Strange Bead

Ajax hung up the call with the six nations. At first, they were upset he was trying to unify them, but after he explained the benefits, even to them personally, they acquiesced to his plan.

He sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Lin Ya Lin entered the room and saw him looking tired, so she thought to liven the mood a bit. She pulled out a small clear bead that had a little glowing light inside.

"Ajax, look at this cool thing I found," she said as she passed it to him.

He took it in hand and was surprised when it entered his body and he got a notification.

Lin Ya Lin looked surprised, "Hey! Did you steal my cool bead?!"

Ajax felt awkward and replied, "That was something really special, and it fused with me because I met the requirements."

"What? No way," she lamented.

He grabbed her waist, and whispered, "Do you want me to use it's cool power on you?"

Her eyes flashed, then she nodded, "What does it do?"

"It will make you get stronger and learn faster," he whispered.

Her eyes went into crescents and she kissed his cheek.

He activated the ability on her and she felt a warm energy enter her body. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. Her strength skyrocketed and her eyes flashed with light as she suddenly passed out.

Ajax was confused, so he got combat data and saw she jumped from Level 25 all the way to level 48. There was a debuff that said Potential Fatigue that had 12 months on its timer and one that was called Shock that had a 10 minute timer.

"That is crazy!" he shouted.

 The door opened and Di SuSu came in, "What happened?"

Ajax smiled, "I just got the best gift from Lin Lin."

Di SuSu frowned, "You said we were waiting for children."

Her glare kind of hurt, but he shook his head, "No, not children, something that can help us get stronger. Though it's effects seem to be extreme."

Her glare disappeared and she smiled, "Really? Can I use it too?"

She walked over and started rubbing his shoulders affectionately. 

"Of course, but we should probably find a bed first, since she passed out after I used it on her."

Di SuSu nodded, "Ok, let's go to your room. Can you use it too?"

He nodded back, "Yeah, so we can snuggle while the effects take hold."

She gave a beautiful smile and they walked to his room while he carried Lin Ya Lin.

[Around the time that Ajax woke up in the burning house...]

Tsuyoi woke up with a massive hangover. She felt she should probably have watched the drink that the good-looking guy brought over. If she was smart, she would have used a test to check for drugs, but she was a pitcher in and got sloppy. Now she was feeling the drug wearing off and happened to feel she was naked under these sheets.

'At least it doesn't feel I got taken advantage of too much. Still, need to split dude's skull for stripping me and throwing me in a bed. Probably needed something before he did the deed, so when he comes in here I will...'

As if to finish her thoughts, the door slid open and she opened an eye only to see a man with tentacles on his head.

"Damn, did I end up back in Japan, or maybe Davy Jones here is a Jamaican? Nice Tentacle Dreads by the way," she said as she sat up on the bed. "So, where am I beefcake?"

The man looked at her strange and replied, "First of all, I am honored you know of me, but my family name is James, not Jones. Second, Princess, minutes after your maid drugged you, we snuck you onto my lovely Silver Pearl here. And for your next question, you are being transported to Endalar Station where you will be enjoyed by the Calamity Grade Pirate, Jack Hawk. Then passed around at the local brothel."

She raised an eyebrow then rolled over and closed her eyes, "Damn, still asleep, too tired for this stuff."

Davy James looked angry and wanted to show her what kind of woman she will be, but he got paid an extra 10,000 Enas to keep her "Pure" so he held off. Didn't want a Calamity Grade killing him for spoiling his goods. He tossed down a small bag and turned to the door, "Here is your Royal Meals for the next six days. Try not to eat it all too quickly."

He then stormed out of the room and the door closed with a click.

She rolled over to the other side and stretched, 'The headache is going away, and there seems to be something up with my vision. What is tha...'

Before she could finish the thought, a window appeared.
