RE: Reality Smuggler (R-18)

Chapter 39 – Ascended Gaming Inc.



June 26th, Sunday morning.

 

Sss*

Sss*

"Sniff*... Mm... Smells good..." - I mumbled.

I heard the sound of something being cooked and the scent of sausages, eggs, and potatoes.

Opening my eyes, I saw the unfamiliar ceiling and remembered where I was.

"Ah, right. I stayed at Tess's house after cleaning it up."

Blinking my eyes, I looked over the couch and saw a tall and shapely woman with short hair with bald patches cooking something. As she cooked, her jeans-covered shapely rear hypnotically moved from side to side, making me stare like a starving dog.

"What an ass..."

I am as much of an ass-man as a tits-man, but I emphasized good shape rather than size.

And, on this hourglass-shaped woman's body, this curvy big ass looked perfect. 10/10. I felt Iver Jr. waking up, struggling with my pants.

While I was there, staring at it like the sex-depraved fool I am, the woman slightly turned her head in my direction and noticed me.

"Oh! Good morning, Iver! Breakfast is almost ready~ I made hashbrowns and sausages~." - The woman said in a bell-like voice, giving me a pearly smile.

"Awesome! Thanks, Tess!" - I smiled back, tearing my gaze off her butt.

At the same time, I admonished myself in my mind.

"Iver, stop acting like a goddamn horny dog ready to hump legs!"

After calming down, I went to the bathroom, took out my toothbrush from Storage(Fucking convenient), and brushed my teeth.

Honestly, I didn't need to pack anything to move house. Everything inside my Storage, including my great grandfather's things, the otherworld stuff, my clothes, guns, and whatever else I needed, was sorted into different segments. The only things left inside the apartment were the furniture, food, clothes left for drying and items I didn't see as necessary, like cleaning tools.

Returning to the living room, I saw Tess sitting by the dining table, patiently waiting for me.

And then I noticed the grand feast; Eight sunny-side-ups, four large sausages, a large plate of hashbrowns, OJ, and coffee and milk.

"Holy... That's enough to feed four adult men, right?" - I looked at it strangely.

I couldn't help but think about Tess's previous proportions, and it clicked.

"Right... Obese people eat a lot more..." - I thought.

"It looks delicious, Tess." - I complimented and sat in front.

"I'm glad you like it. I only had this left, so I was worried you wouldn't like it." - Tess gently smiled back, sounding a bit relieved.

"Haha! No problem. I am not a picky eater. Besides, this looks great." - I said and put two eggs on my plate.

Tess smiled back and put two sausages on her plate.

And so, we started our first breakfast together.

I have to admit, her breakfast was good... although unhealthy as fuck.

By the way, I noticed two things while eating with her.

One, the way she was eating looked forcefully restrained. It was like a person who tried eating elegantly but failed miserably.

She was likely used to eating like how a stereotypical obese person would, but now, she put on a show, perhaps afraid of disgusting me.

Of course, I didn't comment on that.

As for the second thing...

"Holy mammaries, those are big..."

From time to time, I ended up glimpsing at her chest. And they are... big.

How big? I am not an ero-sage, so I can't say for sure, but I believe it is somewhere between 34G to 36H.

My shirt, which should have been big on her, looked tight with those melons tucked inside.

With her hourglass build, shapely assets, and 5ft 9inch height, she is a walking sex bomb. If I rate her face's potential after grooming as 8 to 9, her body is a solid 10.

"Trod? Was she supposed to look like this?" - I skeptically asked while focusing on my food.

{Yes. You only strengthened her, so her body optimized itself to its genetic optimum. Her large reproductive organs are as natural as your reproductive organ.}

"Okay, you make a point, but she looks so... hot..." - I snuck a glance.

Even with her body being uncared for, she was naturally hot enough to make many men drool.

{That is just how Strengthening works. A peak body is usually attractive to the opposite sex unless some malformations are present since this is your survival instinct. Weren't you also appealing to others when you had a peak body? You are now simply on the receiving end.}

"... Okay, point taken."

 

I then quietly continued eating. Before long, after I finished around a quarter of the food on the table...

Tak*

"Hm?" - I looked up curiously.

I saw Tess put down her tableware, looking at the leftover food on her plate, a bit lost.

Looking at the table, there were still two grown-men portions left.

That means she didn't even finish one portion.

"Tess? Is something wrong?" - I asked.

"I... don't know. I feel so full... and disgusted from eating more. Odd... I usually eat a lot more." - Tess said, confused.

"Hm... I think I know what happened. No need to worry." - I smiled reassuringly.

"When I turned your body thin, what I did was use your excess energy reserves to strengthen your body in an overall way. That also includes your digestive system, brain, and instincts. Your body and mind re-learned how to eat in moderation, so you instinctively know when to stop." - I explained.

"But... I like eating..." - Tess said meekly.

"Then just switch for quality over quantity. Anyways, food isn't everything, especially with your new body. You will find that you are quite the athlete now." - I smiled knowingly.

"Athlete? Me?" - Tess pointed at herself incredulously.

"Sure. You can do some test runs if you want. But first... Ahem* I think getting some new clothes is in order." - I coughed and inadvertently glanced at her chest again.

Tess seemed to have noticed it this time, looked at her bulging mountains, and then at me again and smirked.

With her left forearm, she propped her breasts up and leaned forward with her right elbow holding her chin.

With a mischievous and somewhat sultry gaze, she said enticingly, "I know, right~. My chest feels a bit tight and heavy in this shirt~. I better buy a good bra soon~."

"Eh... Yes..." - I dryly said.

Somehow, I felt our roles switched. 

"Usually, all those novels depict women as pieces of meat to be picked by the protagonist, but I somehow feel like I am the piece of meat here..."

"Oh, that reminds me... do you perhaps have a hair clipper?" - Tess suddenly asked.

"Hair clipper? Yes, I do. You want me to help give you a haircut?" - I asked.

"That would be great. As you can see, I have bald patches on my head, so I want to even it out." - Tess pointed at her scalp.

Due to skin rejection, parts of her scalp couldn't grow hair properly, so her short-haired scalp was filled with bald patches. Of course, now that it was healed, some hair started budding, but it was barely noticeable.

"You want a shaved haircut?" - I asked, surprised.

That was a rare choice. Few women have the guts to do it.

"For now, yes. I prefer this over looking silly." - She smiled.

"Alright, want to do it now?" - I smiled and asked.

"Not yet. I need to get my measurements and order some clothes, first." - Tess said and pulled her shirt.

"I think I can help with that." - I said, pulling Arly from my pocket.

"Eh? What is that? A scouter?" - Tess squinted her eyes at the futuristic device.

[How rude! I am a top-of-the-line Apex Monarch 11 AR Assistant.] - Arly said proudly.

"It can talk?! Iver, what is that?" - Tess pointed at Arly.

"Well, this is a long story. I'll tell you later. Let's get your measurements and order you some clothes first." - I said and got up.

"S-Sure..."

Tess was slow on the intake but still got up.

We then walked to her room and put Arly on Tess's table.

"Arly, I want you to take Tess's measurements for purchasing clothes later." - I said and pointed at Tess, who awkwardly smiled and waved back.

[Okay... Wait, what?! Tess?! As in, THAT Tess?!] - Arly asked in surprise.

"Yes, her." - I nodded in affirmation.

[Holy... Well, this is quite the change. Anyways, nice to meet you, Tess. So, if I heard it right, your Iver's girlfriend now?] - Arly asked.

"Nice to meet you too, Arly. Yes, I am now Iver's girlfriend." - Tess smiled brightly.

[Cool. I am Arly, Iver's AR assistant, so let's get along well.] - Arly said kindly.

"Likewise." - Tess nodded.

[Okay, measurement, right? I'll need you to undress for accuracy. So, unless you are comfortable with Iver looking, you should wait until the stinky male gets out.] - Arly said a bit unkindly.

"I'm fine with it." - Tess glanced at me and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"I... eh... Ahem* I'll go do the dishes." - I felt my neck was hot for no reason and excused myself.

[Whatever you say, Iver. Whatever you say...] - Arly said dismissively.

Somehow feeling humiliated, I closed the door and went to wash the dishes.

 

...

 

In Tess's room...

[Well, now that the man meat is gone, let's talk about the juicy tidbits! How far did you two go? Besides that one-night stand, of course.] - Arly asked.

"Nothing yet. He seems hungry enough but doesn't take a bite." - Tess smiled and started undressing.

[I know, right~ Iver seems to be holding himself back, so be assertive with him, girl. Pounce on him and eat him alive before some thieving cat snatches him!] - Arly encouraged.

"No worries. I don't let meat that enters my plate escape." - Tess said with a toothy grin, standing confidently naked.

[Oh, we'll get along just fine, girl. By the way, nice figure! But I think you're better off shaving that hair and regrow.]

"Thanks, and I'm planning on it. So, what about you? I don't remember seeing a device like you before." - Tess curiously asked.

[You better ask Iver for that info. So, how are you planning on gobbling him up? And can you turn to the side, please? Perfect~]

And so, the girl and machine chatted happily while taking measurements.

 

...

 

Back in the kitchen...

Not knowing I was plotted on, I obediently washed the dishes.

It was easy enough to wash the plates but a bit harder to scrub the charred oily bits on the frying pan.

However, it wasn't like I hated doing it. Cleaning is one of my meditation times. Those times I clear my head and think of nothing.

While I was scrubbing the annoying frying pan, I heard a door being opened as Tess walked back.

"Tess, finished getting your measurements?" - I asked and looked behind.

"Yes, and Arly also ordered me new clothes, shoes, and other things I need." - Tess said and walked to me.

[And we had some girl-on-girl talk.] - Arly added.

"Oh, that's nice. Let me finish here, and I will give you that haircut." - I smiled and continued scrubbing.

While cleaning that annoying spot, I felt a soft hand wrap around my neck.

"Aww, thanks, Iver! You're the best~! Mwa*" - Tess said and passionately kissed me on the cheek, her giant firm breasts squished against my back and left arm, blocked by two thin layers of fabric.

"... No problem." - I answered dryly, with Iver Jr. waking up.

"Dammit, Iver! Get your shit together!" - I cursed at myself.

"Hmhmhm~" - Tess giggled and let go.

With my concentration broken and my loins aching, I finished washing the damn frying pan.

"Alright, let's give you that haircut." - I said with a hint of bitterness.

And then we headed to the bathroom.

 

...

 

Sometime later...

Sst*

Sst*

"There..." - I muttered, putting down the razor.

Taking a step back, I admired my work before taking a few pictures and showing them to Tess.

"Wow... This is me...?" - Tess muttered in disbelief.

Yeah, the shaved haircut suited her. Although it might not be the best haircut, her natural beauty made up for it.

At the very least, her hair could be displayed in public without making her look like some mentally ill nutjob.

"Do you like it?" - I asked with a smile.

"Like it? I love it! Thank you, honey! Mmm*" - Tess excitedly wrapped her hands around my neck and kissed me with her pinkish-red lips.

It was passionate and memorable, especially with her chest pressed tightly against mine.

Regretfully, only two seconds passed before our lips parted, leaving me wanting more but not knowing how to ask.

Or, rather, I did know, but my mental barriers stopped me.

"Thanks, Iver. I need some alone time now. I need to get rid of this unibrow and excess hair." - Tess smiled and let go of me.

"A-Ah, sure. Take your time..." - I replied and stumbled out of the bathroom, feeling complicated.

Unbeknownst to me, Tess was grinning mischievously behind my back.1 She's playing him like a fiddle!

 

 

After exiting the bathroom, wanting to distract myself, I sat on the couch and called my future brother-in-law, Ewan.

"Good morning, Ewan!" - I greeted.

[Good morning, Iver. You called to discuss the details, right?] - Ewan asked.

"Yes. We need to discuss things. Is it convenient now?" - I asked.

[I have some spare time before my date with your sister. So, first of all, what is the business about? You didn't tell me yet.]

"It's about technology in general. But, for now, we'll start small. We'll start with applications." - I said casually.

[Applications? What kind?] - Ewan asked curiously.

"Games." - I replied.

[You want to compete in the Gaming Industry? That is an intense market...] - Ewan said hesitantly.

"Yes, but I already have the necessary apps. All are compatible with the current platforms and most international languages. All I need you to do is be my technical manager." - I said and crossed my legs.

During the last two days, I integrated some of the Ascended knowledge. Half was about general knowledge, and the other half was about programming.

In just eight hours, I reached the level of a programmer with one year of experience. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to edit the ancient game apps on the library computer and credit them to me. And I also plan on further editing them after I improve my programming skills. By the way, all those games were the top-ten money-earning mobile games in 2025-2030 in the Ascended World.

As for incompatibility problems and such? I have nothing to worry about. Technological advancement reached a slump until the early 2030s. In other words, most applications until 2030 are compatible with current smartphones and have quality settings for better performance.

And when the revenue is high enough, I can also set up some popular online games.

It means I can bulldoze the gaming industry. The money I will get from it would open the doors for future development.

[You already have completed apps? That changes things... As for being your technical manager, I think I can manage if it is small-scale, but in the future, if you want to do something large-scale, I would probably need to study at university for a few more years. You better get proper technical staff. Also, we need a CEO and initial investment for marketing and maintenance, maybe hire someone to make some advertisements.] - Ewan pointed out.

"I know. I already have someone in mind for being CEO. And I also have a rich sponsor I am in contact with." - I said.

[Nice! So, how do you want to distribute the shares?] - Ewan asked.

"I'll let you buy 5% of the shares via an initial investment of $250,000, half of it would belong to my sister on your pre-marriage agreement. Of course, if you don't want to, then forget it. Also, you won't get a salary for the first three months." - I said.

[WHAT?! $250,000 for 5%?! What do you think your games are? Cl*sh of Cl*ns? Pok*mon G*? How are you so sure they will earn so much?!] - Ewan asked incredulously.

"This is not one game, but ten. I am very sure they will earn a 10-digit figure each. I can promise you that your initial 6-digit investment will become an 8-digit profit by the end of the year. A 9-digit profit if things go as expected. I wouldn't even offer this to you if it wasn't for my sister." - I said coldly.

I knew very well how much those games were worth. They will be passive money-milkers for several years.

[... I hope you know what you are doing, Iver. Hah... Okay. I'm in. At most, it is my loss. So, what do you plan on calling our business?] - Ewan asked.

"Let's call it Ascended Gaming Inc. for now. We can later expand on that." - I said the name I came up with.

Of course, this referenced the Ascended world, but nobody would know about it. A private Easter Egg for me alone.

[Ascended Gaming, hah? Heard worse names than that. Sure, your company, your rules. So, before we continue, we should talk with that CEO and sponsor you mentioned.]

"No worries. You'll get to talk with her soon. We will discuss the registration of our incorporation later." - I said.

[Alright. I need to prepare for my date with your sister now. Talk with you later.]

"Sure. Bye." - I said, and the call ended.

Just as I finished the call, Tess exited the bathroom.

I noticed her unibrow was gone, although the area was pinkish.

Either way, at least in my eyes, she looked more and more beautiful.

"Tess, good timing. Come over." - I waved.

"Oh, sure. What is it, Iver?" - Tess smiled and sat beside me.

"I'll get to the point. Want to be my CEO and sponsor?"
