The Gamer

Chapter 8

During the preparation for the penultimate exam before the thesis, I found myself drastically facing the fateful questions that caused me insomnia.

" Decided for later? " stressed my father, during one of his usual routine calls.

" I don't know, I'm considering finishing the thesis before deciding " I replied, anxious.

" It's not too late to take the route of your old man " he exclaimed.

" I don’t know, returning to studying does not seem the best thing. What if I find a job? "

" I can find one here ".

The danger alarm had just gone on in my head.

" I don't know. I would like to take some time to evaluate some proposals. I wouldn't want to make bad choices " I replied dryly.

With my father, I had to be direct from the beginning. If not, I would already have found myself with a contract signed by him for some place for which he had recommended me.

" Ok, I'll wait for your response. See you for your graduation then " he said.

" Yes, I prepare the last subjects and I should have finished in 3 months " in my head, they had already magically become 4 months.

I greeted him and hung up. I absolutely had to find a job as far from San Francisco as possible and I had to find it fast.

My blank sheet of plans had magically filled and multiplied. Now I had a sheet with the option "if I have to get married", another with "if I have to work for dad" and another with "if an asteroid hit the earth". The only thing that remained unchanged about each of the 3 options was the fact that I would have to stop playing on Empire of Gods and it was a sad sight.

I had set myself a goal before graduation and, in the shadows, I was completing it. By now, I was playing quest on the game for about 8 hours a day. Another couple of hours I devoted to studying the penultimate subject and to exchanging e-mails with my supervisor for the thesis on the topics I would address. I had the perfect plan for the perfect life that I would never have again. Janny had tried to find a solution with me, but we had failed miserably. The only thing that succeeded was the week-long trip I had planned to do with her and that couldn't have stopped me. They could magically transform in two weeks, taking into account that I had never been to Texas and I wanted to visit it. Janny was from Dallas and I wouldn't have minded staying with her for a while.

Another strange note were the conversations between me and Samael / Oz that we didn't do very often, but that left their marks. With deep regret, I was able to consume my favorite vibrator and it was solely his fault. We made ambiguous speeches, we teased each other and I found myself torn between thinking that he was a bad boy to think the exact opposite. He had seen my face, I, unfortunately, I hadn't seen his face yet. I was almost about to consider telling him that he owed me a vibrator, but I could have taken our discussions to a completely different level and I didn't know what would come of it. Because of him, I had strange thoughts in my head and it was not good. I had managed all those years not to feel the need to have a man, my needs had been amply satisfied by my range of Wand massage vibrators, and because of him I felt like I was missing something. If we ever met, if he was to my liking in every aspect, ranging from physical to mental, it would have been a real problem. I had provoked him and he had done the same, but how many laughs would he have had knowing that I was still a virgin? Probably, if by strange astral conjunctions we had ever met and felt mutual physical attraction, I would have run away. I was so terrified of relationships with any s*x that my only friend was Janny, just because she was not able to make me feel uncomfortable. This is why I had run away from everything up to now and I would have done it again, if it had helped. The only problem is, knowing me, my run wouldn't last long.

In less than 3 days, I would have faced another monthly event, hoping for Samael's participation. In less than a week, the penultimate exam was waiting for me. In less than 4 months I was screwed. My life had just become a count down. I sadly threw my favorite vibrator in the garbage and looked with discomfort at the ones I had left. I had consumed almost all of them, I no longer had many uses left.

I snorted and made a drastic decision. I wouldn't have bought new ones, if they broke before Oz had found a solution, I would have forced him to buy them for me. f**k if I would have forced him!

" Hey, will you be there today for the event? " I asked Samael through an audio.

He played less in that period, but if I wanted second place in the standings, I would need his help. He answered after an hour with an audio. He really had a taste for communicating with me in this way.

" I don't think so " he replied dryly.

" Come on " I said, with my pleading gamer voice.

" Do you need something? " he asked, amused.

" If I don't find a solution, I have a few months left to play and I would like second place in the standings before I leave. I need your help " I answered.

" What do you need? "

" Can you take down the god and distract everyone, while I score many points by taking down as many monsters as possible? "

" What do I get from it? Even if I don't play, my position is safe for several months "

" You will already have my soul if you can find a solution " I replied, joking.

" I'm also a fan of immediate satisfaction. What do I get now? " he asked.

He was challenging me, I could tell from the tone of his voice and why I had just got wet. Damn it!

" Do you want me to beg you? " I asked, responding kindly.

" It would not be bad ... for the beginning " he replied.

Remember Ashe, if he meets you, he might tear your clothes off because of how much you provoked him. Remember this before shooting high. Mommy Janny told you to watch out for strangers you meet online.

" Does the thing turn you on? " f*****g, I asked without thinking.

Again, my mind had failed to control my actions in favor of my libido.

On the one hand, I was hoping that he would not answer me, hope that was disintegrated a few seconds later.

" You do not know how much " he replied, with a voice so hot that I almost got up from my chair to go get a vibrator.

" I'm not begging you, but if you help me, I'll tell you a secret ".

My libido was about to tell a complete stranger a very private thing about me. My privacy was going to go to hell, literally.

" Tell me a secret and I swear I will help you with the event " he replied.

He had changed his way of breathing, I noticed these things. Maybe I turned him on as much as he turned me on.

" Do you give me your word that you will help me with this event and for the next ones until my departure or until you have found a solution? "

" The deadline is your degree, right? "

" Yes "

" I will stop helping you with the main event until I see you in the toga. Then I will offer you my help with the rest and you will give me your soul. I swear it ".

He had such confidence in his tone of voice that it was almost hypnotic.

" Also swears that you will not tell anyone " I exclaimed.

" I swear. I'll keep it just for me "

" If you were really able to help me with the escape from my parents, you have to take another thing into account " I said, breathing hard.

" What? "

" You owe me all the vibrators that I have consumed in these months because of you. You will have to buy new ones for me and I am very demanding " I replied, in one breath.

Now, I am completely f****d up.

" f**k, then I can already order them. I'll bring them to you in person along with my big d**k " he replied.

He hit, sunk and violently f****d me. Goodbye Ashe's privacy, goodbye days as a fake nun and welcome Ashe slut. I was so wet I got my panties soaked, damn Oz.

" God, so you killed me " I said, laughing nervously.

" You should see the effect you have on me. When I do it to you, accept my proposal " he said, his voice was playful again.

I slipped my left hand into my panties and rubbed my c******s, while with the other I held the phone in my hand.

" If it's worth it ... " I answered.

" It's worth it "

" I told you so many things about myself and about you I know nothing. You could show up " I proposed.

" No, I'll do it in person. So, today I have to participate in the event to distract everyone and, finally, kill the god. Luckily, it starts in a couple of hours, because of you, now I have to masturbate myself " he said.

" Idem " I answered.

" Are you going to masturbate thinking of me? " he asked, almost panting.

" I don't know what your face is, it's a bit difficult to think of you " I replied, frustrated.

" Still for a little while "

" Are you masturbate yourself thinking of me? " I asked.

" From a few months now " he admitted.

" Should I take it as a compliment? " I asked, curious.

" An erection is the best compliment ever made ".

He wasn't all wrong, I admitted.

" Ok, then I'm going to consume another vibrator, so you will buy them soon " I said excitedly.

" Let me have the list. See you later " he replied, in the same tone as mine.

I closed the chat, took the vibrator and came so much that I panted hard. Oz was making my life truly absurd and I knew for a fact that he had some weird plan in mind. Perhaps it was time to flee to Antarctica.

As he swore, Samael focused the attention of all the top players and ultimately killed the god, while I accumulated enough exp to be within a few points of Destructor. Another event like this and I would have passed it. After our exciting chat, Oz was gone from the game again, but I knew he would keep his word and be back for the next event. In the meantime, I managed to get another top grade and began preparing for the last exam and for the various interviews with the supervisor to write the thesis. This month I would have had less time to play, but at least I had a beacon of hope on the horizon.

The chats with Oz were back to the sporadic level again. He seemed very busy with work and couldn't write to me much, but he said that soon he would explain his proposal to me and by now I had nothing more to lose.

On the day of my last exam, which I again passed with top marks, I prepared myself for what was my penultimate important event on Empire of Gods. If Oz respected the agreement, I would have risen in the rankings today.

" I saw the ranking " Janny exclaimed, with private audio, while we waited for the start of the event.

" And? " I said, checking the players on.

There was still no sign of Samael, 20 minutes from the start of the event.

" You're almost there. I think he didn't even notice. Destructor is so busy trying to get to Samael that he hasn't even noticed you are on his tail " Janny said, euphoric.

" Yeah " I replied, exhausted.

" Did the exam go well? "

" As always! " I was getting anxious to wait for Oz and it transpired from my voice.

" When do you graduate? "

" Two days before the next event "

" Found a solution? "

" Not yet ".

" What’s wrong? " Janny asked, raising her voice.

" Anxiety " I replied sadly.

The last 3 minutes before the portal opened, Samael finally made an appearance. My mood was so depressed that I didn't even want to write to him. We entered the portal and both he and I did what we agreed.

Also, this time, the presence of Samael overshadowed the other players, including me. Nobody noticed that I had surpassed by a lot of Exp Destructor, none except those who knew my plan. Janny was the first to compliment me, but I just didn't feel like celebrating at the time. I thanked her and left the game.

A little more than 3 weeks and my routine would be over, now I crossed the days on the calendar with blood. After a few minutes of turning off the computer and staring at the ceiling above my bed, Samael sends me a message.

" Congratulations, goal achieved. Are you not happy? " he wrote.

I read the message without feeling emotion and had my most depressed side respond.

" What changes ?! In 3 weeks I will graduate and I do not know what to do after " I wrote.

We were back in writing mode, he definitely is on job.

" What day? "

" 17 December "

" I'll make you a nice graduation gift, I promise ".

I read the message and turned off the phone.

I woke up late in the morning with several messages from my mother. She bought me a graduation dress and only her and dad were going to attend it. She called a moving company to pick up my things on December 20, and called the caterer to organize a graduation party for the 22nd. She organized everything. She even invited all their friends and prominent people to the party and even bought me another dress for the event. My only job was just to graduate. I would have moved the day after the event, at least that was a good thing. Sadly, I would have the house full of boxes and the computer to play with as the only remnant of a part of life that I would have long regretted. She hadn't even bothered to ask me if I had found a job, she had assumed that I hadn't.

I had breakfast, stared at the thesis which I had finished writing a few days ago, and connected to the game.

I was still second in the rankings, behind Samael, and my mail was jammed with messages. I got a lot of compliments, some threats from Destructor, and an audio from Chuck in which he wished me well. He was nice, but his voice didn't turn me on as much as Oz's, and neither did his way of being. Sometimes he was even too thoughtful about how he tried to try with me.

I didn't answer anyone and just started playing.

I played for the whole week, reading the thesis sometimes.

I also played the following week and I did it even a few days before the graduation.

Every time I walked out of Empire of Gods, I was out of breath.
