Harvest Dungeon - 37 Chapter 37

Inside the log cabin shaped house the main room had gotten larger, a lot larger, and new furniture had appeared. A couch and a few chairs were located around a coffee table, where the remaining spoils from Seth were laid out. Beyond the living room area was a larger dining room table, and a few doors.

“How much did you increase the spatial expansion?” I asked. There was no way this floor was only forty by sixty, not with doors leading to other areas.

“Just a bit.” Zephirah replied evasively.

I frowned up at the sprite but she didn’t seem to care. “This is our home, we might as well make it comfortable.” she told me.

I didn’t disagree with her, but why be secretive?

“Fine, walk us through it.” I told her looking around. Neither the fire dryad or the fire tail fox were in sight.

“This floor has the living room, dining room, kitchen, and two guest rooms with a bathroom for them to share. The second floor has six rooms, and a large communal bathroom. Everyone except Jason and Vanessa will live on the second floor. The basement has one large master bedroom with its own spacious bathroom, and two more smaller master bedrooms. Obviously Jason will get the larger master bedroom, Vanessa will get one of the smaller ones, while the last will be left empty for now.” Zephirah explained.

I eyed Zephirah curiously. “The house doesn’t look like it has a second floor from outside.

“Separate space anomaly.” Zephirah replied like the answer was obvious.

I stared at the sprite for a few moments, “You just made that up.” I retorted.

Zephirah stuck her tongue out at me. “Fine, I put up an illusion so we can hide the upper and lower floors if necessary.” Zephirah admitted.

I nodded at that.

“Why the floor separation.” Rena asked.

“Do I really need to elaborate on that?” Zephirah asked in return.

“Yes.” Selia said supporting Rena.

“Seems obvious to me, Vanessa will be, well it makes sense for her to stay near Jason, the fire dryad is a guest so she is in a guest room, and the zoo stays upstairs.” Lilian spoke up.

I stared at the little fairy trying desperately to hold it in, but I failed. I snickered then I didn’t seem to be able to hold myself back. I started to laugh, a deep belly laugh. I laughed for a while as it washed away the stress of the day.

When I finally recovered the girls were all staring at me like I had gone crazy. I thought about apologizing, but I decided not too. It had been a long day, I needed sleep, I could apologize tomorrow, if I needed too.

“As I was saying, no, the upper floor is for potential harem members. If anyone decides not to step into that role they can stay on the upper floor.” Zephirah said.

“Making an assumption on Vanessa’s part, aren’t you?” Elisia asked.

“No, I will stay close to master and see to his needs.” Vanessa spoke up.

I caught the insinuation. I looked over at the beautiful gemini and she returned my gaze. I knew I was interested in her, but with all that had gone on, especially today, I wasn’t sure what I thought about it all.

“What about you and Lilian?” I asked Zephirah.

“I have my own personal dimension as the core operator. If you behave maybe I will let you see it someday.” Zephirah told me with a smirk. “As for Lilian, her duties should be finished tonight.”

I looked over to the fairy to see her nod. “Yes, I will pass on the knowledge tonight before you sleep.” Lilian agreed.

I nodded, there had not been any word on whether she was staying or returning once she was done.

I looked over to Zephirah sending her a very firm thought. ‘You will not consume her the moment, or even the moment after, she passes on the knowledge to me.’

I saw the sprite’s eyes shift over to me.

‘Do not pretend you didn’t hear me.’ I thought to her sternly.

‘Fine, I heard you.’ Zephirah replied a bit sulkily.

I nodded then headed for the door that led downstairs to my room. “Have a nice night ladies, I need sleep.” I told them.

“What about the fake Candice?” Zephirah asked me.

I shrugged. “No idea, we will need to speak to the company, but that can wait until I get some sleep.” I replied.

“Invigorating Water?” Zephirah called.

“Bathtub.” I replied without stopping.

“Fine, whatever, do what you want.” Zephirah said waving me away.

I rolled my eyes and kept going.

The door to the lower floor was solid and opened onto a well lit polished wood staircase. As I went down the stairs I finally noticed that Vanessa was following me.

“You do know that I am not going to be ready for that.” I told her knowing I was lying through my teeth. If she so much as hinted that she wanted too I would be ready no matter my exhaustion or confused thoughts and emotions.

Vanessa giggled. “I am sure, but I thought we should talk a bit.” she told me. “With the brainwashing from Seth gone, I was able to remember a few things. Using Zephirah’s help I was even able to confirm them.” she told me.

“When did you have the time to do that?” I asked.

“I wasn’t actually dead Jason. My consciousness was inside the core waiting for my body to reform before I returned to it. While I was in there we talked about a lot.” she replied.

I was a bit surprised. I never even wondered what happened to her between the moment she died and her body reformed.

“I see.” I said as I wasn’t sure what else to say.

The lower floor was fairly simple, the stairs led to a hallway, there was a door on either side and a double door at the end. It was obvious which room was mine. I led the way down the hall then opened the double doors. The room inside was rather large, but made cramped by the oversized bed that took up over half of the space. I had never seen a bed that large. It didn’t have a head or footboard, just a large mattress covered in a dark blue comforter and a large pile of blue and black pillows. By itself it was larger than the bedroom I grew up in.

“Well, there will be plenty of room for all of us.” Vanessa stated when she peered over my shoulder into the room.

I frowned, Zephirah had been referencing the harem several times, and I honestly wasn’t against the idea of having multiple beautiful women, but that was just an idea, a day dream, or a wet dream. Actually having more than one woman…, I already had one woman and knew how much time and effort she needed, and it still wasn’t enough.

“Come on, I can rub your back while we talk.” Vanessa said pushing me into the room.

I went in then followed her lead as she dragged me to the bed. I stripped out of my shirt and pants without fighting her. Whether she was interested in getting into bed with me or not, I knew where it was going and decided not to make an issue of it. Once I was left in just my boxers I crawled onto the large bed and stretched out.

Vanessa crawled up beside me then started to gently rub my back. Seemed like she had been serious.

“So what did you want to tell me?” I asked after a few moments. I was already tired and a rub wasn’t helping to keep me awake. If she hadn’t said that she wanted to talk, I would have already been asleep.

“I am a gemini, I told you this already, and you have seen a bit of what the means.” Vanessa told me then I felt another pair of hands on my back. I turned my head to look back but Vanessa smacked the back of my head. “No peeking.”

However when the third pair of hands started to rub my calf muscles I couldn’t not look. I twisted to get a view of what was going on. Three Vanessa’s were kneeling around me, and only one was wearing any clothes.

“Eyes forward!” the Vanessa’s commanded.

As I was clearly outnumbered I did what I was told.

“As you can see a gemini has the ability to split into two identical copies of themselves. Zephirah told me she had spoken to you about my skill, but I just wanted to confirm it. I have the rare multiplier skill called doubler, mixed with my racial ability I am able to double the number of bodies I have out. For three bodies like right now I use the doubler than my racial gemini skill, for four bodies I use my gemini skill then doubler.” she explained.

I listened and nodded occasionally not actually sure if she noticed.

“I told you before that we are one mind and two bodies, I can see, feel, and interact with the world around me from all my bodies at once. Despite our racial skill making it easier on us, it still takes a lot of practice. The best way is to separate the two bodies completely. That was how Seth found me. My family and I had all separated our bodies and were practicing in two different locations. To improve my own skill I used doubler. Seth saw three of me in one location and assumed I was a triple mutation, which is a gemini who can split into three, if the name didn’t make it obvious.” Vanessa continued.

“Are you still listening?” she asked me.

“Yes.” I replied quickly.

“Good, Seth reacted quickly to what he saw, he called his men up and they slaughtered my family in front of me. Then he had one of his men hypnotize me before running off with me. Funny fact about hypnotizing and brainwashing, they don’t work very well on gemini unless we are combined into one body. Even though I cancelled my doubler skill and returned to the one body in his presence, my other body wasn’t present. Kind of created a multiple personality complex in my head. When he dragged me off world I had to make a choice, while we have two bodies, we can’t separate them that far. When we hit the limit of how far we can separate our bodies, we have to choose which one to leave and which one will disappear. When I wash pushed into the portal I had to make that choice. Stay behind with my family, or leave with him. Obviously I chose to leave with him so he couldn’t figure out that my family was still alive.” she told me.

“So your family is still alive?” I asked to confirm.

“They were at the time, and Zephirah used her access to the company’s network to confirm the fact that they are still alive.” she replied.

I sat up and turned to face her, “Did you want to go back to them?” I asked seriously. I didn’t get along well with my aunt, but if given a choice to reunite with Candice I would probably take it.

Vanessa shook her head. “No, I would only bring them trouble. At the time none of us knew anything about the demand for rare gemini variants. We lived in a rather small community separated from the major cities. Now that I know, I can’t go back and risk bringing them trouble, especially when the troublemakers all think they are dead already.” she told me sadly. Then she smiled at me as one of her naked copies crawled up to straddle my waist. “I don’t think I lucked out to bad ending up with a master like you. A master that actually cared about my well being, cried and panicked when he saw me hurt.”

I swallowed hard as my eyes roved over her well proportioned figure. Worse I noticed the clothed version move back a bit and begin to remove her clothes while a fourth body, just as naked as the other two appeared.

“So master, how should I show you how much I appreciate the fact that you care for me?” The Vanessa straddling my waist asked me with a smirk.
