Should Have Let Me Die

Chapter 158: Discotek

The next week flew by in a blur, My wives and I all decided that It would be best to stay home for a bit and work on the land we had. The days were filled with happiness and very little to worry about for the most part. We did have to deal with the carnage of Kalast though.

Anyone that was outside the city of Kalast at the time of the dragon attack was given homes in Dreams. We also helped Kasrt become stable again after the upset of their capital being torch to the ground. The whole process stretched out over the week, and during that time I enjoyed a host of crazy activities. 

Still, the week was over before I really got the chance to truly relax, but there was trouble brewing in the northern empires. I had just received word of a new portable Item, and it could negate magic in a ten-mile radius. This should have been something to worry me, or maybe even make me a bit scared, but what everyone didn't know, was that I had been playing with padded gloves this entire time.

Each of the Leaders had a quirk, but they weren't always active and had to be earned. Mine was The Gate, but to activate it for the first time, I would need to be pushed to my limits. I needed this power; my magic was good and the abilities were nice, but something like a rock making me useless was not something I wanted to deal with during a fight.

Among other things, Wendy had her baby, had some great nights with the girls, but I put a ban on all sex with my wives until after they evolved. I was trying to get cut in my sleep, but I was tired of these untimely births! Dammit, I had four kids already, and I had control of five of twenty land states if you included the monster islands, and you also didn't include the north pole and god knows how many islands surrounding it. 

Another concern was the Tri-Island, they were feeding the empires with new battleships for both air and sea, but we had no idea just how many were being bought and sold. In truth, I should have been dealing with these people first, but the dragons seemed like the bigger problem at the time. Now, I was left wondering what we were going to do about them; Titania had family there so there was a chance that we could get in to meet with the three heads of the island.

Titania had also said that the chance of that happening was about as likely as fishing in a hurricane. I didn't want to have to use force, but they were supplying our enemies. Until I heard news otherwise that Firesti and The Crashing Wave Empires had all surrendered to me or at least tried to reason with me, they would stay that way. For now, both empires were ignoring me, but there was another more immediate problem.

The Hyde's Slaver Assault groups were starting to disappear, with barely a trace. Whoever was capturing them waited until after they had killed the slavers, and freed the slaves. That was the only clue we had; there were no prints or signs of a struggle. It was like they had just disappeared.

This was the most important thing on my ever-growing list of things I needed to do or figure out. I really thought that me staying in my capital of Dreams was going to help me get on top of things, but every problem or task that was righted ended up breeding new tasks or problems. It was easier when I wasn't here, but that was only for me, I couldn't leave everything up to my wives, no matter how badly I wanted to.

No, as the unnamed King of this world, I had a lot of things that needed to happen before I could consolidate my hold on the world. Still, this problem with the Assault teams was really starting to get on my nerves, The Hydes had been staying true to their goals and the leader had set out to me. The issue now was that the hunters didn't want to go out, so I decided that It was time for me to step in.

And it was a complete failure, for catching the people taking my people at least. Each time I went out, I came back with a group of slaves and slavers. The other parties would kill them, and I couldn't blame them, but I had the power to give them a chance to be better, so I always gave them the option. There wasn't a single person that refused my offer, but I made it clear that I wasn't looking for a fight, I let them know that I would slaughter them if there was resistance.

This was ruthless, but it so far had a zero percent casualty rate on both ends, but I wasn't being attacked. The whole thing was started to get to me until Xelios can to lay with me one night like I had told all the girls that weren't evolved, there was no sex before. But that didn't mean I didn't want to see them and enjoy the time we shared together. 

"I think that they might know you too well. You have become a bit of an idol for people, and everyone knows your bald head," Xelios explained to me.

"Are you suggesting I grow hair? Babe, you know how I feel about"

"No silly, you can change into a dragon, and you can become a massive man, but is that really the limit to your magic?" Xelios asked while laying on my chest, her cheeks starting to slowly beat a myriad of colors.   

"The limit...that's a good question, and I can see where you're going with this. Goddammit, you're amazing, I wish I could just make you evolve!"

"Well, in the meantime,  I could always do this."

I closed my eyes and put my hands behind my head as Xelios pulled off my pants. It was late, but I wasn't that tired, I could stay awake for a discotek BJ!
