Ch 304: Torri’s deal.

"See? It's not so bad, being my pet." smiled Noah, sitting with Amber on his lap. She wore black latex gloves and stockings, as well as a black leather collar, a leather harness around her chest meant to promote the growth of her breasts, a red ball gag, and her arms were bound in a box-tie position by a red rope.

Amber nodded, half delirious from the intense pleasure as she weakly moved up and down his shaft.

Over a week had passed since she had reluctantly joined the small orgy with Erin, Lumine, Saiguu and Rias, and she was well on her way to completely surrender to him. After she realized that she had no chance of escaping or being rescued, she had mostly given up on resisting. It would only be a matter of a few days of being submerged in pleasure and treated tenderly before her resignation became an eagerness to embrace her new life.

After letting go of her pride and tasting a pleasure no one outside of Noah's faction could give her, she was starting to realize that they were only benefits to being his slave.

Amber was getting close, and he decided to give her a hand, moving his waist up and down. With a gasp and a shudder, Amber orgasmed again, and he hugged her against his chest.

As she slowly recovered, still impaled on his cock, Noah felt someone enter the Sanctuary. It was Erin. She deliberately took her time, aware that he knew about her presence, but since she was alone, Noah didn't want to change into something more decent. He was quite comfortable like this.

Amber flinched when she heard the stone door open, but Noah kept her against his torso, and she stopped trying to get out of this highly compromising situation.

"Hi, Erin." smiled Noah. Amber looked away from their visitor, blushing intensely.

"Hi, Noah, Amber. Sorry to bother you while you were having fun." smirked Erin. "But Akeno was trying to reach you."

"Oh." frowned Noah. The time dilation of the Sanctuary was extremely useful, but it had its drawbacks, and he hoped Akeno's apparent emergency wasn't a matter of life or death.

"Did she tell you what this is about?"

"Yes. One of her friends, Aya, has questions. She wishes to speak to you, as well as Chiyo, Asuna's pet girl."

"Chiyo? …I can only think of one reason she might want to talk to Chiyo." frowned Noah. He gently lifted Amber off his cock, then untied her and removed her gag.

"Me too. It looks like Akeno might be getting herself a pet as well." chuckled Erin.

Noah nodded, leading Amber toward the shower cubicle in the room's corner.

"What about you, Erin? Would you like to have a pet?" asked Noah.

"The animal kind, once things are more stable and we can spend more time on the island. I'm a bit envious of Ren because she has Fenris. His fur is so soft!" grinned Erin. "But I'm not interested in having a human as a sex pet. I'm very satisfied with being yours, Master."

"So am I, Erin. So am I." warmly smiled Noah.

Noah removed the rest of Amber's clothes and entered the cubicle with her.

"Erin, would you mind taking care of Amber while I am making that phone call? It may last a while."

"Sure. It is fine if we just cuddle, right? Amber seems quite tired."

"Yes. She's had enough for today."

…

As soon as Noah left, Erin removed her clothes, then led Amber to the bed, holding her hand. The petite brown-haired girl wasn't tied up for once, but she didn't resist, and in seconds, Erin was under the cover, hugging her.

"Are you okay, Amber?" asked Erin.

"…I'm not sure." sighed Amber after a moment. "I… don't really feel angry anymore. What's going to happen to me? You're his slave already. What is it like for you?"

"Are you perhaps worried that he will keep you locked up in a dungeon?"

"…A little." nodded Amber.

"He won't. You may have that impression since your training is very intense, but once you swear loyalty to him and mean it, you will recover your freedom. Well, most of it. You won't be allowed to have a boyfriend, since you already have Master, and when he calls for you, you will have to come to him."

"...What else?"

"That's about it. He will have the occasional task for you to do, but the worst he will ask is to assist in the acquisition or training of another girl. He won't make you do something that would harm the civilians of Mondstadt, or of any other region."

"Helping kidnap someone sounds pretty harmful to me." frowned Amber.

"Is it, really? Yes, you have suffered quite a bit until now. But look at what you're gaining in return. Immortality, increased combat power, the ability to fly and teleport, and much more. Most people would say the pros outweighs the cons."

Amber thought about it for a few seconds, then sighted, understanding that she wouldn't win this argument. She wasn't even sure Erin was wrong about it.

"Noah will get his hands on Eula soon. Who else does he intend to enslave?"

"In Mondstadt, and aside from Eula, Noelle for sure. There may be others, like Jean of Rosaria, but our Master hasn't made a firm decision about them yet. In Liyue, Ganyu and Keqing. Again, there may be others at some point."

"And you're fine with it?"

"Yes. As I told you before, I love Master, and I will help him get whoever he wants." smiled Erin. "But that's not the only reason. I am very happy to be his slave, and I want to share this happiness with my friends. I also want them to become immortal."

"…Immortality. Isn't that something you could give on your own? You told me that as far as power is concerned, you are more or less his equal."

"We may both be Champions, but our powers went in different directions, both because of the different Goddesses we serve, and because of our personal choices. Master heavily focused on dealing with injuries and curses at first, while I started by increasing my ability to fight and survive."

"I could unlock the possibility to make some people immortal in return for cashing in a lot of the favor I accrued, but that's very expensive, and I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I probably will within the next few years, for Aether, Childe, Zhongli and all our other mutual friends, and for the girls Noah chooses, I won't need to."

"…I see." muttered Amber.

She didn't say anything for a while, thinking, and Erin seemed satisfied with just hugging her. After a while, Amber started dozing off. She was tired, both physically and mentally.

And then, Noah returned.

"Erin, I'm calling off Eula's taking for now. I already warned Lumine and Rias. Thankfully, Lumine hasn't talked to her yet. We'll do it sometime later."

"Something happened?" asked Erin as Amber stirred.

"The call between Aya and Chiyo went well, but near its end, someone else tried to join me. Torri."

"Torri?" blinked Erin, thinking about Eir's Champion. "Do you often speak to her?"

"Less often than you and Aria." shrugged Noah. "I called her four times so far. Once to introduce myself, once to wish her a happy birthday, another for the new year, and the last time was just to check up."

"But from your reaction, there was a specific purpose for her call this time." said Erin, getting out of the cover.

"Yes. Get dressed, please. We're going to meet her for tea." smiled Noah. "Amber, we'll leave you alone for a while. Take the opportunity to rest. If I'm not back within a few hours, I'll send someone to bring you food and some entertainment."

"What kind of entertainment?" asked Amber, her wariness obvious.

"Nothing bad." chuckled Noah. "Books, or maybe some games."

Amber nodded.

…

Noah left his Domain-themed Sanctuary with Erin.

"So we’re suspending everything around Mondstadt and Liyue until further notice?" asked Erin.

Noah nodded as he recovered the Domain-styled Sanctuary. From the outside it only looked like a gray stone, unremarkable from others on the ground, but he didn’t intend to leave Amber’s safety to chance.

“Once Amber accepts her new place, she can continue her life here as if nothing had happened. I doubt anyone will notice anything. Let’s go home for now.”

He extended his left hand to Erin, and she took it with a smile.

Less than a minute later, they were preparing tea and snacks in the gazebo, in the garden near Noah’s main palace, and Aria appeared, dressed in a black leather crop top and skirt, boots, and a collar.

"Hi guys." waved Aria, unceremoniously taking a seat.

"Hey, Aria." smiled Erin.

"Hi Aria. How is your training going? Are Ayane and Kasumi taking good care of you?" smiled Noah.

"You know it already." pouted Aria, feeling slightly embarrassed. "They regularly report to you."

"They do, but I also want to hear from your perspective." grinned Noah.

"Fine. I'm starting to really like being dominated, and all the fetish outfits they make me wear make me look so hot." shrugged Aria.

"What's your favorite bondage furniture?" asked Erin.

"The vacbed. It feels comforting to be wrapped up, snug as a bug, and when the girls blindfold me before they have their way with my body, I feel it more intensely."

"Yeah, it has that effect on me too." grinned Erin. "In fact, I…"

She paused as someone teleported near them, but it wasn't who they expected.

"Good evening, everyone." smiled Lilith, dressed in a gorgeous white dress with gold trims.

"Lilith-sama?" asked Noah, standing. "Your presence is a surprise, although a very welcome one. Would you like some tea?"

"Gladly." nodded Lilith, sitting on a chair that Noah pulled for her.

"It is a pleasure to see you, Lilith-sama." said Aria with a short but respectful bow, quickly imitated by Erin. "Do you wish to speak with your Champion in private?"

"No, I am fine with you girls listening. The reason I decided to visit you is loosely related to Torri's request. Or maybe I should say that she will offer you a solution to an issue I have already started spending some time and resources solving for you. But I will tell you about it after you are done discussing it with her."

"Oh…" winced Noah. "It sounds like I messed up somewhere, if my goddess had to clean up after me."

"It's not your fault, or you would have heard about it already, you can be sure of that." smiled Lilith. "This is more of a… design issue when I created those worlds. But call Torri already, she's pacing around right now."

"Yes, Lilith-sama." nodded Noah, taking his smartphone.

Moments later, Noah accepted Torri's request to visit, and she appeared near them.

Like the other female Champions, she was drop dead gorgeous, with an attractiveness and magnetism that transcended her physical appearance alone.

Torri had amber-brown eyes and shoulder-length, chestnut-brown hair. She was dressed in form-fitting blue jeans and a white sleeveless turtleneck. As she saw them, her smile froze, and she stared with wide eyes at the goddess.

"L-Lilith-sama?"

"Yes. Hello, Torri. You do not need to mind my presence. I approve of your idea." smiled Lilith, taking a sip of her tea.

"It's nice to see you in person, Torri." smiled Noah, offering his hand.

"…Likewise." nodded Torri, regaining her stride. "Thank you for taking the time to meet with me."

"I believe you already saw Erin and Aria." nodded Noah as he pulled another chair for her.

"Thank you. Yes, I invited them to my worlds a few times already, for shopping trips and stuff." smiled Torri as she sat down. "How are you doing, Erin, Aria?"

"I'm fine. Having a lot of great sex these days." grinned Aria.

"Doing great." nodded Erin. "Noah's girls have been a lot of help with dealing with the Abyss Order and the Fatui. And it looks like we'll gain Inazuma with almost no bloodshed, if any. Noah is simply going to revive a few key people to get into the Archon's good graces."

"And to get into the Archon's pants as well!" grinned Aria, making them chuckle.

"I'll have you know, Aria, that the Electro Archon doesn't wear pants." said Noah with a virtuous tone as he served Torri a cup of tea. "…But you aren't wrong about me wanting to get inside her kimono."

"And since you mentioned the matter of reviving people, I may as well ask now. Noah, would you be willing to revive someone? Maybe even a dozen people? I have a close friend named Ryuu, from the Danmachi world. She's lost her companions before, and…"

"I know about her story." nodded Noah with sympathy. "And Elise is rather my type as well. She's on my 'Revive one distant day' list."

"Oh… I see. And could I convince you to revive her sometime soon? And the others too?" asked Torri with hopeful eyes. "Ryuu has been depressed about them to this day, and those girls died an unjust death."

"I already have a waiting list, though. I need to save up a lot for Albion and Ddraig. It may take me a few years..."

"Not necessarily." smiled Lilith. "You may or may not have a new mission in the near future, and giving those two new bodies would be a good idea for a reward. I may even give them the possibility to shift back and forth between fully human, dragonkin, and dragon form."

"I really serve a great Goddess." gratefully said Noah. "What kind of mission do you have in mind, Lilith-sama?"

"I will tell you more about it after Torri is done with second request." replied Lilith.

"…well." said Torri, blushing a little as everyone's eye focused back on her. "There's a few cute guys in my two worlds, and I have a harem of my own. And despite Aria's not so subtle attempts to have me follow in Erin's footsteps, I'm not interested in joining your harem, Noah."

Noah glanced at Aria who stuck her tongue at him with a wink.

"But I also have my eyes on a few more fictional characters from your worlds. So I'd like to propose you a deal, Noah." continued Torri. "I'd like permanent access to your worlds, and I'd give you access to mine in return. I won't mess around with the way you manage things, only hunt for a few cute guys."

"…I see." nodded Noah, considering the possibilities.  For once, the first thing in his mind wasn't the girls of the Danmachi and Arifureta fictions, but the great dungeons, full of monsters that would make most Hollows pass for training dummies. Because he was that sick and tired of farming weak hollows in Hueco Mundo.

"I rather like the idea… But is Kirito one of those you fancy?"

"Yes." nodded Torri. "He's a bit of a Gary Stu, but he's cute enough to make up for it."

"Well, there's a potential issue with him. You see, I needed some manpower back then to supply me with materials, and I instructed my girls to give him a taste for femdom."

"…So he's already taken?" asked Torri, slightly disappointed.

"I didn't say that. My girls took turns giving him regular femdom sessions, but they at most see him as a friend. As long as you do not mind Kirito being a masochist with plenty or experience with long-term chastity, feel free to bring him into your harem. He's still a virgin, by the way."

"I see." said Torri with a raised eyebrow and a growing smile. "It does seem that his life has been quite frustrating as of late. I should help him with that."

"Sure. And what about Colonel Kikuoka? He's a good guy, and we drink beers together once a month. I wouldn't mind him becoming immortal." smiled Noah.

"On my list as well." grinned Torri. "I'd take him over Kirito, if I had to choose. I'm glad I don't."

"No, you don't." nodded Noah. "I'll revive Elise sometime soon. The other members of Astraea's familia… probably years later, since I'll by busy with that world cluster full of cultivators. And I just granted you permanent access."

"Thank you. You have access to my worlds as well. And please take Kaori off my back. She's a friend, but she's also a pain in the butt! She just won't give up!"

"I think this could be arranged." chuckled Noah.

"Aren't you glad, Noah?" smirked Lilith. "Even more girls to conquer, and you get to fight stronger opponents."

"I am really looking forward to setting foot on those worlds, Lilith-sama." nodded Noah, smiling.

"And now is my turn." nodded Lilith, setting her teacup back on the table. "Noah, do you even realize just how broken you are? I have hundreds of Champions, some of them well over a million years old, and yet, you are already the one with the largest harem, and not just by a little. Most are satisfied with a hundred girls or less. And you show no signs of slowing down!"

"Quite a few gods are amazed, actually. It has become sort of a game among a few of us, to throw girl after girl at you and see how many it will take before you finally say you have enough. Sort of like those Jenga tower games common in many modern worlds. I won a lot of divine energy thanks to you."

"…Well, I got the Sisters, and those thousands of followers of the four local goddesses." replied Noah, a little embarrassed. "They were sort of handed to me by circumstances, or by a certain Goddess. Not that I am complaining."

"But the awareness that you have them hasn't decreased your appetite for more in the slightest." smiled Lilith.

"…Guilty as charged, Lilith-sama. I am aware that there's something very wrong with me." admitted Noah.

"There is indeed something wrong with you, but I do not intend to fix you, my Champion, since it is working for the best. The sheer number of subordinates at your disposal allowed you to do better, faster than I anticipated in the worlds under your jurisdiction."

"But the time you take training your slaves, while delightful to watch, also means that you are falling behind in your own growth. You still haven't earned your class, and you haven't purchased many upgrades from your store."

Noah nodded, as Lilith's words were completely true. He had largely ignored his Yin-Yang store since Akeno had left for her grand adventure.

"And that just won't do! Of the seven Champions co-managing the Fate world, you and Aria are actually the two weakest. As my Representative, you need to be above average when compared to your peers, at the very least. But this is partially my fault, since I didn't give you a renewable supply of strong opponents. So, I was already working on a way to correct this when I learned about Torri's idea."

"My Champion, I have used some of my recently earned divine power to start creating a new world for you to conquer. And it would be such a waste not to complete it, even if Torri just gave you access to those Great Dungeons in her worlds."

"I understand, Lilith-sama." smiled Noah. "So, what am I going to face over there?"

"I am making this one while inspiring myself from six different fictions. You only know two of them. Unlike what happened in your second world, however, I am spreading the timelines of those fictions in such a way that you won't feel like you need to be at three places at once, and less girls will throw themselves at you. Some still will, of course. Such is the allure of power and authority."

"Poor me, about to be buried in girls again." quipped Noah, and Lilith smiled.

"I will give you a few quests, mostly to make sure you are in the right place and time for some things that needs to happen, but you will be on your own. This world isn't really part of the Great Game, as I neither asked for your agreement, nor will I punish you if you manage to get yourself killed, but many of my peers will still watch for entertainment. Expect a lot of teasing from me if I do have to revive you, my Champion."

"I'll be careful. What kind of world will it be, Lilith-sama?" asked Noah, not expecting Lilith to tell him.

"A slightly futuristic one. You will have to deal with two major threats. The first will be linked to a VR game. The second will appear shortly after the first one is solved, but both the game and the second threat will offer powerful, respawning opponents far above the average Hollow."

"Since this world is an extra one and not really part of the Great Game, you will be allowed to leave it and return here whenever you want."

"I do not recommend doing it too often, however, as you will be busy. You will be allowed to take the native people of this new world with you, but those from other worlds will not be able to join you over there until you fully conquer the second threat, and those bound to the Throne of Domination won't be available to be summoned."

"In addition, I will give you a quest about training at least one local girl following the rules of a game or two I found interesting." smiled Lilith. "Rules slightly modified to account for your preferences, since I know you aren't into things like making your slaves lick your shoes or wear diapers. You have become a very competent slave trainer, but your methods are a bit lacking in variety. This game will introduce some randomness and make it more interesting to watch. That game won't just push the girl's limits, but yours as well, to a smaller extent. Expect some public exposure, at the very least."

"Wow. Those games sound pretty intense." breathed Torri.

"They are. I am almost done with this world's creation. My Champion, I think you just barely have time to finish dealing with Amber and those little Goddesses in your basement before it is ready. You should focus on them. And you likely will be done fulfilling all the missions I will give you over there before Akeno's return."

"I understand, Lilith-sama." nodded Noah. "I am very grateful that you went to such lengths to help me grow stronger."

"Just see it as me correcting an oversight and giving us gods more opportunities for entertainment. Creating worlds is, after all, the reason we were allowed to ascend in the first place." said Lilith, standing. Noah, Erin and Aria also stood respectfully.

"Thank you for the tea, Noah, Aria, Erin, Torri. I need to return to work. Creating several billion humans, not counting all the fauna and flora, is quite time-consuming, and while we largely automated the process, it still needs supervision."

Lilith disappeared, and Noah sat down with a satisfied sigh before looking at Torri.

"Torri, can you tell me a little about the situation in your worlds?"

"Sure." smiled Torri, sitting as well. "On the Danmachi side, things are pretty straightforward. I'm a member of the Hestia familia, and I contributed majorly to solving several crises, like the Xenos, Ares's war, or the Ishtar familia. I'm a famous and respected heroine over there, stronger than Ais or Ottar, but I'm no authority figure at this point, and the local Gods still rule Orario. I'm working on gradually increasing my influence by networking and proposing services no one else can. Like giving the local goddesses the ability to get pregnant."

"Yep, this alone is making Torri super-duper popular among those goddesses." grinned Aria, and Noah nodded.

"I'm friends with a lot of the fiction's girls, but I'm only into guys, Noah, so you can seduce anyone you fancy. I trust that you will treat them well, at least in the long term."

"Actually, since it looks like I won't have much time available, between that new world Lilith is preparing, and the giant Xianxia world cluster that will come soon after, I'm thinking about delegating some of it to my girls, if you do not mind."

"I don't. Who are the ones who caught your interest?" asked Torri, grinning and expecting Noah to list half of the fiction's female cast.

"I suspect it would be faster to name those who didn't." smirked Aria.

"Not many, actually." shrugged Noah, having guessed her thoughts. "The two catgirls of that famous restaurant whose name I forgot, Anya and Anakitty. Airmid, that girl with long silver hair. Daphne, the captain of Appolo's familia. And well, Elise. That's about it."

"Interesting choices." smiled Torri. "But surprising, considering what Lilith-sama said about your endless lust. I expected at least two dozen."

"She isn't wrong, of course, but most of the Danmachi girls have one thing or another that I do not find appealing." shrugged Noah. "The amazons have a great love for gold jewelry, but I find it gaudy and borderline vulgar. Ais feels a bit bland to me. Lili looks too much like a kid, and she's too underhanded for my taste. I could go on, but you take my point… I think I would find them more attractive if I spent some time in their company, to learn to know them better, but until then, they are 'meh' to me."

"Poor girls, to have failed to catch Master's interest." smiled Erin.

"That's a pretty low bar to manage to get under." replied Aria, and the girls chuckled. He decided to ignore the jab.

"I'm more interested in how things are in the Arifureta fiction." smiled Noah.

"Oh? Which girls?" grinned Torri.

"Yes." grinned Noah.

"Ah! Lilith-sama was right indeed. Well, long-story short, I took over the protagonist's role and mostly followed the original scenario. Yue lives with me as my little sister, and she's single. I'm the one who freed her, and I let her drink some of my blood from time to time. Hajime's one of my boyfriends, but Kaori still hasn't admitted defeat yet. Shea and Tio are more of my friends, and they're single too. Liliana was betrothed to this evil prince, but I offed that scumbag. Also, single."

"What about Eri?" asked Noah with a soft voice, and Torri winced.

"…I killed her, before she could turn those hundreds of soldiers into her undead puppets. I had no proof to get her imprisoned back then, and Ehito would have freed her anyway. So I secretly killed her, and I didn't say a word when the others started blaming the demons for it."

"I see. I feel sorry for her, even if she became a monster. At some point, I will revive her, and her father as well."

"I'm not familiar with the Arifureta fiction." said Erin. "What happened with her?"

"Here's the short, condensed version of it." sighed Noah. 'Eri was a normal, happy little girl until the age of five, when her father died while saving her from a traffic accident. Her mother blamed Eri and bullied her, emotionally and physically, for years. Eri, crushed by the guilt and the abuse, learned to hide her emotions behind a mask. When Eri was about… fourteen, maybe, I'm not sure, her mother's boyfriend tried to rape her. She saw it coming and kept a window open so the neighbors would hear and call the police, and the creep got arrested in time. And that… that woman slapped Eri right in the middle of the police station, screaming at her and accusing her of having seduced him."

"Oh gods…" gasped Aria, horrified. Erin had her hands tightened into fists.

"Yeah. Just thinking back about her backstory makes me want to kill a pair of people, slowly and painfully. I would do it if those events had actually happened, and not been part of the setting Eir-sama reproduced. But Eri's horrific story isn't over yet." sighed Noah.

"After those events, Eri's heart was crushed. She understood that no one loved her, and no one ever would. She decided to end it all. As she was about to throw herself off a bridge, she was stopped by The Kouki."

Torri snorted at Noah's disdainful tone.

"He's doing better in that regard. He still has the occasional relapse, but we beat some sense into him whenever he does. At least he's now aware that his dream of having both Kaori and Shizuku marry him is never going to happen"

"Alright. Anyway, Aria, Erin, Kouki was a well-meaning, but completely delusional guy. He would see a student being bullied and instantly convince himself that the bullies are only trying to help the bullied guy in their own, perhaps misguided way. Because surely they can't simply be bad guys. And the bullied guy must be lectured to strive to improve himself and not be a loner anymore, and so on. The Kouki convinced Eri that she was special to him, and Eri fell in love with him, hard."

"But it didn't take long for her heart to be crushed again." sighed Noah. "Kouki barely interacted with her after that day. To him, she was only the friend of a friend. A girl that he had saved, a case closed, nothing more."

"After she realized Kouki had lied, that she wasn't special to him, Eri quietly went insane. She didn't make a scene. She didn't end herself. Instead, she decided that if she wanted happiness, she would have to seize it with her own blood-soaked hands. And if that meant murdering the girls Kouki was surrounding herself with, if that meant ignoring Kouki's opinion and confining him by force, she was fine with it."

"So she became a crazy yandere?" muttered Aria.

"Yeah. I'll revive her, and her father as well. It will be a while before I can love her, but I will at least treat her with affection. And I will make her sign a soul contract before I empower her, to make sure she can't harm anyone except in self-defense."

"And with our ability to detect lies, she won't be able to do anything too underhanded." nodded Aria. "We'll give her loads of therapy."

"Yes, I'll count on you girls. Right now, my own schedule is clear. Revive Elise now, then finish Amber's training, revive Makoto and make her part of our faction, deal with Artemis, Hestia and Athena in my basement, and if I have any time left before being sent to that world, I'll make a trip to the Arifureta world. Torri, I'll ask you to introduce me to your friends."

"Yes, thank you very much, Noah." grinned Torri. She didn't need to ask him to treat her friends well. Aria and Erin had already told her a lot about Noah's training methods, and just seeing them now, and how Erin wore her collar with pride, was enough. They were clearly happy with their situation.

"I should be the one to thank you. I'm going to benefit a lot from this." replied Noah, standing. And so will those we bring in our harems… And now, it's time to bring a pretty, green-eyed redhead back to life!"
