Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 184: Named After The Almighty

"Two years, before this game started, something happened to you all. I have no idea how long it has been for you all, but that doesn't matter. What matters is what happened and what I and four other people are trying to do right now. The most important person of us all is my little brother, Dave."

I stopped there to collect myself, now was the tough part.

"Two years ago in the real world, one hundred thirty-six women and girls were killed by a company called Second Life. Those girls were then trapped inside a game to be used as toys for the rich, no are no words for how vile this is, but my brother stormed the game that he designed. Dave saved everyone by killing and forcing every player out, then protected you around the clock until this world was created with my and others' help. This was supposed to be an easy run for all of us to unlock the game worlds together and let you live however you wanted. The problem was that this game was supposed to be a game for the world to play."

"We...are dead?" Kyra asked slowly.

"Yeah, I'm sorry, but that is only your mortal shell, as my brother called it. Here, you will be forever, your soul will always be reborn. There is nothing I can do to show you how sorry I am for what happened to you girls, but I have been with you for thousands of years now. When this is all over, I'll still be here. Nothing can ever make me leave you all. I'll spend from now to infinity with everyone."

I meant every word of it as I took the girls into my arms. Dave had said that we wouldn't be coming back out of this one, he was going to shut down the game from the inside. that would place us in a forever rising frame jack that would cause relative time in the outside world to not exist. Forever in a single moment. 

Every one of us had been in the game one guard and made serious connections with all the girls. Only the fifth one of us was leaving, but I didn't know who that was. The last time I had just said numbers in my dream, not his name. What if he was one of Reginold guys? Always another thing.

"Okay, I know this is a dick move, but this happened before this. So, for my vacation, I would like to spend two of my fourteen on the beach, and most of the evening with you all. No, complaints, nothing. This is still a video game, but this is for the right to live countless fun lives. And one more thing."

I let go of the four of them and glared at them.

"Be straight with me, I have enough on my plate without worrying if one of my wives is lying to me. No more of that, if you want a holiday, then I will come, but I have a job that needs to be done, I've been working for twenty-five lifetimes in a row and we got about three more after this. Then, breaks are all on me and we will find new ways to enjoy every day of forever!"

"I am sorry for this Hyde, it was me that pushed the time, but I thought I was helping" but I moved back in to stop her with a kiss and then pulled back with a smile.

"Listen here Breaker of Women, imagine if I told you to stop telling people what to do? Alexandria, you need to sit and do nothing, while I tell everyone what to do for you?"

I looked down and Alex was blushing, looking down with a small smile.

"What's up?" I asked her after kissing her forehead.

"Can you call me that from now on?" Alexandria asked quietly.

"Yes, I am so glad you were listening to me," I said rolling my eyes.

"I did, and I get it, but you will be taking help with you the next time you go in. Titania is back at the forge in locksland working on some special plate for you. Since you're so strong, then we can make something pretty crazy, and Jelina drew up some impressive schematics of something you might like. Nina" I cut Alexandria off at the mention of Nina.

"Is she okay? She wasn't with me, and I was worried" 

"Ha!" Kyra said pointing a finger at me. "Evolution has stuck again! Nina got so excited about telling us about the cave that she evolved! And you have a little beanstalk now!"

"What? Beanstalk?"

"Don't be so vague with him! Nina had a little baby boy with green skin and...no hair" Kadence told me.

"Really? What did she call him?" 

"She wouldn't tell any of us, she wanted to wait for you to get back, and now wake up," Kalita said, giving me a warm smile.

"Can we go now? I have been worried about her, and here she was off having a baby without me! Lead the way girls! There is another man in the house! What is that two to eight? Not bad, maybe three to seven with Kyla, I think she might be tougher than any of the boys!"

Krya gave me a finger jab on the way out of the door for my crack at Kyla, but I wasn't kidding. That little girl would only be mommy's little pup until she started to swing a stick! When that happens, Kyra will make me get her pregnant again, I could see it all now, but that was no chore!

The walls we all stone, be we were coming out to an opening, and I realized where we were! This was the lower section of the volcano that Titania had talked about. Beautifully strange was the best way to describe the panoramic vista displayed in front of me.

People from all races were here, not just humans, and no one was fighting or anything. It was just a beach full of people relaxing and enjoying the sun. There were even kids of other races playing with human children, the perfect future I wanted to have in place all around this world. 

I did see slaves, but I would deal with that problem after the jungle. Then again, people were coming and going, and Tigger's family was safe. I should probably deal with the in-house stuff and give Titania time to work on my suit, I just wondered what it was?

The other question was why she didn't ask her parents for a shop? Were things that bad? Well, I would need to talk to them about slavery, so confrontation was coming at some point, but for now, I just wanted to see my new little boy! 

Fucking score! Another boy! I just wish they would grow faster so I could chase them around, and teach them to fight! 

We kept going until we reached an alcove that had a chair with a fair skin woman sitting in it holding a child with green skin. I turned back, but all the women were gone.

"Hyde? I can feel you close to me again."

I ran over and kneeled in front of her and our son. What a beauty of a woman, her brunette hair cascaded around her face with small ringlets forming at the bottom. I looked into her violet eyes and beautiful smile.

"You look radiant my dear! How is our son, and what name did you pick for him?"

"I hope you don't mind, but I named him after the Almighty," Nina said with a big smile.

"Oh god, you didn't name him Gripton did you? You know that's not his real name, no one knows what that is. Alright, tell me! Now I have to know, you have me at the edge of your seat!"

Nine laughed and then leaned into a short kiss before handing me our son. I stood with the little boy in my arms, so small, but given time, he would grow into a man. I turned and walked out the big hole in the wall that they used as a window.

I still had a lot of the world left to get under my control before the final battle, but this could still take a while. Maybe the girls were right, and I should try to relax a little bit, but If they wanted that she should have taken me somewhere I have already conquered! Well, some beach time wouldn't hurt tomorrow, but today was a workday, after this. 

I turned back to Nina who was standing in a soft brown dress, smiling at me. I grinned back but waited for her to get on with it. This woman was trying to build up too much suspense, but finally, she spoke.

"Graph, I think that will be a good name, he is different from me, but the same so I don't know how he will turn out. The only thing that I know for sure is that both of us will be by your side for the rest of your life!"

She would have me for more than just this life, but this was a happy day and that story could wait. I just wanted to enjoy the moment with her, and Graph was a good name. I wonder what Grip will think? That was another person I needed to go talk to again.

After that dream, I had uncovered what was needed, but I didn't know if this had happened before. If it hadn't then great someone was doing something right! Still, this was far from over.
