Ch 212: Exploiting the resurrection skill to its full potential.

Heejin entered her condo and locked the door behind her.

"I'm home!"

No reply came, but that didn't surprise her. She quickly checked the living room and kitchen, then climbed the stairs to the rooms on the condo's upper floor. No one else was there, but the Sanctuary was on its shelf, confirming that Akeno, at least, was back from her dungeon.

Heejin smiled and entered.

She appeared in the living room, and heard some faint noises coming from above. Heejin followed the sounds and knocked on the door, and heard a garbled noise that sounded somewhat like 'enter'.

She opened the door, and smiled at the sight of Jeanne and Alter, both wearing long latex gloves, stockings, leather harness and collar, facing each other as they straddled two sybians. They were hugging each other with their wrists bounds by leather cuffs, their collars linked together by a very short chain forcing their faces to almost touch each other and were both sharing the same double-dildo gag.

from the copious amount of drool and other body fluids pooling under them, they had been at it for a while.

Jeanne made a small nod to her, while Alter couldn't turn her head to face her.

"Sorry to intrude." smiled Heejin, feeling horny. "Have fun."

She closed the door and went to the basement, where she expected to find Akeno.

She knocked on the basement's door.

"Enter." said Akeno from the other side.

Heejin opened the door, and here was Akeno, as expected. She was dressed in a black leather outfit today, with a bustier connected with leather straps to a collar and stockings covering her legs, gloves and high-heeled boots. She looked great as usual.

There were two more people in the basement. Lee Joohee, or at least, Heejin supposed it was her under the rubber hood covering her face and keeping her blind, was naked save from the hood and collar, bound spread-eagled to the whipping post. And from the many, many reddish marks on her body, it seemed that the furniture had for once served the purpose it was named for.

Another girl was kneeling in front of Joohee, turning her head toward Heejin as Joohee strained against her bonds, squirming and panting.

Meilin wore a black, sleeveless latex leotard with cutouts for her breasts and crotch, black latex stockings, and gloves that ended not with fingers, but forced her hands closed. Her arms were bound behind her back by a red rope that also formed a harness around her torso. Heejin could also see the base of a butt plug protruding from her ass.

Akeno struck Meilin's ass with a short whip, although Heejin could tell that there wasn't any force to it and it would barely leave a mark, but it had the desired effect and Meilin yelped.

"I didn't give you permission to stop, slave."

Meilin reluctantly returned to lapping at Joohee's crotch.

"…I am back, Mistress." said Heejin.

"Welcome back, Heejin. I already prepared your outfit for the night."

Akeno pointed at a pile of clothes, and Heejin nodded and started undressing.

"Mistress, Lee Bora and Gina both accepted. Jinah is out shopping with her mother and will be back before dinner.

"Yes, her mom told me about it. It is great that you and Jinah convinced them. Good job, Heejin." smiled Akeno.

"Thank you. Was Joohee a bad girl?"

"Not really. Oh, she's still reluctant, just like Meilin here, but I am training her as a masochist. Meilin will become a latex cat." grinned Akeno as she used her whip to strike Joohee's but again, and the bound girl groaned.

"Soon enough, pain and pleasure will become the same to her, and she will orgasm from being whipped." smiled Akeno.

"Yes, Mistress." said Heejin. She finished stripping and picked up the first garment Akeno wanted her to wear. A sleeveless black latex top that would stop midriff, with cutouts for her breasts. She quickly put it on, then took a pair of black latex stockings, then gloves.

As she worked on covering her limbs with the latex she had come to love, she could hear Akeno regularly delivering hits to Joohee, with her whip or bare hand, and the girl, overwhelmed by the stimulation, convulsed with a muffled scream and came on Meilin's face.

When it was over, Joohee hung limply from her bonds, exhausted and feeling deep, crushing humiliation.

"You can stop, pet." said Akeno, and Meilin leaned back, relieved, but also feeling humiliated from having Joohee's juices sticking all over her face, and from what she had just been made to do.

Heejin took the last item, a collar, and knelt in front of Akeno, using both hands to offer the collar to her Mistress, and she gathered her hair out of the way when Akeno fastened it around her throat.

Akeno gestured with her left hand, and Heejin stood.

"You have been a good girl, Heejin." smiled Akeno. "And you deserve a reward."

"Yes, Mistress." breathed Heejin, her arousal in full display.

She watched in anticipation as Akeno slowly reached for Heejin's chastity belt, her eyes never leaving Heejin's.

The belt was unlocked.

"Mmh, Mistress." moaned Heejin as Akeno slowly pulled the belt and its two dildoes out of her body. She really wanted to touch herself, but didn't move, as she knew Akeno would bring her a lot more pleasure.

"Are you satisfied with being my slave, Heejin?" asked Akeno, smiling.

"Yes, my Mistress." smiled Heejin. "I love wearing those clothes for you, I love being bound for you, and I love to please you."

Akeno nodded, very satisfied by her answer. She inserted to latex-coated fingers into Heejin's pussy, pumping slowly.

"I am also very happy to have such a beautiful, obedient and eager slave girl."

"Mistress." melted Heejin, her walls closing around Akeno's fingers. To her disappointment, Akeno removed them and lifted her hand to her face, fingers extended. Heejin obediently opened her mouth and sucked on the fingers, tasting her own juices.

"Follow me to the bed. Meilin, while I reward Heejin, you will kneel by the bed and recite the mantra I taught you, until I tell you to stop."

Meilin nodded reluctantly, and crawled on her knees to go closer to the bed while Akeno pushed Heejin down and started running her hands all over her body.

Meilin hesitated, but when Akeno stared at her, she flinched and opened her mouth.

"I am a pet cat, and the personyal property of my Mistress, nya.

I will obey and submit completely to my Mistress in all ways, nya.

My naughty body, heart and soul belong to my Mistress, nya.

I will please my Mistress to the best of my ability, as I exist only to please her, nya.

I have no rights, only privileges that my Mistress may grant me, nya.

I will welcome Mistress's discipline and will thank Her for training me, nya."

Over and over, Meilin repeated the degrading words Akeno had taught her, as she watched Akeno and Heejin make passionate love, her emotions in conflict. She felt both humiliated and unwilling, but also deeply aroused, and a little envious of the treatment Heejin received.

Would Akeno also treat her like this, if Meilin became a good pet? She chased away the thought the instant it formed, not wanting to surrender herself just like that.

She had been horny since Akeno started training her, and she didn't understand why her body reacted like this. Was she always a submissive girl, deep inside?

Her words trailed off as Akeno and Heejin both suddenly stopped moving, their eyes vacant.

"Ak-Mistress?" cautiously asked Meilin, but they didn't answer.

After maybe fifteen seconds, Akeno and Heejin blinked and smiled at each other. Then they noticed Meilin looked worriedly at them.

"It's fine. Noah just got a new ability, and we also have it now. We can create golems!"

"Golems… nya?" hesitated Meilin, visualizing some of the dungeon monsters they had encountered. Golems moved slowly and were mostly useless in a fight, unless they had a huge size advantage.

"You stopped reciting your mantra, pet, but I'll forgive it, since I'm in a good mood." said Akeno. "Come here."

Meilin reluctantly climbed on the bed, and had Heejin lay on her back.

"Pet, you will lick Heejin's pussy while I sit on her face. If you make her cum before she makes me cum, I will reward you. If not, you will spend the night in strict bondage and denial play."

Meilin flinched and crawled to place herself between Heejin's legs and wasted no time inserting her tongue deep into Heejin's folds. She had already spent two nights in denial, and she really didn't want a third time.

…Even if a part of her was excited by the prospect.

…

Noah smiled to himself as he thought for a moment about Bambietta Basterbine. He had been looking forward to having fun with her since he got his hands on her, but something always seemed to come up, and today was no exception.

After a brainstorming session this morning with Aria, Grayfia and Ren, they concluded that the best way to tackle the second of Aria's worlds was a double approach, first bolstering Celestial Being's combat potential with a few more pilots and mechas, then assassinating the enemy leaders.

They would forcibly end the war, install some decent people as rulers of the world that had been unified under the A-laws's dictature, and Celestial Being would become the world's security agency, backed by Noah and his faction.

"Do you have an idea about who's going to join Celestial Being?" asked Aria, walking beside him.

They entered one of the Palace's empty rooms.

"I'm pretty sure Seekvaira Agares would love to join." smiled Noah. "She's a mecha Otaku, and as a King, she's no stranger to killing stray devils and such. I don't think she'll have any moral qualms about killing the soldiers of a fascist regime. I will join as well. As for more, let's first see how many mechas our geniuses are going to manage to create. There's no point asking for many volunteers if we only get a handful of machines."

"Yeah. Have you already decided which genius in question? I have three suggestions."

"Oh?"

"Aeolia Shenberg." smiled Aria. "He's the founder of Celestial Being, after all. If anyone knows about Gundam tech, it's him."

"Yeah, but he's a man." frowned Noah as they reached the closest warehouse. "And we're not trying to create more Gundams, we want something that is going to surpass them, if we can manage… Still, it would be a good idea to revive him, since he knows a lot about the remaining Coordinators, the Dialog, and all that… Probably won't be too expensive, too. Who else?"

"Tabane Shinonono."

"…Doesn't ring a bell."

"Infinite Stratos? That harem academy anime with one male protagonist and cute girls able to summon exo-armors called Infinite Stratos allowing them to fly? Tabane is the creator of those IS. They use a mix of firearms, shields, energy weapons and metal blades to fight."

"Still doesn't ring a bell." shrugged Noah. "What is she like?"

"She's cute, like you would expect of any anime character, with red or purple eyes and dark purple hair. She also typically wears a mixed bunny girl and maid outfit with mechanical rabbit ears, and she's very eccentric and somewhat childish. I remember her exiting some kind of high-tech capsule shaped like a carrot."

"She should be a fun one. Definitely on the list." said Noah, and they shared a grin. "Who else?"

"Lala, from To-love-Ru?"

"I vaguely remember her, but no. She's a gadget inventor, and I don't see her participating in creating serious war machines. And don't her gadgets fail from times to times?"

"…Yeah, I understand. She's not a good fit."

"Maybe one day, for fun only, if you're interested in her." smiled Noah.

"Not really, and I don't think I'll be lacking for companionship by then, with your massive harem." grinned Aria.

"I don't think you will. Who else?"

"That's it from me. I didn't watch or read all that many Anime or Mangas, and female inventors are pretty niche." shrugged Aria.

"Yeah. I have a few of my own. Rakshata and Cecile from Code Geass."

"…Ah! I remember this one, now that you mention it. Yeah, they would be great choices." grinned Aria.

"Ernesta and Camilla, from Asterisk Wars."

"I don't know them. Are they cute?"

"Yes. Ernesta is the living incarnation of peppy, curious and bold, but also cunning and manipulative. I'll have to keep her on a short leash, but she's worth it. Her partner Camilla is cool and collected. Both of them created two artificial intelligences in their fiction, and built human-sized humanoid bodies to host them."

"Sounds like they're almost exactly what we need to create escort drones, then." nodded Aria.

"Yes. Especially with the Golem Creation skill. And if we're going the Golem route, there's Miledi Reisen from Arifureta."

Noah had invested 50k Yin point and 1k Yang points into the skill, following Susanoo's suggestion, and didn't regret it for an instant. It offered plenty of possibilities, from magic-powered combat drones, to giving some measure of intelligence to everyday items. A golem grill, as an example, would cook food to perfection without needing supervision, if Noah wanted to try something not part of his existing repertoire.

"Miledi Reisen?"

"A magician girl who led a revolt against a false god. They lost and she was forced to hide at the bottom of a great labyrinth dungeon. Her specialty is gravity magic, but she also asked for one of her comrades to turn her into a golem, so that she would wait for however long it took for some heroes to overcome her labyrinth, then teach them the truth about the false god. And at the end of the fiction, she seals both herself and the villain for eternity… In fact, I'm pretty sure I'll revive her just for the sake of it at some point. She's the kind of girl who deserves a good ending."

"Yeah, that's a pretty bleak fate. Is she cute?"

Noah used light magic to create a picture of a grinning young lady with blue eyes and long golden hair, in a ponytail and drills style.

"She's a prankster, too, but a good-natured one. Her peppy personality reminds me of Chisato, actually."

"Yep, that's decided, please put her on the list! I look forward to meeting her." instantly approved Aria.

"And I think we have more than enough already. Too many hands stirring the pot will slow things down." said Noah.

"Yes. Who will you revive first?"

"Let's go with Cecile. She should cost a few thousand Yin points at most."

Noah started by creating a bed, then activated his resurrection skill and selected Cecile, mentally visualizing her. An attractive young woman with steel gray eyes, neck-length dark blue hair, and wearing a military uniform.

But he only got a message from the System.

[Cecile Croomy cannot be revived.]

[…Let me guess, she is currently alive somewhere.]

[This is correct.]

[Same for Rakshata?]

[Correct.]

Noah looked back at Aria.

"I can't revive Cecile or Rakshata, as they already live on a world created by Lilith or another deity. I guess Akeno, Chisato or one of the others may find themselves on that world at some point."

"Oh. That's… both good and bad, I guess. You're going to add Kallen to the family, right? I know you have a thing for redheads." smirked Aria.

"You know me so well already." smiled Noah. "But the timing is inconvenient. Let's try Tabane next."

Noah used his ability again, paid 12 000 Yin points, and this time, his mana coalesced into the shape of a young woman corresponding to Aria's description.  She was dressed in a modest, light blue maid outfit and had a headband with articulated metallic ears over her head.

"Hum, she's certainly as pretty as you said." smiled Noah.

"Right? What are you going to say to her? From her point of view, we have just kidnapped her from her world." said Aria.

"Yes. I'd prefer to use some half-truth, but that's just not going to fly for long, and I don't want to give me girls an existential crisis. So, there's no choice but to train her right away. Unless you have a better idea?"

[User doesn't need to reveal that detail. The resurrected individual has fake memories of her death. In Tabane Shinonono's case, an experiment leading to unscheduled rapid disassembly.]

"Oh. That's…convenient." said Aria, who received the same system message.

"…It certainly is. But we can't afford to waste time. I want us to solve that world's issues before Akeno, Chisato and the others finish with their quest, so I'll start her training now."

Noah took leather cuffs from his inventory. He fastened them on Tabane's wrists, pinning her arms behind her back, then stuffed her mouth with a red ball gag.

"Do you wish to assist me, Aria?"

"…Sorry, but I'll pass. I know it's cowardly, especially when I am the one who volunteered her name, but…" fidgeted Aria.

"I understand. Not everyone has the temperament for it." smiled Noah, taking the still unconscious Tabane into his arms.

"I'll be somewhere in the second basement, should you need me."

"Yes. I'll chat for a while with some of my new sisters, then return to the Gundam world. I can't be gone for too long. And remember to first give me a call if you decide to teleport to me, okay? It would be bad if you suddenly appear in my cockpit in the middle of a fight."

"Sure. I'll keep that in mind." smiled Noah, teleporting to the basement.

…

Noah didn't waste time removing Tabane's clothes, wary of the possibility that she might have nasty surprises hidden in her outfit. He touched her maid dress and directly teleported it into his inventory, and did the same with her bunny ears headband, the white metallic cuffs on her wrists that looked like those worn by classic bunny girl outfits, her white underwear, and her boots.

She was starting to stir, and Noah used Greater Healing to scan her body, searching for implants. She didn't have any.

Noah didn't think she had any paranormal ability, but still drew a Stop rune, just in case. He hadn't gone this far by taking unnecessary risks. With this done, he was now confident that Tabane was completely helpless.

Tabane opened her eyes suddenly, and she stared at him. She immediately noticed she was gagged, and her eyes bulged as she started to struggle.

"Mmph!" yelled Tabane into her gag.

"Hi. I know you must be very confused right now, and I promise I'll answer your questions in due time. But for now, all you need to know is that I am your Master, and that you belong to me." said Noah, delivering such cruel words in a gentle voice.

Noah took one of his special collars, fastened it on Tabane's neck, and blindfolded her.

As Noah changed her bondage to have her spread-eagled on the bed, he thought about his plan. He had deliberately not told her his name because he wanted for her to be unable to think of his identity as anything other than "Master", for now. The gag and blindfold would reinforce her helplessness in her mind. The less hope she had, the faster she would accept her role as his slave.

…

Tabane panicked as he blindfolded her, not understanding what was happening. One instant, she pressed the button to test her new reactor, then the gauges displayed ludicrous values, and there was a white flash. The next, she was in what obviously was a sex dungeon, bound, gagged and naked, with a man claiming she was his possession.

She struggled. She really struggled. But he was too strong and fast, and the blindfold robbed her of any chance to deliver accurate blows. Before long, she was bound to the bed, her arms and legs stretched wide.

He started touching running his hands on her body, and she stiffened, both in shock and because she noticed something abnormal with his touch. His hands felt like were charged with small amounts of static electricity, and her body responded. She shuddered in mixed horror and pleasure as she grew horny despite herself.

"I am going to chain you down, Tabane." said her so-called 'Master'. "I will bind you to me with unbreakable chains of pleasure. You will be my enslaved genius bunny girl, and you will be happy to be mine. You will resist, of course. But no one can withstand pleasure indefinitely."

Tabane heard the absolute confidence in his voice, and the seed of doubt in her ability to endure and escape was sown into her heart.
