Jasmine chuckle. "That's cute. Did you get anything good? More importantly, did you miss me?" She leaned forward as she spoke with a playful smile before continuing. "You fucked someone didn't you?" She lifted a brow with a playful smirk. "I, I, um..what?" He tried to think of how she'd know that as she burst out laughing before saying. "I understand, I probably couldn't keep it in my pants either. Fucking women is rather fun." She leaned up before he could speak, kissing his lips gently. "Don't worry about it. I wouldn't be able to walk again if I tried to satisfy you all by myself." He slipped his hands around her waist while kissing her back. "I see, um, I did miss you though." He said while she leaned against him, nuzzling his chest lightly. "Mm, good. Oh." She said before turning in his embrace. She took his phone from him, he heard a popping sound as she opened it. She arched her back, rubbing her ass teasingly against his crotch while placing something inside of his phone with a clicking sound. His dick was growing quickly hard from her teasing, her ass rubbing more against his crotch. She moan softly, taking a moment before turning back around. "I put a dimensional chip inside your phone. Now your phone will have service inside illusion barriers." She leaned up, kissing his neck gently while handing him his phone. "Now you can keep me up to date when needed." She ran her left hand over his bulge before giving it a tender squeeze. "Consider this payback for not telling me you were going to fuck someone else." She ran her fingers down to squeeze his balls gently, pressing closer to him. "Next time, I want pictures." He nodded with a groan, his hard dick was throbbing from her teasing. "I understand." He put his phone away before pulling her into a deep kiss. She groaned softly, not resisting him. A moment later she pulled back with a soft moan. "Mm, if only I could stay and have you take care of the mess you made." She whispered, kissing his chest before continuing to speak. "I'm starting to hate going to work. Being your girlfriend is almost too stimulating." He chuckled before saying. "I am sorry about that, but I do enjoy spending time with you." She chuckled, nuzzling to him a moment as she said. "Flatterer." He held her gently, kissing the top of her head as she sighed, saying. "I need to go, I have to get to work." She began to pout, but her smile returned when her eyes ran along his body. "Mm, I will come by tonight and fuck your brains out, handsome. I am still excited from seeing those pictures of you having fun with Erin." He blushed, thinking about that moment. "Sounds fair." Nodding as he spoke before continuing. "Don't work too hard. I plan to give you a 'hard' time tonight." She let out a playful groan, smirking before saying. "You better."

After a loving kiss, Jasmine walked off, swaying her hips a bit wider than normal to tease him. He tilted his head watching her fine ass move within her yoga pants, his hard dick straining within his pants. "Damn, woman." He said, under his breath with a groan. His eyes widened as his girlfriend vanished suddenly before his eyes, the ambient sounds were eerily silent, leaving a void to his senses as a notification popped up.

You have been pulled into an Illusion Barrier: Trap.

Cannot escape until owner allows it or is defeated.

An explosion in front of him broke the silence along with his balance. His mind running wild as he was thrown back and onto his ass, that was close, too close for Angelo's comfort. - 5 Hp "Ow." A ringing in his ears was distracting him as he began to look around, the first thing he saw was a small crater about 12 feet from where he had landed, the ringing from Angelo's ears began to fade, he brought a hand to the side of his head as a slightly familiar voice began to speak. "Well, looks like your time is up, Angelo." Angelo's eyes widened as he looked up to see, Timothy Bell, or at least, that is what he had called himself. Timothy was chuckling, saying. "So much for having fun with you when you grew more powerful, but orders are orders." Timothy was walking towards him a creepy smile forming along his lips. Angelo looked him over as he came back to his senses, and used Observe.

Observe:

Title: Dark Servant of the Chosen Faithful, Guild: The Chosen Faithful, Class: Summoner, Lvl: 24

Height: 5' 10", Weight: 160, Name: Willow Dimplehill, Age: 280, Size: 6.5 inches, Body Type: Slender/Fit.

Relationship: 10, Mood: Excited, Amused, Slightly Disappointed, Hp: 450/450, Current thoughts: This sucks, and I thought he was cute too. Maybe master will bring him back to life as a fuck toy for me.

Reading Willow's thoughts made him worry and think, 'Oh no, this guy wants to fuck me.' He mind went elsewhere as he noticed Willow's outfit. Willow was wearing a black cloak with the hood down, a grey vest over a black long sleeved buttoned up t-shirt with matching slacks and dress shoes, with Willow's hood down he could see a hint of glitter upon his cheeks, and slightly pointy ears, wait, was this man an elf, no, wait, a fairy!? His eyes trailed up to see Willow's wavy light green hair that went down to just above his ears, his eyes locking on Willow's for a moment, seeing they were a dark green. Willow paused, putting a hand on his right hip. "Don't tell me you want to beg for your life now. That isn't very attractive." Angelo shook his head as he stood up. "I wouldn't dream of it, Willow." A new exclamation flashed that he allowed to pop up.

Achievement Unlocked!

Making the right assumption.

Deducing someone's race without being told has increased your Observe skill.

Reward: + 2 Wisdom and + 1 Intellect. Observing bonus information: Race.

Willow's eyes widened. As Angelo's Wisdom increased to 34 + (3), and his Intellect to 40 + (8), this increased his mana to 362 and his mana regen to 4.796 per minute. "No, no. You aren't suppose to be powerful enough, scry my information. You must have had help. No one has such an ability this early." Willow looked both upset and worried. "Who told you my name? Who!" Willow almost growled. "No one, I am just strong enough now to see your information." Angelo said with a grin, he used this time to open his inventory with a mental command, equipping his armor, items, and weapon, placing his brown work boots inside before hitting accept.

Instantly after Angelo changed his gear, Willow's eyes widened before speaking. "My my, I haven't seen someone change gear quite like that. It makes me wonder, can you take it off that quickly?" Angelo opened his character sheet to see if his new stats would help him enough.

Granted, he wasn't as powerful as Willow in raw stats, but he was hoping this would be enough. He was fortunate enough to have reapplied his 3% health and mana regen buffs when he ate with Cindy before the bandit attack, his health regen was currently 22.649 per minute and his mana regen was currently 28.336 per minute. Willow scoffed, "Don't think your minor increase in power will save you from me." he said while snapping his fingers as two Angelic Knights like before appeared. He quickly used Observe on them.

Observe:

Title: N/A, Guild: N/A, Class: Angelic Knight, Lvl: 20, Height: 7', Weight: 250

Name: Angelic Knight, Age: 350, Size: N/A, Body type: Athletic, Race: Angel.

Relationship: 0, Mood: Excited, Amused, Pleased Hp: 400/400, Current thoughts: Kill.

Oh, great, they are stronger than the one he summoned the last time. He wondered if he would be lucky enough this time to have his Alluring Spores turn them against their master. "Kill him, just don't harm his crotch or ass. Those are mine for later." Willow commanded, making Angelo's eyes widen. "That interested in fucking me are you?" He said while backing up and readying his sword. He successfully deflected one of the Angelic Knight's attacks as they rushed him, but the other hit his arm hard, gaining him two stacks of Bio Adaptation. - 90 Hp Two new exclamations flashed that he let pop up.

Bio Adaptation has increased to level 2 - Stacks consumed after 10 stacks will increase damage dealt by 15% for 10 seconds.

Biological Harmony has increased to level 2 - Increases health and mana regen by 15%

His base mana regen increased to 5.014 per minute and his base health regen increased from 3.366 to 3.519 per minute. This increased his current health regen with food and items to 23.679 and his current mana regen with food and items to 29.624. Not a bad increase for just one level up of a skill. Willow started to channel a fire spell in his hands, likely the same one he used earlier. "Time to burn, Angelo." As Willow let the spell fly from his hands, Angelo cast Shadow Waltz. - 100 Mp Angelo reappeared behind Willow, casting Focused Strike to increase his damage by 26.25 as he struck Willow's back for a critical, sneak attack, increasing his damage 4 times. 26.25 x 4 = 105 and 62.475 x 4 = 249.9 total (250) That bleed effect kicking in for 40 damage over 5 seconds, stunning him for 2 seconds as well. Two new exclamations flashed, but he ignored them for now. He had sliced through Willow's cloak and the back of his vest and shirt, leaving a rather large cut along his back, making him cry out in pain, meanwhile the fire bomb Willow had cast, hit the two Angelic Knights, incinerating them both, the explosion knocking Willow back against Angelo then onto the ground, the first tick of 8 damage hitting Willow. Angelo put his scimitar's blade to Willow's neck. "Any last words?" The second tick of 8 damage hitting Willow, causing him to wince. "Mm, thank you for not disappointing me, Angelo. I have no regrets." Angelo turned his sword, striking the final blow, taking Willow's head clean off. + 1,000 xp A notification popped up as two new exclamations flashed.

He let out a breath, reading all that before sitting down beside Willow's corpse. 'This was getting to be rather nuts.', he thought, while opening his character sheet. It took him a moment to realize he had leveled up, granting him 5 skill points to spend. He looked over his stats a bit and placed them into Endurance, raising it to 30 + (2). He opened his inventory and noticed he had a new item, Willow's Vest. He used Observe on it.

Observe:

Willow's Vest. Uncommon Quality. Adds 2 inventory slots, so long as it is on you or in your inventory. Materials: Elf's silk and mana infused thread. 50/50 Durability.

It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. He decided to check if Willow had anything on him, checking his pockets, but found nothing of note. He sighed, trying to think of what else to do before he would leave this barrier for good. Only one thing came to mind, he used Observe on Willow's clothing. After a short search he found one item of note, Willow's pants, well, that would have been a preferable name to what they had.

Observe:

Fairy's Slacks. Rare Quality. Adds 4 inventory slots, so long as it is on you or in your inventory. Adds 5 health and mana regen per minute. Materials: Fairy dust, Elf's silk, and mana infused silk thread. 75/75 Durability.

With Willow dead, he removed them from him, folding them up and used clean on them, oddly enough, nothing came of it, they were already clean. - 5 Mp He renamed those slacks, Angelo's Slacks, before putting them into his inventory. He took Willow's black cloak and placed them beside Willow's Vest, using Craft on them. He was thinking of a buttoned up t-shirt and some damage reduction would be nice. He had a notification pop up of his three choices.

Willow's Black Cloak with Willow's Vest and 1 Wolf Pelt, + 50 Mp. Results: Willow's Wolf Pelt Padded T-shirt. Uncommon Quality. Adds 3 inventory slots, so long as it is on you or in your inventory.

Adds 4 inventory slots, so long as it is on you or in your inventory. Reduces damage taken by 5%. Materials: Elf's silk, mana infused thread, Wolf Pelt, and Goblin Loincloth. 60/60 Durability.

Willow's Black Cloak with Willow's Vest, Goblin Loincloth x 4 and 2 Wolf Pelt, + 65 Mp and $100. Results: Wolf Laced Goblin's T-shirt. Rare Quality. Adds 4 inventory slots, so long as it is on you or in your inventory. Reduces damage taken by 10%. Materials: Elf's silk, mana infused thread, Wolf Pelt, and Goblin Loincloth. 70/70 Durability.

He looked over his options, hmm, it only took him a moment to realize he only had one real choice, the Wolf Laced Goblin's T-shirt, it really was the only real good option, it even got rid of some items he didn't really want to keep anyway. He clicked accept, the items required from his inventory vanished, reappearing with the items he had set aside earlier. After a moment they started to morph and melt together, changing into their new form, a lovely looking grey T-shirt, laced with wolf fur. A notification popped up, asking if he wanted to rename it. After a moment he had renamed it, Wolf Laced T-shirt, placing it in his inventory. - 65 Mp and $100 He waited about 3 minutes for his mana to regenerate, placing his items, weapon, and armor back into his inventory, before putting his Brown Work Boots back on.
