Ted Online: Ted Stedman Novel 01 Page 6
He sighed in faux despair, “You can jump me first?” he half asked and half suggested hopefully.
She grinned a bit naughtily, “Something to look forward to for later on, get out of here.”
He actually thought she was probably right. It was hard to admit that though when her flawless and voluptuous body was completely bared to him. He got up and headed back to the bed, and laid down on his back. He brought up the command menu, and then smiled as Mia crawled back into bed and cuddled him. It was probably pathetic of him, but he liked that she wanted to be close to him even if he wouldn’t be there. He brought up The Endless War game in the command window, and clicked the login button…
Chapter Nine
He frowned as he woke up in the bed. His warrior and succubus were no longer there. Maybe they were dismissed automatically when he logged out?
He casted summon lesser demon twice to get them back, and then read a bit more in the newbie guide while his mana slowly rose from a hundred to a hundred forty. It seemed to regen a bit faster in this room than outside.
He studied both, and they were level two now, as was he. They’d both hit a little harder, and the succubus had a greater chance to confuse the enemies. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but she looked a bit more… sexy as well. He wasn’t sure if that was because of the level change, or because he’d been horny when Mia sent him in here.
He checked his stats one more time before he got up.

Good enough.
He got up and headed down the stairs and out into the street. He looked around at all the stalls and people. He shook his head, wondering what he was looking for, and headed toward the south gate. The demon didn’t look all that confident he’d be coming back alive, but at least he didn’t sneer this time.
He moved out cautiously, and checked each of the intersections out before moving forward. It was the third block this time, and he saw another food cart, this one had four angels around it. He concentrated on them, and saw they were level three. This would be a much harder fight.
Based on the fact he was a block further, he guessed the angels would get higher in level the further he roamed from the city.
He waited again, this time a pair of them picked a large box of food up and carried it into one of the buildings.
He ordered his warrior to attack one, and the succubus to attack the second. Then he followed them both out and casted fiend fire. The angels gave off a war cry and drew their long swords as his target blocked with angel’s wings.
He casted fiend fire two more times on the same one, and the warrior beheaded the angel as his wings turned to dust. Then it was three on one, and he only casted fiend fire once. He was down to a hundred and one mana as the second died quickly.
There was a popup.
You have leveled! You are now level 3!
Damnit, he cleared the annoying popup and fired Fiend Fire at the angel coming out of the door. The second fight went pretty much like the first had. His demons still seemed in decent shape, and he hadn’t been hit at all. He went into the settings and suppressed popups during battle, and then put all his points into wisdom. He’d have to work on intelligence and constitution next time.
He summoned a third demon, another warrior, and checked his stats.

He wondered what Mia was doing, and shook his head to clear it. They grabbed the cart and took it back to the town. He got a little experience for it, only about ten percent toward another level though, so he probably wouldn’t bother doing that again. It took too much time.
He headed back out with his army of three, the walk had brought his mana back up to almost eighty, and he started to take out all the groups of angels in the area. With three of them, fighting four angels split up, he hardly had to do anything and just held back while his team double teamed one angel and tripled teamed the second.
He’d gained a few levels and was several blocks away when he saw a blockade in front of a building. He watched from an alley for a few minutes, and saw several angels move out with some food. Obviously this was their food depot where they fed the people of the city from. There were six guards outside the building, all level five.
He grinned, and decided the hell with it, and shot fiend fire across the street into one of the angels. The angel cried out and charged as he pulled his sword.
As he’d hoped, two stayed behind to guard the door, and by the time they took down those four, two more angels had come out, so he fired another bolt of fiend fire. For a while he thought there would be an endless number of angels, but eventually they stopped replacing themselves, and he stood in the middle of the street surrounded by close to forty swords and had leveled a number of times.
He wasn’t even sure what level he was anymore, his view got spammed by level messages when the angels ran out, so he opened up the screen to assign points. He increased his strength, intelligence and constitution, but gave the lion’s share to wisdom again. Then he looted all the corpses, and checked his stats again.

If he was level ten, he was probably done with this area. Still, he summoned another warrior, succubus and an imp. Now he had three warriors, two succubae, and spell caster. He grinned, he could already summon two of the advanced kind of demon, and he still had ten more levels before he could learn that spell.
Regardless, before he left he figured he’d nose around the depot a bit, see what was in there.
He took a moment to load all the swords on top of a food cart for the return trip, and hoped no one would steal it while he was snooping around. He just couldn’t fit that many swords in his pack. Right now it held ten of them.
He walked into the building and looked around. It was a warehouse of food storage. There wasn’t anything else really there in the main room, so he went to the back, and opened a door that lead to an office. He looked in and saw an old angel behind a desk, and he concentrated for a moment. He was level twenty and had close to six hundred hit points.
The old angel stood up and pulled his sword, “Who are you, how did you get in here?”
He almost shrugged but held it back, and simply said, “Your angels have been vanquished, give it up old one.”
The angel looked furious and his sword started to glow.
Oh crap.
He sent in his three warriors and two succubae and casted fiend fire, which did between thirty and thirty-eight damage now. Although that didn’t seem nearly as impressive anymore. The imp casted what looked like lightning as his troops closed in for melee combat.
The angel attacked one of the succubae, and knocked her back even though she blocked.
He winced at the amount of damage, and casted fiend fire until he ran out of mana. The fight was brutal, and the angel managed to kill two of his warriors, and one of his succubae, but in the end he fell.
You have leveled! You
are now level 11!
You have leveled! You are now level 12!
He frowned, that fight had been worth a lot! He grabbed the sword, and searched the angel. He found a ring, and eight gold. He searched the office rather thoroughly, but didn’t come up with anything. He examined both the sword and the ring.
The sword was level twenty, and it was also worth close to four hundred gold. The ring didn’t have a level, and added ten to constitution and strength. He put the sword away to sell, and put the ring on. Then he assigned the points from the two levels, and split them between intelligence and wisdom. Then he checked his stats.

Not bad for a few hours of work. He noticed his mana was regenerating much quicker with his higher intelligence. He also knew his fiend fire would be thirty-nine to forty-nine now. He was only a little past halfway to twenty when he could gain more powerful spells, but he wondered if he could learn charm yet. He thought he probably could.
Come to think of it, all Genevieve had said was advanced summoning wasn’t until level twenty, that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be other spells before that, he needed to go see her.
He moved back outside and had his remaining warriors push the cart full of food and swords. He stopped right outside the gate, he didn’t want them to drag off the cart with swords on them. He went in and sold the ten swords he had, plus the level twenty sword, and made three hundred fifteen gold on them.
He took five more trips to the cart, ten swords each, and got fifteen gold per trip. That was another seventy-five gold. Then he brought the cart in for what it was worth, about two percent toward the next level. He shrugged, it wasn’t much experience, but there was no sense in leaving it right outside the gate. He also had four hundred and thirty-six gold.
He went back to the weapon guy and looked at what staves he had. They were either really bad, or really expensive, he needed to find a good one out in the game.
He took out his map to try and figure out where to go next, he was mostly done for the day but wanted a plan for next time. South in the slums seemed to be the angel food charity, to the west was a demon claimed area. He definitely wasn’t ready to go north, so he checked out the east.
There wasn’t much on the map. Angel held territory, there was a jail there, several apartment buildings, government buildings, and an angel starting point much like the demon one he was in. He’d go explore another time. He turned and found the right alley, went through the door, and down to the basement.
Genevieve looked at him with a hungry expression, “My, my, Ted, you have grown haven’t you. What can I do for you?” she asked rather suggestively.
He smiled, this game was so over the top.
“What spells are available for me to learn?”
She managed to look disappointed and replied, “You can learn two more spells, one every five levels. The only first level spell left is charm. There are three tenth level spells. Balefire which is similar to fiend fire, except it’s sentient and will hungrily jump from one angel to another up to five times. It costs twenty-five mana to cast.
He thought that one sounded good, although it would only be worth casting if there were three or more enemies, otherwise two Fiend Fires would be cheaper in mana.
She continued, “The second tenth level spell available to a demon knight is Demonic Aura. It will slightly increase the attack speed and damage dealt by your summoned creatures, it can also enhance special abilities, so your succubus will be able to make your enemies even more inept in battle. This cost twenty mana to cast and lasts for one hour.
She smiled and licked her lips, “The third tenth level spell available to a demon knight is Sacrifice. The cost is only five mana, and it will sacrifice one of your summoned demons for you to absorb half its remaining life to heal yourself.”
He felt greedy, because he wanted all four of them, but honestly charm was pretty easy to drop off his consideration. He also discarded sacrifice, if he was in dire straits, most likely all of his summoned creatures would already be dead. He could always add it at level fifteen, but he worried about what spells would be available at level twenty, what if he wanted two of those more?
He shook his head. He would wait until he got to level twenty before he decided on sacrifice for good, but would wait.
He said firmly, “Balefire and Demonic Aura please.”
This time when the demoness kissed him, he kissed her back. She had a large grin on her face as she backed away.
You can now cast Balefire!
You can now cast Demonic Aura!
She asked hopefully, “Is there… anything else I can do for you?”
He laughed, “No thanks Genevieve.”
She pouted at him as he left the room, and went back up to town.
He was about to head to the tavern and log out when he got a popup.
Kara: Ted! Level twelve already? Stop killing stuff and come hang out at the tavern. You’re making me look bad, I’ve only got one more level since we met.
Ted: Hi Kara, is that an order?
Kara: Damned right it is, come drink with us. I have commanded it!
He chuckled, and was rather intrigued by the offer, although a bit confused. They’d hardly even talked, and from what he remembered Kara was smoking hot in her leather bustier body suit. She’d seemed a little snarky and fun as he recalled as well.
He was headed there anyway for a room, so he walked into the tavern and looked around. He saw her right away, the bright red ponytail stuck out in the crowd. The armor not so much, most of the women were wearing something very similar, bustier or leather bikini seemed to be the primary choices. Although she wore it very well indeed.
He grunted, speaking of leather bikinis, there was a woman with Kara that was wearing one. She had dark tanned skin, long raven black hair, green eyes, and her double D breasts looked like they might bust out of her leather bikini top any moment. The two of them seemed to be alone. He looked closely at the other girl, and her stats came up. She was a level twenty-one Demon-warrior and her name was Nicci.
He dismissed his remaining summoned demons, walked over with a slight smile on his face, and nodded when she saw him…
Chapter Ten
Kara grinned, “That was quick. This is Nicci, she’s kind of shy.”
He nodded in greeting, “I was right outside pretty much. Nice to meet you Nicci.”
She smiled shyly, “You too.”
Kara said, “My normal group flaked on me today, except for Nicci of course.”
He smiled and said confidently, “Their loss… my gain.”
Nicci blushed and Kara waved over the barmaid who was dressed in a rather skimpy outfit.
She asked, “What do you want?” in a soft voice.
The three of them ordered drinks. He wasn’t sure if he could actually get drunk in here, but they could simulate a buzz at least.
They chatted for a while, they were both college students and actually dorm room mates.
Kara leaned down and whispered something in Nicci’s ear. She blushed again, but nodded.
Kara turned to him and asked, “Do you have a room yet?”
He shook his head, “Not yet.”
She smiled and looked him up and down boldly, “Would you like to check out ours?”
His cock stirred, she moved fast. Considering the game and outfits, he wasn’t all that surprised. Of course, this was the virtual world, violence and disease wasn’t an issue at all here. The VR gear they used wasn’t a full experience like he had, it wouldn’t feel real to them completely, but he supposed it would be better than a vibrator, and the
y could at least make a connection with him person to person, even if it wouldn’t feel quite the same.
“I’d love too,” he said as he lifted his beer glass and drained it.
She smiled, and kissed Nicci passionately right in front of him. He was definitely growing in size.
Then she took his hand, and pulled him to his feet. She went to walk by him but he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. She was stiff for a minute in surprise, and then moaned approvingly into his mouth, and plastered herself against him.
She reached around and squeezed his ass, “I love a man that takes what he wants.”
He took her hand, and Nicci’s, who blushed but looked at him meaningfully in the eyes. She was a shy one, but he bet she was wild in bed. One way to find out. They moved up the stairs, and she let them all into her room.
Kara kissed him again as she pulled off his armor, and he returned the favor. The armor hadn’t left much to the imagination, but her body was better than he’d pictured as she plastered herself against him and claimed a kiss.
He grabbed her by the pony tail and kissed her harder, and then felt two very large, soft, supple breasts push against his back, and then felt Nicci grind her heat up against the back of one of his legs. He moaned softly into Kara’s mouth and squeezed her ass, and then he turned.
Nicci looked up at him as if waiting for an order, he bent down and kissed her hard, and she grabbed his cock and started to stroke it. He felt Kara press up against his back and then felt her drag her nipples down his body, over his ass, and then on his legs. Then he felt something warm, wet, and hot probing at his asshole.
Holy crap, at first it felt wrong, like a violation, but then it transformed into a feeling of dirty pleasure as she poked her tongue into his dark star.
He moaned into Nicci’s mouth and kissed her harder. He slapped Nicci’s ass hard, and then pushed down on her head firmly. As he’d suspected, the girl was a submissive, and she dropped to her knees. He couldn’t help but push his ass back into Kara’s face, her tongue started to feel really good rimming his ass. Nicci looked up at him and then spit on her breasts, and lifted the double Ds up and wrapped his cock up in them, and then bent her head and sucked the head of his cock into her warm hot mouth. Her tongue started to do amazing things and in conjunction with the suction of her lips, it formed a whirlpool of pleasure around his sensitive tip.
