  “Mama! Auntie! Wake up already! The ba’s starting soon! Wake up! e on! e on, e on!”

  The voice of little Hekita woke me up, and I found myself cuddling with both of my mates. We were sleeping on their fortable bed made of fluffy beast leather and fur. I could hear the sound of musid drums outside and the ughter and voiany people, along with the smell of delicious roasted meat.

  “Okay, okay, we’re ing, honey,” I said, giving her a head pat. As I quickly covered my nude body, she didn’t seem to mind it. “Sweeties, wake up~” I slowly woke up my two lovers by kissing and scratg their long, fluffy ears.

  “Hmm… Ah, AH!” Urbosa woke up rather rapidly. “Shit! Right, the ba!”

  “Ahhh… Scratch me there a bit more, my love." Merkite, iher case, was enjoying my little scratg. “Yeah, right there, ooh."“Fufu, enough; let’s wake up already.” I quickly helped my slightly zier mate stand up.

  Indeed, while Urbosa was the more diligent of the two, Merkite was much zier. She took a while to wake up; I helped her get dressed, and then we finally joihe ba. My sister, mother, and even Felix was already with them, waiting for us.

  “We’re here! Sorry for being te.” I apologized to the elders.

  “Hohoho, I am sure you were busy! In our tribe, it is normal for us to show love for one ahrough all matters of physical tact. If you know what I mean, I hope you get used to that.” The Elder dy smiled while giggling.

  “A-ahaha, I holy don’t mind it.” I smiled.

  “She’s really good at it, elder.” Said Urbosa with a nod.

  “Very good indeed.” Merkite agreed as well.

  “Good! I suppose you’re indeed worthy of being a member of our tribe, Bing Xue. Now join us in our celebratory spiritual dahe Elder said.

  “Spiritual dance, huh?” I looked at the people of the tribe dang around a huge bonfire, wearing the bones aher of the beasts they hunted.

  For a moment, I thought it was simply a dance, but things became magical very quickly. An energy that I hadn’t seen before surged out of the people here, swirling around the bonfire as the dance kept going.

  “The Spirits! The Beast Spirits are here!” Hekita cpped while moving around, imitating the dancers. “Look! Look!”

  She pointed above the dancers. The colorful energies swirled and bined into a myriad of shapes and forms, enormous beings above the os, the stars, gng gently at their people. They had the shape of beasts. Yet they weren’t the Gods I had sensed before. They were something much more spiritual, muystical.

  As the musitensified and the dance became even faster and more intehe spirits of all shapes and sizes desded into smaller forms, dang with the dancers and then flying around all of us. Sparkles of light cover our bodies, blessing us with fortune.

  However, suddenly, as the dance tinued, many of the people here noticed something. All of the spirits gathered around me, looking at me with both curiosity and wonder.

  “Hello.” I smiled gently at them. “Don’t worry, I am not a threat. I will protect your people, I promise.”

  The spirits sensed my siy almost immediately, wagging their tails. Some of them licked me, others patted my head, and a few only watched. Slowly, they returo the dance, slowly dissipating into the skies and then disappearing. The danded, and everyone celebrated. The elders walked towards me.

  “Incredible, it seems you’ve been chosen by the Divi Spirits!” They said.

  “Chosen?” I wondered.

  “It means they want you to lead us to prosperity!” Said Merkite. “I’ve never seen this before! It said that it only happens when a new chief is chosen.”

  "But please don’t feel forced; you don’t really o be the chief.” Said Urbosa. “I’m sorry if it felt forceful, but it's not like the spirits are f you either.”

  “Ah, well… I suppose I think about it.” I said. “Thank you for choosihough.”

  “Well! Shall the celebrations begin thehe baart! Eat, dance, love, and ugh!” Laughed the Elder dy. “Tonight, we celebrate the return of our beloved children and the new additions to our ever-growing family!”

  “WOOOOOH!”

  The beast people howled and roared in unison, celebrating our arrival with great joy and happiness. I’ve never felt like this before—to be weled by so many in su ho and “wild” way. I was growing more and more fond of these people by the minute.

  I sat down close to the boh the rest of my family, now with three more additions to its numbers. Urbosa ae sat right o my left and right without letting me go anywhere. They served me roasted meat and their wine, which was an exquisite bination of fermented fruit juid many aromatic herbs. It had a strong fvor and aronger aroma.

  The roasted meat sisted of over ten different mohey had hunted and a few of the cattle they kept. The cattle they had were rarely sacrificed to be eaten; they kept the ducks for their eggs, the cows for their milk, and the sheep for their wool.

  The people of the Silver Moo Tribe very much preferred to eat what they hunted instead. And from what I could detect, there was Giant Wild Boar Meat, Lesser Wyvern, Wrathful Bull, Fiery Bird, and Giant Catfishes. Monsters which are often qualified as D Rank or k.

  Although not everyone iribe was as strong as my two mates, they could biheir abilities and pether, hunting rge prey in groups of over twenty hunters. Easily taking down k Monsters with their amazing cooperation abilities.

  “Is the wine good, honey?” Urbosa asked with a cute and motherly voice.

  “It is really delicious, dear.” I smiled, kissing her cheeks. “But it bees even tastier when someone as beautiful as you serve it to me.” I caressed her fluffy .

  “Oh my, you’re so good with your words, holy~ Fufu.” She felt slightly embarrassed.

  “W-What about the meat?” Merkite was waggiail, also expeg praise.

  “Really delicious; the fvor intensifies with a beauty like you by my side.” I smiled.

  “A-Ahaha, then it’s good. I’m gd.” She blushed. “Tomorrow we’ll go hunt something together, and we’ll cook for you with what we hunted. It is the least we do as your mates.”

  “Well! If you want to spoil me a bit mo ahead.” I feel in heaven right now. “But I’ll also help if possible. Although I haven’t decided if I should bee or not your chief, there are a few things I could do to help improve the livelihood of your vilge.”

  “Really?” Hekita wondered.

  “Yep, but not until tomorrow; let’s just rex and enjoy the night.” I smiled.

  As the night went by and my mates aa joihe dah the rest of their tribe, I had some time to talk with my mother and my sister about life and the ret events that had happened so far.

  “It seems you’ve already found yourself something you couldn’t before.” My mother smiled. “I’m gd they love you, hoake good care of them, okay?”

  “I will.” I nodded. “I am still learning the ins and outs of being in a retionship, though. It is easier than I imagined in some respects, but I fear that might be because those two are very carefree.”

  “Yeah, irls wouldn’t really like you having a sed girlfriend.” Said my sister. “But I guess the people of this vilge are quite different.”

  “A-Ah, yes, they are indeed.” I nodded, feeling slightly nervous. “I know it might not be seen well ba Earth, but I don’t particurly care about the opinions of lowly mortals.”

  “Ah, well, I guess you ruly cared, huh?” Laughed my mother. “It’s fi’s good to have a daughter who is strong and doesn’t care about anything for once."

  “Hey! What with that gre? I just am worried about social stuff, but yeah, I won’t care either.” Ruby shrugged. “Anyways, I just called Juan; I’ll be meeting him tomorrow in the Adventurer’s Guild. he join us here for the week?”

  “Hm…” I sighed. “How about you just drop that man and find a new boyfriend here? Look at all the strong men around here. I don’t particurly like men, but I reize they seem attractive tht women, right?”

  “I don’t feel attracted to them, sis. They have the heads of dogs and cats…” My sister sighed.

  "Ruby, that’s racist.” My mother said,.

  “Ugh, okay, sorry... Big Sis doesn’t seem to mind it, though. Like, they’re full of hair!” She said.

  “Yes! It is the best!” I nodded. “I love how fluffy and cute they are. I would spend all day caressing their bck, soft fur.”

  “Your sister just happens to be much more open-mihan you.” My mred at Ruby.

  “Geh… Okay, you do you, I just prefer human beings. And Juan’s an alright boyfriend, perhaps the best one I’ve had so far. So I don’t want to ruin our retionship. He said he’s okay with ing here, and he’s even willing to spend a week with me in this rural area too.” Ruby said. “You know that I care for him, right? It’s not just that he’s good in bed."

  “Hm, I tell.” I nodded. “Okay, alright. Sorry for saying that before.” I gave her a head pat. “You may go to sleep then, dear.”

  “I was already going to, not like I need your permission~,” She said, standing up. “Anyways, good night! Hey, don’t spend too much time drinking, though.”

  “Yeah, bye!” I waved my hand.

  “Good night, sweetie.” My mother waved her hand.

  As we were left aloh my mother, I decided to ask her about life and how she had been doing. She told me a few of her experiences as a hunter, how hard it was for her to plete the tutorial, and more. Hearing about her hardships and the tless times she went through near-death experiences only made me more furious against the Tower and the Gods.

  “I see… Well, I remember Ruby mentioning something about a boyfriend; do you have one?” I wondered.

  “A-Ah! No, not really." She said. “She was just joking, though, but... Well, I did date someone. A woman, though…”

  “Oh my.” I giggled. “I didn’t know my mother was…”

  “I’ve always been bisexual; it's just that your dad never knew; none of you knew…” She sighed. “I was happy with him though, but now that it has been so long since he passed away, I feel like I want to start a new retionship, but it's hard to find someone. Really hard. It was just a one-night thing, and she didn’t really want to start anythiher. I haven’t spoken with her sihen.”

  “I see… What was her name? I would like to know the ohat broke my mother’s heart.” I smiled gently.

  “Katherine, don’t you dare do anything weird! She’s Camil, a friend from high school…” My mom sighed. “We were girlfriends before, but we broke up and alked until just a couple of months ago.”

  “Huh, I see... I had no idea you were like this, Mom; I see why you accepted me being lesbian so quickly back then.” I giggled. “Well, Father was rather shocked at first, but after talking to him about it, he accepted it extremely quickly too.”

  “Your father was always open-mioo, but I hought it was necessary to tell him I was bisexual, not like I was ever going to cheat with a woman or something.” She shrugged. “But after his passing, things slowly ged... Maybe this is a bit embarrassing to talk with my own daughter, but I really want to experience more of my sexuality as a woman. Is it weird?”

  “Of course it’s not, mom. I am the same! Imagihat I’ve been a virgin for eleven thousand years. You ’t believe hoy I felt when those two finally took that away.” I ughed out loud.

  “Jesus, Katherine.” My mhed out loud as well. “Don’t say that out of nowhere!”

  “Well, whatever. We are both adults nht, Mom?” I wi her. “Anyways, there’s a lot of “avaible” people in this tribe, so you should try to experiment more, no?”

  “Hmmm… I don’t know what to think about their fur and appearance. But they do have good bodies, both men and women, so bulky. I like bulky people.” She nodded. “M-Maybe your mother will give herself a little fun, but for now, just go back with yirls; they’re calling for you over there.”

  “Ah, right! Then, I shall go.” I said. “Have fun, Mother.”

  I walked away as I ehe dang and celebrations with my friends and my netive daughter. I was never good at dang myself, but I think I did my best. We also ate even more, drank even more, kissed, hugged, and loved one another. Several other pairs of mates were doing something simir. This tribe was very open regarding that.

  However, as the night tihe celebrations finally ended, and everyone slowly started moving back to their houses. When I joined back with my mother while carryia asleep over my arms, I found her kissing with a silver-furred wolf girl.

  “Hmm~ Ahhh, Catrina, you’re too intense…”

  “Let’s go to my tent then; I will give you a good time. No promises; let’s enjoy it together.”

  “Uwaah! W-Well, if you really want to!”

  I saw the strong wolf girl carry my mother away like a princess. She didn’t resist, and she seemed aroused by that. I suppose my mother will have the fun she wa the end, which is good for her.

  “She’s sleeping like a little baby pup.” Urbosa giggled as I left Hekita sleeping in her bedroom.

  “I guess so. Good night, little princess.” I kissed her on the forehead as we walked away.

  And simirly to my mother earlier, I was not going to go to sleep yet.

  “Shall we resume where we left off before we slept?” Asked Merkite, massaging my body and then greedily grasping my breasts.

  “I believe you don’t mind if we dht?” Urbosa smiled, lig my enderly.

  “I-I don’t mind at all... Let’s have fun together~”

  Thankfully, I had endless stamina, so I could go on for hours without needing a.

  .

  .

  .

  Within the depths of the Underworld of the World of Eclipse, where darkness and shadows enshrouded it all and where the Undead wandered freely, there was a castle. A bck castle, full of deadly undead, and with a throne made of ghosts and bones.

  Sitting above the throne, a Divine Figure remained iernal silence, enshrouded in pure darkness, and whose hands were like those of skeletons. He had no face; his true body was merely an endless amount of darkness, a legion of billions of evil spirits.

  A bck hood covered his faceless face as two red dots shohin the darkness of his entire being. He was certainly her a human nor an undead. He was a God.

  Uhe Goddess, he had no servants as loyal as Angelic Spirits, but it wasn’t as if he hem; his red eyes could see through all darkness.

  A blue orb projected what happeo his cult within Nexus City—rage slowly swelling within his entire being.

  “Mortal… You don’t know... who you’re messing with…”

  His eyes shone brightly as he pointed his cws towards another sphere to his left. In a sed, divine power reached tless other disciples he had through the Radiant ti.

  “Now that my sister’s church is gohis is the perfect opportunity for my cult to rise. If we ’t kill her, make sure to destroy that damned city and everything she holds dear.” Malefic ughter echoed within the underworld. Pitch-bck portals slowly started to open over several areas of both the tower and outside of it.

  “You will regret what you’ve done.”
