I left Howl and started to move forward, but I was immediately met with fierce resistance. As I assumed, the pressure started to worsen, but each step crushed my foot into the ground the moment I put pressure on them.

On top of the crushing steps, it felt like my head was going to explode. My body was under vice-like pressure that was hard to describe.

It was like being pressed from all angles on every inch of my body. Not only did it press in on me, but the farther I pushed in, the thinner the air seemed to get.

Finally, I had to stop to catch my breath, and I was sorely tempted to sit down, but I knew it would be that much harder to get up this time. I need to keep pressing forward, but the closer I got, the harder it was, obviously, like Chez had said.

[Take ten steps back.] Harold said out of nowhere after remaining silent.

'Really? Do you know how hard it was to take those ten steps?'

I was only just out of sight from Howl now, and I wa

    [View of Calabro, the Manticore and Mex, the Ex-Demon Lord]"This will only get worse if you keep this up, you fool!" Mex yelled at the Manticore, Calabro.The Manticore was now in a more anthropomorphic lion man's body with wings and the scorpion tail still, but none of those things seemed to slow Calabro. He would get Mex for the wrong that he never did to him.Calabro was sure that Mex had stolen his love, Candice, from him. The Manticore had known the Sphinx girl's parents before they had been killed.Their deaths occurred when Dao and Mex landed on the island, but Mex was the one to save them.No story is ever that simple, and now the story will rewind time back to the point when the men first met. This is the tale of Mex and Calabora when Mex first arrived on the island.During the first landing on the island, Calabro had hidden while Candace and Veronica's parents had been killed. Yet, he still assumed that he had been wronged by the

    "The wall isn't going to give you the answers that you are looking for," Mex said as he sipped his tea, watching Calabro.The Manticore turned his lion head back to The Demon Lord and now was giving him a pointed look. Calabro always hated how this creature always displayed such calmness, no matter the situation."Getting excited or upset won't help anything. Now, I can see how you were tricked. The Witch of the Sea can change her body to he chooses. What I am having trouble figuring out is how you were able to get away?" Mex asked after digging into the beast's mind.The Manticore tried to jump up to yell at Mex, but then Mex Tea crashed to the ground. Both of them were on the ground, groaning as Nixi walked into the room."This child is of that witch that chased us across the sea to this cursed island! You will place her under our protection, and the father will serve as a watchdog to make sure that she is safe. If we are ever to get off this island, th

    Noel turned away from Her spatial construct after transporting Calabro inside with her grandson. She was accompanied by Tiga, Nushi, and Nixi; the rest of the women were all busy getting ready to leave."I think this is a bit harsh for even me. There is no way that the two of them are ever going to get out of there! I don't take our grandson's side very often, but throwing the bull-headed creature in there with him!" Nixi growled as they all turned back to the apartment."If that creature is to come with us, then Mex is going to have to beat some sense into it," Noel said without batting an eye as she strode forward.The shorter Nixi walked beside her, but the other two girls fell back from them. Tiga seemed distressed, but Nushi knew precisely what the problem was.Though, that, in turn, was the real problem.Nushi could see into others' minds and even predict what they would do next. What she couldn't do was alter them, and there was something cr

    Nushi was standing on a beach, in a castle, standing in the forest, on a mountain top, in the middle of the ocean in a boat. Nothing made sense, and Nushi's mind felt like it was being pulled apart."What is going on?" Nushi asked out loud in fear, and it felt like her mind was trying to pull itself apart.The Demon's powers that she had received from Zack Foreman and her own multiplied due to her being outside of reality. In most girls' cases, there were no manuals for them, But Nushi had the advantage in this respect.Grabbing her head and trying to concentrate, Nushi closes her eyes. This allows her to bring her fractured minds together and lets her summon her journal.Each of the girls needed to learn everything independently, or that was the case before Nushi could use a series of tests with her predictive journal. The book allowed her to look into people's thoughts and see the results of their actions up to five minutes in the future.But not

    The moment that Nushi defeated Time, Calabria underwent a dramatic change.[View of Mex and Calabro, Moments Before Time's Defeat]"You have taken everything from me!" Calabro screamed as he was somehow expertly able to weave through the tower's traps to chase Mex."I have done nothing of the sort! You have done this all to yourself! Whatever is wrong with you was wrong long before you met me!" Mex yelled down as he dodged spikes that were shooting up from the platform he was running across.Time was forcing Calabro into an almost trance-like psychosis that was distorting reality as the Manticore saw it. This was causing him to see Mex as a monster while being assaulted by auditory hallucinations telling him that Mex was the cause for every problem in his life.Because Time's influence was so strong, Calabro could no longer tell right from wrong or enemy from friend. Mex had no clue of any of this, nor did any of the few that knew him.Every

    [View of the girls on the beach working on the Underwear Boat]"Do you really think all of this will work?" Jilly asked as she watched as Hydie created a transparent blue barrier around the long oval-shaped boat that she had created.Jilly, Hydie, and Lizy were all standing on the beach in front of the submarine that they were creating. Hydie was channeling the waters from the edge of the beach to surround the vessel that was shaped identical to that of a submarine.The girls had no idea that they were creating a Submarine, and modern-day submarines were definitely not built like this. The girls were also running into some problems, including sinking, breathing, propulsion, and eating, but everyone mostly had a hand in the project."Yes, but we still don't know how we are going to make it move. My barrier will replenish the air, but it will also keep the ship filled, keeping it above water. This would be fine, but the boat is meant to be navigated under t

    "Come on! This was your idea, right?" Keri asked Lizy, calling down from the top of the liquid stairs that Hydie had constructed."This was only partially my idea! I never planned on going near the water!" Lizy said, feeling her temperature rising with her frustration."I will make sure that you don't get wet or fall off," Hydie said as she walked over to stand at the bottom of the stairs with Lizy.Initially, Lizy wanted to say something rude, but after taking a deep breath, the spider woman decided against it. Getting angry wasn't going to help her, but she also didn't want to admit that she was scared out loud."Did you know I don't like heights? I absolutely hate admitting to such a thing, but it is true," Jilly said as she walked over to join Hydie and the spider woman.Lizy had been concentrating on the steps, trying to get her confidence up. The sound of Jilly's voice snapped out of the trance-like state."You are scared of being abov

    [Zack's View]"I think I can see that Bastard!" I growled as I strained to push forward.Now, my body had been conditioned, and I no longer needed to use the forward and back strategy. I just had to push as my body absorbed the pressure of whatever was creating such a massive gravitational pull.[You are doing great! Just keep going!] Libra said, cheering me on.Harold had been silent most of the trip, but I think that he was getting tired of fighting with Libra. It was surprising just how much the two seemed to detest each other, but it was a nice distraction.I had no idea how long I had been at this walk, but I was sure it was more than two days. I was starting to think that I was outside of my previous reality because I had been going nonstop.[You are right. The astral plane does not move with time; it is outside your ordinary reality. I don't know how it works; I just know that time doesn't flow here.] Libra explained, and I frowned bu

    “No, sex isn’t needed, I don't think, but I won’t turn you down if that’s what you want,” I chuckled, and Mati rolled her eyes.“I was just asking a question, pervert. Let’s get going before something big comes and-”“...Tells you that you are in their territory?” A deep and rumbling voice asked from behind, finishing Mati’s sentence.Both of us turned around to see the biggest sea turtle I had ever seen. Its skin was jade green, but its shell was covered with colorful coral that had a large number of different colorful fish swimming around it.The fish looked pretty tasty.“It’s a turtle!” I exclaimed with delight.“This is The Jade Reef of Death. He really doesn’t like me, but his fish are really tasty! Want to get a snack?” Mati asked, and I looked between her and the big friendly-looking turtle.Then it opened its mouth to reveal point jade teeth, and my eyes went big.“You think that I am going to let you?!” The jade turtle roared and dove at us, but I had already selected a new

    “Let me go back and let someone know where I am going, or they will all come looking for me,” I said, trying not to stare at Mati's breasts that seemed to have a mind of their own.“Sure, and they are pretty entertaining, aren’t they? I get lost sometimes watching them flop around when I swim!” Mati laughed as she grabbed her breasts and jiggled them around, and I nodded.“Can’t blame you for that. They are a nice pair, but you are pretty good-looking yourself,” I laughed as we swam to catch up to the front of the ship.“Sounds like you are hitting on me,” Mati said, giving me a sideways look that I returned.“Glad to see that your ears work,” I chuckled as I swam to the dome and then slapped myself on it like Mati did before.Mati joined me, and Mex was down there waving to us with Nushi, Jilly, and Lizy. I was surprised that Kieta wasn’t with them, but she might be nervous after all this time.“Where is my kitten? Did you leave her behind?” Mati asked from beside me.“Kieta? I expec

    Spun Out

    Once inside, I pressed the button, and the elevator started to take me up to the top floor, where Lidy was sleeping in my room. I looked around and sniffed, but all signs of our fun were gone; all evidence cleaned.I was curious if that happened on its own or if someone was cleaning up after me as I went? That would not be likely, but I never knew. A good number of people had nothing to do, but I wasn’t giving them orders.Hell, I didn’t even know where half the people that had joined us were. Numerous Demons had come with us, men and women, but I hadn’t placed them.There was a ding as I reached the top floor, and the door opened. I headed out and turned right to the ladder that went up to the hatch, but it was different now.I climbed up and had to spin the wheel that was on top of the hatch to get it opened. When I opened it, I half expected the water to rush out and then sink the ship.What was on the other side of the hatch was hard to look at without wondering what the fuck was

    Uncanny

    I remember Mex telling me about Mati, but seeing her now was a bit surreal pressed up on the glass. She was Kieta’s friend, so it might be nice to get her to come to join us, but getting to her was a problem.“That is quite the sight,” Fireden said thoughtfully, but I sucked all four back inside of me at once.“Hello? Can you hear me?” Mati called from the other side of the glass, but I could barely hear her.“Yes! Give me a minute, and I will come out there!” I shouted, and Mati gave me a webbed thumbs up.I turned, jogged out of the room, and headed straight for the front of the house to get to the control room. The moment I entered the small room, the door opened, but Keri wasn't in the booth.“I anticipated that you would be coming to see me. We really need to get an intercom set up. I was going to come to talk to you about her, but I assumed you would come to find me first,” Mex said as I walked up to the map area I had been in before.“So this is the Mati that you were talking a

    Responsibility

    I marched down the stairs till I got to the bottom, trying not to stomp my feet as I went. I turned and headed to the kitchen and another to the glass-domed area.I closed the door behind myself and went to sit down in front of the glass, crossing my legs. I had really let that woman get to me, but Machariel’s attitude was out of line.*Wataluga: Do you mind if we join you, or would you prefer to be alone right now?*“It’s fine,” I said out loud, and all four of my elementals emerged from the Totem Tattoos on my body.“Well, that bird is a hard one to swallow!” Grogvel laughed, making Wataluga vibrate, but the rumble felt normal now.“You can say that again,” I groaned, staring out into the blue.“You can’t fix them all, but I think each of the women has their own degree of trauma. This Machariel seems to have the same story as most Demon women. Taken advantage of by a stronger male. It can’t be easy for them to live knowing that and then be hunted after for something you didn’t choos

    Irritable Bitch

    After getting on new shorts and a t-shirt on, helped Lidy dry off the bed and change the sheets, I left her to nap. I gave her a kiss before leaving and a promise of more later.Once I was outside the room, I paused for a moment and closed my eyes. Lidy had changed, but there was no change in her status card other than her race.That was now a Five-Tailed Shadow Cat, but nothing was displaying what kind of abilities she had. I was curious what that meant, but I had told Harold that I would leave him alone for a few days.I searched out the different girls through my senses, but all of them were gathered in one place that I couldn’t put my finger on. That must mean they were in one of Mex’s areas and would all be with Beeno.I headed downstairs, but a door opened when I got to the first floor below me. The leader of the women's circle stepped out with a scowl on her face.Machariel had short blue hair that almost looked like she had a bowl cut and four-inch horns protruding from her fo

    Lidy pt 1

    I leaned down, looking into Lidy’s blue eyes, and little tiny pink hearts were pulsing where her pupils should be. Above her dripping hole, the black tribal-like tattoo that prevented her from having more than one child sat.I wasn’t sure if that also locked her as a Demon, but that was something to ponder another time. I leaned the rest of the way down and kissed Lidy softly as I pushed my cock into her wet hole.The feeling of her tight pussy, and passionate kisses greeted me like an old friend as Lidy moaned into my mouth. I pulled Lidy’s arms from her legs and pushed them down on the bed above her head, pinning them down.“Mmm, that big cock feels so good inside of me,” Lidy moaned as I started to kiss down her neck.“I missed filling your holes, and this is much better than the freezer room. Wrap your legs around me,” I instructed, and Lidy smiled and did as I said.Once her legs were tight around me, I let go of her hands and then wrapped my arms around her. I picked Lidy off th

    Damn, She's Fine!

    The blade of my blue sword bent and twisted around the chain, hissing as I was forced to duck. The chain hissed over me, and I switched to my Water Pact, activating the Force and Sphinx Totem.I spun and ripped the whip out of Lidy’s hand, but a Greatsword appeared from the wall beside her. The moment that she gripped it, electricity flowed over the blade in sparks.“Oh, come on, Kieta! Give me a greatsword too!” I roared, and a plain greatsword spat out of the wall.I picked it up as Lidy laughed at me, dropping my wave sword. I had planned to one-hand it, but the sword was remarkably heavy.I switched to Earth Pact and swung the sword quickly. I activated the Gog Totem, and flames ran up the blade, but now Lidy had a second greatsword.This one had water running around the blade like a chainsaw, and I growled as I looked at my sword and then my other arm.“Monsterize!” I roared, and my body turned blue, expanding like Lidy’s but bigger.Lidy dropped her swords, turned purple, and th

    Testing It Out

    “She seems excited,” Lidy giggled as we walked over to the door that Kieta had just walked through.“Leave her be. Keita will come to me in her own time, not like I don’t have enough else to do right now,” I said as I pushed the door open to find a small room filled with monitors and panels with more displays. “Wow, You really spiffed this place up!”“I worked for a privately contracted weapons research facility before you blew up the known universe. Once you got up top to deal with the sea witch, I got all my memories back of who I was then. Now I can create some pretty wild things thanks to this thing that you gave me,” Kieta said, pointing to her eyes that were a series of moving cogs like the inside of a watch.“I guess making computers and things like that aren’t really much of a problem for you then,” I laughed, and Kieta’s cogs rolled around in her head.“I could build a computer from scratch before I left grade school when I was fourteen. I didn’t need these eyes for that. The
