500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

I followed O'lee back into the barrack, and the inside iron bar door that was closed before was already open. I looked over, and Breya was still waiting inside, smiling out at me.

"How did things go? Neither of you even look winded, so I will assume that it was a success?" Breya asked, and O'lee smiled broadly.

"We flew back. Was nice. Tomorrow Galio will train me," O'lee said with a nod, and Breya's face lit up with a bright smile as she put her hands on her cheeks.

"Really?! You let him take you flying?! I thought you didn't want to?" Breya asked in shock, and O'lee looked at me.

"I trust Galio," O'lee said, and I felt the weight of those words, and Breya nodded.

​ "I see. That is good then, but it is your turn to take the front desk now. I would like to walk with Galio to go see Listenia before they leave. I am curious to see what she says about last night's events. I am sure that she will have an opinion about Claire being demoted," Breya explained as she walked around with my food in her hand.

I noticed the package was retired when Breya handed it to me. I narrowed my eyes on the knot and then at the Angel that was suddenly looking away from me.

"There was no cake…." Breya said quietly.

"I told you there wasn't any," I growled.

"You didn't know if there was," Breya said, looking up at me.

"That doesn't make it better!" I complained, putting my free hand to my forehead.

"Be more sure about what food you leave me," Breya said plainly, crossing her arms.

"Stay out of food that's not yours!" I growled as I pushed the door open to leave.

"Eat your cake before you visit an Angel!" Breya declared as she marched out with her nose in the air, hitting me with one of her wings.

"You're pretty mouthy for an Angel!" I said as I turned and slapped her ass soundly as the door closed behind me.

"Ouch! Now that is just being a poor loser of the argument!" Breya complained as she rubbed the bare cheek I had slapped that was just barely covered by her dress.

"Don't make me take you up to that cloud and put you over my knee!" I threatened with a grin.

"As much fun as that sounds, Listenia will beat us both black and blue if I take any of her fun away. I am just coming to talk with her, but if you want to play in the clouds again, let me know. I can't make another egg even if I wanted to right now, so you can fill me full again. I have never heard of something like you and that growth of yours, but I want more!" Breya said as she leaned into me, and I kissed her.

"Fair enough, and I will be taking you up on that offer. I love hearing the sound of your voice, and even more when I made you cry out your Angelic chorus," I smiled, and Breya kissed me back.

Then we broke apart with several women watching us, but Breya ignored them as she pulled away from me to start walking south. I followed, and we walked past the entrance to Tulips bar, reminding me about last night.

"Hey, so what is happening about Nyala?" I asked, and Breya shrugged.

"Nothing for now. Even if you say that you will fix the problems with Morgana, we still need to be on guard until you do. Once, and only if you can give the Lich Queen a Child, then we will be disbanded, along with one hundred and fifty of the more elite group on The South Wall, Breya explained as we walked into the diamond-shaped market area.

"Really? That seems like a lot of people are on standby, or maybe it isn't? They must have to run three shifts, so there wouldn't be much room for anyone to be sick," I said, and Breya nodded as we walked around the Market to the east.

Listenia had said she owned the Armor Shop that was attached to the back of her Weapons Shop. I turned us south down the first street after the Market, and Breya looked up at me.

"You seem to have a pretty good sense of direction. You are trying to get to Listenia's Armor Shop, right?" Breya asked, and I nodded.

"Yes, she said to come to check it out. Can you tell me a bit more about the south wall and the people there?" I asked, and Breya nodded.

"They are a group of people there that defend the wall constantly. There are fifty women on the wall at any time, and there are always at least one hundred or more on standby. Their shifts can get pretty tight if people get hurt, and most people have to work longer than they should. Each strong warrior from all races has to spend at least one year on the wall, up to five. The longer they stay, the more prestige they will have earned when they get back," Breya explained, and I nodded as we reached Listenia's Armor shop.

The front of this shop was no less than the front with armored female wood knights carved into the wood on either side of the door. I was really excited to see this Elf in action.

"You are late," Listenia said the moment I opened the door to enter the shop.

"Hardly late if we didn't set a specific time," I replied, smiling as Breya followed me into the shop.

"What does Wings want?" Listenia asked, narrowing her eyes at Breya.

"Wings wants to ask you some questions. I was going to come here regardless, pointy ears. What do you think of Claire's little folly last night? Tallia will be bringing her here soon for Galio to watch over, so I wanted to see what she is going to do," Breya replied in an icy tone that made Listenia smile.

"Wait, you are talking about the Holy Beholder, right?" I asked, and both women rolled their eyes at me.

"Did you really think that her name was Holy Beholder?" Listenia asked, and I frowned.

"How was I supposed to know? Don't start pulling that lip with me, woman! I came here after I finished my training with O'lee. I have been up since before the sun, so give me a break," I groaned, and Listenia sighed.

"Well, at least you are warmed up," Listenia said, and I grinned.

"Yeah, you could say that. You know, if we are running to the forest, maybe Tallia will just drop her off, and we can leave the creature somewhere?" I suggested, but then I felt that familiarity appear behind me.

"That wouldn't be very nice to the person you have been left in charge of," Tallia said from behind me.

I turned to see her standing with the once Holy Beholder, but now I couldn't even tell that she was an Angel. Even her wings were gone now, and there was a golden choker around her neck, but she still had the same single eye and hair eyes.

"I was just kidding! What a surprise to see you here! Looks like you have got my little troublemaker chained and bound! Did most of the work for me!" I replied with a big smile.

"Don't get cute with me, man! You are to watch over this one until I deem that she is ready to return to her post or completely stripped of her rank. This is all up to her and how she decides to act going forward. At the moment, no Angels can complete Mating Rituals, but that is not a serious problem since Angels don't die unless killed," Tallia explained, and I winced back.

"So, you are dumping your problems on this new person that has arrived in our world? Quite convenient for you," Listenia said as she looked down her nose at Tallia.

"Excuse me? Did Elfinia not teach you better manners? I am sure that Galio can teach you some if you are lacking. Maybe you would like to join Claire? Galio wouldn't need a Divine Domination Collar for that," Tallia threatened, and Listenia backed down, to my surprise.

"My apologies, Goddess. I just find it strange that a new strange Human appears on this island of all places, and you already have tasks for them. On top of that, they are clearly in a class of all their own to be able to keep up with an Orc," Listenia said with a bowed head, and Tallia sighed.

"Why and how I know this man is not anyone's concern. Why he is here is. Galio was sent here to tidy up the beautiful mess that this world has become. You all have different agendas, and many are cruel to others and each other. This is spread to become racial traits, and I think it is about time that things start to change. Galio is the change that I brought to the world, and no one has as much experience in correcting problems as this man," Tallia explained, and everyone's eyes were on me.

"Don't look at me like I am just going to instantly create world peace. I am just as confused as you are about what is going on!" I complained.

"Well, if that is the case, then this "He" has become much more interesting. I would like to see what happens with Claire. The girl that can see everything but has nothing to say right now," Listenia said, turning her gaze on the silent one-eyed girl.
