“Magic, Shaman, does not appear in a vacuum,” she explained. “The power of the Goddess does not come from nowhere. If you want magic, you have to work hard. If you want to help your Goddess, then you need to accomplish a feat. Show that you are ready to do the impossible for her...Without giving me a chance to say anything more, she opened a portal and disappeared. I looked at Alena in confusion."Don't worry," she patted my shoulder. - If it is necessary, then it is necessary!“Okay,” I nodded. “When you get out, refill the cartridges for me, okay?”"Aren't you going to leave the game at all?" she rolled her eyes.“No,” I shook my head. “You are right—something important is happening and my Goddess needs help.- Which one? she smiled.“The one with the pointy ears,” I replied to her smile. “Listen… Do you remember that girl I skated in Anhurs?”“I remember the girl,” she nodded. - I don't remember the name.- Rastilan. I asked your father to bring her next week…” I said.- Why? Alen
“It seems to me that we need to apply the union, and you and I will make a slot right in the ground,” I suggested. “I have a recipe for making a slot for a stone, and I just need to make the same one, but the fact is that the carrier of the slot is the whole of Barliona, and it simply won’t fit into my Constructor.- An association? - the Evil Gnum thought again and laughed: - Barliona, you say, in the Constructor? Okay, let's join. What should I do?“Just sit next to me,” I pointed to the ground next to me.Indeed, something I had not thought before that I would slot Barliona. That's why, of all the simple solutions, I always choose the most difficult one, and even one that, at the mere memory of which, uncontrollable hiccups will overcome me? I called the Spirit of the Water Truce, that is, Merging, that is ... Ugh! In general, we started the association.There were no penalties for me this time - my Shaman rank had already reached the caps. The Barliona imitator habitually warned m
After leaving the game, I immediately fell asleep - the instructions I received from all interested parties were completely unambiguous. How long I slept, I don't know. When I fell asleep, it was morning, and when I woke up, it was also morning. However, there were differences - I fell asleep alone, and when I woke up, girlish bodies pressed against me from both sides. I carefully lifted my head and looked around. Natalie and Eva Or Eva and Natalie - it depends on which side to count. Although I tried not to disturb them, they immediately, almost simultaneously, started up, crossing the attentive glances of two pairs of eyes on me.- Woke up? Natalie asked in a tone that didn't bode well.- Did you get enough sleep? Eva added sarcastically.- How long did I sleep? I asked, and felt my throat completely dry.“Almost a day,” Natalie softened.“Wait a minute, I’m here,” I said, jumping up and noticing in passing that they had as many clothes on as I did. "Just a minute, don't go anywhere
“And about how then for another two months she was engaged in a systematic siege of the fortress,” Natalie finished for her. “About the conversation with Anastaria, about Elune, and about the fact that your defense eventually fell.“Yes, it just broke for the sake of appearance,” Eve muttered, still not raising her eyes. - You yourself told me after leaving that Alena would definitely tie him up for our return. So, they flew...“Yes, it would have happened anyway,” Natalie chuckled. And the blind could see. It just happened faster and with less drama.“So,” Eve said, “the capsules arrived, they were quickly installed for us, and we entered the game. While I was looking around in Altameda, we reached the portal, and we were transferred to the place where you performed the task, ”she glanced expressively in the direction of Elune.“They marveled at you, wandering in a trance across the steppe, stood next to me,” Natalie added. - Evelina is hacking with low-level ones, I heal her and hel
"Not really," she shook her head. - For me, it would be better if a dog like you left her. And how happy dad would be - you have no idea! But she told me that she loves you madly, so much so that she is even ready to endure your harem, if only you would not part with her. And she won't survive if you chase her away.- Alyonushka! I called out in a honeyed voice.“I’m coming, I’m coming, my love,” she answered me in tone, walked up to me with a light gait and hugged me from the side, nestling under my arm.- Alina tells me such passions! I began by kissing the top of her head. “He says you are blackmailing me into the harem of concubines!”“So concubines,” she protested. - Wife, of course!“Well, let the wives,” I nodded.Alina pursed her lips and squinted at her sister.“And she told me that if I don’t accept you into this one, like him ...” I scratched the back of my head with my free hand, “she won’t be able to make any friendship with the rest of the girls.”- Alyonka! Alina said t
Nearby, spellbound reading a cascade of system messages, stood Kapustnitsa Sadovaya. The weed continued to crawl out of the ground, and Druid did not dare to even touch it - with such a difference in levels, the plant would have knocked her down in one prick, and the pruner could not even scratch the skin of the flexible vine. However, Jealous Ivy was in no hurry to pounce on the Tree - it rolled into the bay around him, like a cobra that is twisting before a throw. I reached out, stroked the trunk of the World Tree, and summoned the Water Spirit, who watered the ground around. Ivy, as promised in the description, did not even flinch, correctly mistaking me for a benefactor.“Damn me,” muttered the Silkworm in dismay, with whom Kapuska enthusiastically shared her new stats. - You have to be so rude.What else would you know, brother, what it means to really fuck up! Flute winked at me on hearing this word, and I gave her a carnivorous look. Maybe it's not me who screwed up. More preci
Tamara gave Vitaly Gennadievich two folders, and he opened the first one.“Here, look,” he said, showing her a paper copy of the x-ray. - Bullet wound in the back. The bullet completely destroyed the seventh and eighth vertebrae and destroyed a piece of the spinal cord. The prognosis is lifelong disability, paralysis of the lower extremities and internal organs, artificial life support. The patient was placed in a special capsule with a full life support cycle and a connection to virtual reality. Three months ago, an inexplicable progress took place, he left the capsule for a rehabilitation course, and a month later he left the Corporation hospital on his own feet as a completely healthy person. Patient number two is now a young woman. Burns of eighty percent of the body, a significant part of the damage could not be corrected by plastic surgery. The result is seclusion, life in the virtual. Two months ago there was a complete cure and restoration of all damaged areas. My professor, w
“Well, you’re a big boy already, you know what to say.- What to say? Alina was suddenly alarmed.- A folder from Dima will demand a bride price for you, - Alena explained and turned to me again: - Dear, remember, eighteen rams - and not a head more!- Yes, what eighteen? Alina was outraged.“Twenty is the maximum,” Alyona continued, paying no attention. - We don't have enough!- Alyonka! Alina whispered in a doomed voice.“So, that’s it,” Alena got angry and went up to her point-blank. - I'm counting five. One two Three…- I agree! Alina said.“We won’t clone anyone,” Alyona warned. Alina nodded."Is there no one going to ask me?" I protested.The sisters looked at each other, snorted and laughed loudly.* * *Ivanov seated me in his armchair, while he walked nervously along the window. From time to time he stopped, propped his chin on his fist, looked at me gloomily, sighed heavily and continued to move. Apparently, he was also going to propose to me. I began to quietly roll the cha
