Chapter 268 – Re: Pent

Day 5

John's eyes shot open as yet another nightmare disturbed his sleep. This time, a Zergling killed him while he was being held down by the undead, while Mica, Lucy, and Tanya were being devoured by other beasts in front of him. 

First Zerglings, now the undead... Damn it... I used to sleep so soundly.

Aqua and Mi had squished themselves into his sides, holding him in place, so he wasn't going anywhere soon. Not ready to try to sleep again, he opened up his status window, curious how the hunting went yesterday.

Now that is interesting. Apparently, I gained a skill... is that from eating the rabbit or something a goblin would get naturally by levelling up?

He closed the window and let out a sigh. Something was bothering him, and he had put it off last night because of Aqua's injury, but he couldn't put it off any longer. There were no older female goblins remaining in the nest as far as he could tell. 

"Where in the hell are our mothers?" He asked the room. He shrugged off Mi and Aqua as gently as he could, and with a quick twist, managed to extract himself from their cuddles. He watched as they both groaned for a moment, then hugged each other in their sleep, the scene oddly cute considering they were both goblins. 

I mean, we are not as ugly as the other goblins I have encountered before... closer to human in look instead of bestial. According to Jii, hobgoblins look almost like humans and are sometimes welcomed as residents of human villages.

He shoved one of the rabbit horns in his loincloth and walked outside. The night air was cool, but the moon cast a soft light into the glen, giving it a serene appearance. His night vision pretty much allowed him to walk in the dark without the need of a light source, so with the moonlight, it was almost like noon outside for him. 

He made his way over to the storage cave, mindful to watch out for the wolves that were said to prowl around the area at night. There didn't seem to be anything out there other than a few crickets and an owl hooting in the distance, but it never hurt to pay attention. 

The storage room was actually under the roots of a massive tree, the cavernous opening tall enough for a human to walk in comfortably. Inside were large piles of discarded supplies, presumably from merchants the goblins had raided in the past. There was a hell of a lot of it, but it mostly looked like junk.

"Hmm... I wonder..." He said, then activated True Sight. His eye lit up, and suddenly several lights appeared inside the pile; he could tell they had magical signatures. A particular area in the back glowed brighter than the others, so he made his way there first. He shut true sight off and gave a small laugh.

Hah, my Leathers are here... and Aqua's whale. I'll have to give that to her later.  

He shrugged out of his loincloth and got into his leathers. They didn't provide him with any combat bonuses as his armour did, but it was nice to be wearing them again. They seemed to fit him despite the sheer size difference between his two bodies, but it was hardly the strangest thing that had ever happened to him. He checked his pockets, and his house and Substance X were there. Beside his clothes was also a bucket filled with tools, and he found a beat-up, rusty old sword. It was clearly on its last legs, but he decided to take it with him anyway. 

There are baskets, boards, and a crap load of bolts of cloth here. Why the hell are we in dirty loincloths if we have all this stuff?  With how well he speaks, you would think Jii would be smart enough to at least be sleeping on top of some of this stuff, or covering himself with a blanket.

John was about to leave when he noticed a door on the back wall that seemed to lead into the hill the other two caves delved into. It was a ramshackle affair, but it was fairly solid and even had a crude lock keeping it closed.

"Dig," John said, making a block out of the lock, then swung the door open. He went to take a step inside, but the smell of sex and unwashed bodies hit him like a truck, causing him to be dizzy for a moment. He shook it off and stepped in.

I fucking knew it.

Rage flooded into him as he surveyed the room, the anger being amplified by his sword even though it wasn't even in this universe right now.

Nearly two dozen women were tied up in here, many with gags in their mouths, all dirty and naked. They were covered in... dried... 

"Holy shit... they just left you to wallow in their filth. Those bastards." John growled, causing some of the women to wake suddenly and shy away from the noise. He realized then that it was nearly pitch black in here, so they had no idea he was even standing there. 

Shit... What do I do... I need to help these women, but they are traumatized by my current race... 

"Who is there? Goburou? Ahh! I see you found our sweet spoils. Let me tell you, a human woman is just the- Urk!" Jii started to say something, but now that he had an outlet for his rage, John acted. He activated his Invulnerability, grabbed Jii by the neck, picked him up, and started squeezing.

"You filth. You kidnapped, raped, and forced these women to have your children. Then you left them here in squalor, not even giving them a way to stay clean. Cattle are treated better than this!" He shouted, gold and silver mana flaring from his right eye, black and purple shooting out of his left. 

"Urrghhh- Ahh!-" Jii tried to stab him with his cane, but it just glanced off of him. 

"Shut up. Tell it to your gods in the afterlife. You will be meeting them presently." John said coldly, then cycled decay magic. The old goblin struggled for a few more moments before the magic decayed his neck and spine, decapitated by John's grip. John tossed the head to the side, then took a deep breath before turning back to the women. 

There were twenty of them, all wide awake now, bathed in his golden glow. Some gazes were distant, but others were fixed on him, with a mix of terrified and possibly hopeful expressions on their faces. His heart broke; he couldn't imagine the suffering they had gone through.

Activating Guide of the Sage, he spoke softly but with much more conviction than he ever had before. "Don't be alarmed. I am the Paladin known as the Twilight Knight, and you are no longer in danger from any goblins. Let me take you from here and bring you somewhere safer."

A woman spoke, a fervent gleam in her eyes as she stared at him. "Are... are you god? Is god a goblin?"

"No, darlin', I'm not a god, though I do know a few of them. As for this body, well, I'm stuck with it right now, though I was a human in another life. Now, let me free you." He said gently, then turned to the crowd. "If you cannot walk, I will heal you. If you don't have the energy, I will carry you. You are safe now."

"Yes... Milord."

It took John some time to free all the women, as his glow died out shortly, and he needed to make a torch. The woman who spoke said her name was Jean, and she seemed to be in the best shape of all the captives. A couple of them still had swollen bellies of women who were heavily pregnant, but most seemed to have recently given birth, with breasts heavy with milk still. John made sure to slash some of those bolts of cloth up so they could at least cover themselves. 

A few were unable to walk without assistance, but he managed to help them all to the cave's mouth.

"Where are you taking us, Milord?" Jean asked. 

"Well, sadly, not far. Not yet. Wait right here for a moment and yell loudly if something happens. There are only three older goblins left that I'm aware of, but let me get all of you safe before I deal with them." He said, pushing the rabbit horn into her hands.

"Older goblins? You mean..."

"Yes. The younger ones are still here... heck, I am one of them." He replied. He left out that there was also a hunting party out, but didn't want them to worry about it. Right now, he was operating off the seat of his pants, with little sleep and a lot of heavy emotions. Adding more worries was unnecessary in this situation.

"Okay... I will shout."

"Good," John replied, pulling the mansion out of his pocket. Sex den or not, anything would be better for these women than living in that hole. 

He walked out to the middle of the Glen, curious how this was going to work. He fed some magic into the house, and instead of expanding, a screen popped up in front of him, showing him an aerial view of the clearing and a preview of what the house would look like. It also gave him the option to change the layout of the outbuildings and the underground tunnels, or even to raise the home higher in the air.

The more he changed, the more tokens it cost, but after a few minutes, he managed to fit everything into the clearing and have the two living quarters on a 2 metre tall stone plateau for 2000 tokens to help defend the windows from monsters. He would have liked to take credit for the idea, but there was a paperclip in the corner of the screen, giving him tips on how to have a modern home in a fantasy world full of monsters.   

Then there were the amenities. Water, electricity, even the internet... though when he tried to add that last one, the paperclip told him it was unavailable in this world. The list continued, with furniture, dishes, food, clothing, and a bunch of extras. He spent another 2000 for power and water, but left the rest for now, as the advice said he could access the menu inside the manor. 

I spent what on this? 20 000? You would think that all of it would have been free. Oh, it's to upgrade from the defaults... whatever. Accept.

The house expanded then, the buildings separating in the layout he had chosen. The ground shook violently as the ground split open and grey stone rose from somewhere deep below. Once the plateaus stopped rising, the buildings settled atop them, with stone stairs leading up to the doors. 

Lights in the windows flickered on, and bright lights flooded the glen, incandescent bulbs flooding this world for the first time. The Playboy Mansion had come alive in another world and was about to be filled with women again.

Stop it! I'll turn this into a place of recovery and healing instead of vice and debauchery. Those women will need that more than anything else.  

"J- TK! What in the world is happening? What is this?!?" Aqua shouted, rushing out of the cave.

"Twilight Knight! Did you just raise a holy temple for us?" Jean shouted at the same time. John ignored her for the moment as Aqua was already in his face.

"Things are about to change around here a little faster than I planned. You're familiar with modern homes on Earth, right? Please, go help those women inside. There should be showers and a large bath in the basement." He said, then laid his hand on her shoulder. "They have been through hell. Please, help them as best you can."

"Okay... what are you going to be doing?"

His eyes flaring again, he drew his sword, igniting it with fire magic. "Purging the wicked." He said and stalked off towards the main entrance of the goblin nest. 

"I thought we took all his DEN tools off of him?"

"No. You said weapons and armour. A house is neither of those."

"House? The damn thing looks ready to survive a peasant uprising. Well, whatever, this is definitely going to turn out differently than I expected."

"Maybe, but I suspect this outcome was inevitable once he found out they were raping women. He is a Paladin and a family man, not some weirdly wired super-soldier. What do you think Destiny will do about it?"

"Do? I have no idea. That is the whole point of sitting here. To see something new."

"Ahh... even Fate won't make a guess at what the future will bring?"

"Don't put that evil on me, Alec. I came here for a vacation from work, not to work even more."

"Then kick your feet back and have another drink. I'm sure the fun is just beginning." Alec replied, filling a glass and floating it over to Fate. The two of them had turned the DEN stage into a proper man cave, with recliners, bar fridges, and wide-screen TVs, watching both Aqua and John as they explored this new world. 

No matter what happened, they were ready for a hell of a show.
