A week passed in the World Alex had been stranded for the Special Quest and world descended in even more chaos.
The forces which had controlled the world before, now started loosing to usurpers rapidly.
The real powerful ones quickly found out the reasons behind it, leading to discovery of another type of force, which called themselves Players, the beings who deemed the world just like a Game.
Most resisted the Players but many welcomed them with open arms.
The alliance was possible since everyone had a common enemy.
But, the upheaval definitely didn't happen silently.
The number of players was very high, each city, towns had dozens of them so they themselves fought each other out of necessity of resources or even for fun, leading to even severe losses due to infighting.
But, this upheaval let Alex have time to grow his strength without incurring wrath of any major forces.
Laurael explained the situation of the World to the girls around her, the information she had been conveyed by Intelligence Department.
But, her eyes especially lingered on a devastatingly pretty girl leaning on the sit nearby.
Currently they were all returning to Unison High, after completing their task which was to help Madison level up to the peak of Stage 2!
After all, even though Madison was super strong, she in the end was just a teenager.
Her experience didn't compare to someone in military like Laurael.
" Wow the world is going bonkers... I'm glad we're lucky, " Mana nodded, after hearing everything.
" Yes lady Mana, " Laurael sighed, " Otherwise our team would have already been troubled by Waltons to return. But due to them having their own situations, left them no choice but to ignore everything here. Same is happening with every major force. "
Waltons were one of the standing families back in Melbourne, which held biggest surviving camp in the Southern Albigion.
Timothy Walton who was direct heir of Waltons had his woman stolen by Alex before being killed as well.
Such a news was hard to conceal, since Timothy wasn't able to contact back to his house at all.
Waltons were suspicious before, but now they were sure that Timothy lived no more and a mysterious being like Player had taken control over the Unison High.
Still, they didn't make any quick decision, since the real strength of Players was unknown while their terror was vaguely clear.
Laurael previously of course didn't need to explain this all to some highschooler, but now she and her could be considered sisters.
Besides, she had come to like the personality of this young girl who was inexperienced, yet had maturity better than her age.
Even though, Madison was lot stronger than Mana, yet in their relationship one could vaguely feel that Mana was the one who held dominant position, even if barely...
" Or.. May be, Waltons have already fallen to Players? " Mana who was seating right besides Madison made a clever guess.
" ...That can also be a situation. More the population, more the chances of Players appearing. Rather than focusing on someone like Master who is hundreds of kilometers away, those Players might be paying attention to their surroundings, " Laurael told her thoughts.
Julie and Perrie sitting in the same car also nodded in understanding, but then they asked worried, " But, Master Alex also needs to beat Players right? If we stay back here and those bad Players grow strong, then won't we be in danger? "
Mana shook her head and smacked both girls' head, " Are you idiots?! Have you not seen how strong my best friend is?! She is a freaking Irregular! If those Players come, then she can easily protect our lover. "
Hearing Mana's bragging, Julie and Perrie suddenly felt rejuvenated.
They couldn't deny Madison's strength at all.
Even Stage 2 zombies were helpless chickens in front of her now, how could those Players compare.
Just the killing intent she currently has is suffocating...
Everyone couldn't help but stare at Madison who was dozing off.
Her picturesque beauty was so outstanding that even the girls felt their hearts stirring.
" Big sister almost hasn't slept at all for a week. We shouldn't disturb her now, "Perrie said.
" Yeah... Big sister Madison has already worked super hard. She deserves some rest. "
It wasn't a secret that Madison had fought day and night to reach Level 49, at which she reached another Level Cap.
" Hmm, but we're almost at the Camp. I think we should wake her up. She might want to do take care of herself before meeting Master, " Laurael said, making the girls smile in embarrassment.
Knowing that they were going to see Alex, they had already dressed up in the car.
They just felt embarrassed since all of them were doing this for same person.
Laurael hadn't changed her clothes doing only some nominal make-up to hide the exhaustion on her exquisite face, but the young girls had already changed into mini skirts which show-offed their unripe yet not any less seductive legs.
" She'll panic if we suddenly throw her in front of Master. So, I'll wake her up, " Mana smiled mischievously.
" Hey. Wakey Wakey princess. "
Madison's eyes couldn't help but unfurl quickly, as she felt a soft sensation on her lips.
She quickly pushed her best friend away and glared at her, " Can't you wake me up normally for once. "
" Hmph, you were the one who teased me like this first. No need to act embarrassed and pure, " Mana snorted unhappily, letting girls around her on some news.
So, these two best friends had this kind of relationship as well.
" Shut up! " Madison blushed.
Mana was her answer box since childhood. Whenever she faced a problem, she would share it with her for solution.
So, she had actually sought her out about some matters in bed. Her friend who had been virgin as long as her, surprisingly had lot more education in this field!
They had already done a lot of things while accompanying Alex in bed together.
Amongst those things kissing was definitely the most normal thing.
Madison blushed even more, as she remembered the perverted plays Alex had forced her to do many times, which sometimes included Mana as well.
Mana seemed to have remembered the same things, as her face also mirrored an unnatural rosiness.
" Cough. We're about to reach Unison High. Since you don't want to wake up, get some sleep. I'll tell Alex that you were exhausted and couldn't come to see him, " Mana just said.
" Fuck off, " Madison glared again and then took out a make-up set from her bag.
Looking at herself in mirror, she nodded apprehensively.
' Even if I sleep, I'm still a sleeping beauty, ' She smiled.
She checked her clothes, a tank top and short jeans. Unfortunately the leotard Alex had made for her was already destroyed while she was fighting, that had really left her disappointed.
' I'll just ask him for another gift, ' she cheered herself up while applying a light shade lip-stick.
After making sure she looked good, she wore a pair of stockings.
She had found some really sexy ones and was looking forward to showing them off to Alex.
" She is lovesick, " Perrie said.
" You're also lovesick. I still remember you asking ' how do I look? ' hundred times by now, " Julie laughed, as she mischievously touched Perrie.
" Hmph, you did the same, " Perrie pouted in embarrassment, as she felt her friend's hands all over her.
' What a bully! ' she grumbled.
Some time later, their entourage arrived outside Unison High, which had grown a lot since they had first come here.
They could see many other cars and vehicles as they inched closer to the camp.
Two long queues soon appeared in their vision.
One for new survivors and other for already existing Camp members which were members of Exploration Teams.
Madison and others didn't need to queue-in to go inside the Camp, but that was a normal thing for new and lower status holding survivors in the camp.
Still, they had to let someone check their belongings and everything for safety.
Sure enough three pretty women in very eye catching full body bodysuits came to them as soon as everyone in Laurael's team parked their vehicles and quickly performed proper examination of vehicles.
Their mannerism was swift and precise, along with naturalness of a professional. Making it clear that such inspection had been performed many times by them.
" Thank you for your patience. You can go in, " The other two women quickly left, while the last woman led the girls inside.
This mature woman acted very friendly and even passed some cold water to girls.
" Ah. Thank you... Umm. Miss... " Mana thanked the woman.
" Haha, actually I'm already married. But, you can talk to me informally Lady Mana. My name is Wendie, " Even though the woman was middle aged, she acted as if Mana was her superior.
But, being raised in modern world, the respect for elder ones was ingrained into Mana's teachings.
So, even after being told she asked with embarrassed expression, " Oh. It's nothing... I was just thinking the clothings you are wearing are very eye catching... "
" Hmm? " Wendie seemed surprised, but then she nodded, " You have been away from the Camp. So you might not know. "
" This is actually the uniform of External Security Department. It was specially created by Master Alex and was distributed to every Department member. "
" Because of these bodysuits, many of us External Department Members have survived unexpected zombie infection. The material is very light-weight and almost like rubber with zero discomfort. But, the main thing is its durability, if you're wearing these, you will naturally be immune from Stage 1 zombie scratches and bites to significant degree. "
The girls were surprised.
" It is pretty awesome. With this even Stage 1 humans would have some degree of security while being surrounded, " Laurael calmly evaluated.
The Stage 2 human like Madison had body similar to metal, the Stage 1 zombie bites and scratches had almost no effect on them unless faced some special circumstances and they could even survive bullets unless they were directly shot from point blank range.
So, such bodysuits were really useful to those who were at Stage 1 only, which consisted of majority.
But...
" Our lover sure knows how to play, " Julie giggled while looking at Wendie making her feel slightly embarrassed.
" Well. It is slightly unconventional. But... Once you're inside the camp. You'll feel that what I'm wearing is already very modest, " Wendie mysteriously said and walked forward, her well endowed behind shook with natural seduction forcing some men who were looking at this side gulp enviously.
"" Argh! "" Some of the wives who saw their husbands like this, couldn't help but pinch them, making the environment lighten up with silly laughs.
The security the camp like Unison High provided was like Eutopia for these survivors.
Meanwhile leading the way, Wendie talked about the situation in the camp.
" What!? There was a Rebellion?! " Madison exclaimed, " You knew about this Laurael? "
Hearing Madison directly saying her name, Laurael knew that she was pissed.
" It was Master's order to not let your mind wander. "
" I guess it is okay. If Alex said so... But, you could have said something..." Madison sighed. But, then she shook her head and continued listening to Wendie.
" Now, after Master Alex, most power in the camp is held by Council. Council has several seats, each held by one Department Head. Our External Security Department also has one seat... "
" Also, the layout of the Camp was changed, as new 4th tier Residency was created on another side. So, that means in the Unison high campus, now there are only women. It was kind of punishment for the uprising of those men. Nonetheless, criminals have already been severely dealt with. "
" That is good. No mercy for those bastards! "
" But, even against those ridiculous people who rose up against discrimination when the World is ending, Master was still benevolent as he didn't just throw them out. "
" Yes. My boyfriend is kind. "
After another re-examination from a woman wearing same bodysuit as Wendie, the girls entered the camp.
But, soon their eyes widened in disbelief as their endless chatting stopped.
Now they were surprised, since almost all women they saw were wearing different kind of revealing dresses.
Some wore bikinis, while some wore sexy lingeries while some were outright walking around without a shred of clothing.
If these women had been ugly, such community would have looked crude and primitive. But, with outstanding beauty and glamorous figures, they looked like butterflies wandering in the flower garden.
Wendie who saw shocked expression of Madison and others smiled with expression saying, ' Didn't I say you'll be surprised? '
" After rebellion, Master made a rule stating that no residents in 1st, 2nd and 3rd tier residency except for Security Departments can carry lethal weapons. To make sure no one crosses the rule, he even made it compulsory for everyone to wear minimal clothes like bikinis. Since weapons can't be hidden in them, " Wendie explained.
But...
" Okay. That makes some sense... "
" Yeah. Master, must have done so for everyone's safety. "
" No way he's doing this coz he's a huge pervert. "
" But, if he said to wear minimal , why are so many of them completely naked? "
Fortunately girls all took Alex's decision positively.
But, now here they all became center of attention. Because Madison's group looked a lot humbler and conservative.
" Big sister Mana, should we change into a bikini as well? Master might not like what we're wearing, " Julie said with darkened expression.
She felt that she should have at least chosen micro skirt instead of mini skirt. Damn this Perrie, because of her shyness...
Julie didn't want to be ignored by Alex....
" I feel the same... Agrhh... " Mana was frustrated.
Wendie smiled wryly, " It's fine. Master is not one to judge too much. "
" Hey. look there, why is there so much crowd in front of our auditorium? " Madison wondered out loud catching attention of other whining girls.
" Are these Alex's women as well? They all look older than us or even Lady Laurael, " Mana also asked.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Wendie for the answer.
Wendie blushed and was about to speak when a woman standing nearby called out to her.
" Hey, Wendie. Are you slacking off from your duty. Even if you care for your daughter. You can't just leave your post, "
Wendie quickly shook her head, " No. No.. "
She quickly explained her reason to be here.
It seemed as if the mature woman who had talked with Wendie was her superior in External Security Department and was on the break currently.
" Oh, " The woman bowed to Madison and others slightly and started talking with Wendie.
" I hope my daughter catches our Master's eye. She is already Level 8 and also a virgin. "
Wendie also replied proudly, " My child is at Level 9. She worked really hard... "
" Wow! "
The girls who heard the two women quickly understood what was happening.
These women... They were actually like parents waiting for their children's school to end...
But, soon enough a dashing and young beauty appeared from inside auditorium, taking away the attention of everyone.
Someone quickly asked, " Esteemed Lady Alina, has your brother invited any of us inside? "
" Yes. My daughter is also inside. If her young body was unable to satisfy our Master then as her mother, I must take the responsibility and be punished by Master, " One woman in the front said with rosy blush.
" How shameless. Can't you shut up and let esteemed Lady Alina speak, " Another woman shot down.
" Who are you ordering bitch! You and your slut daughter will never be liked by Master. "
" You're slut, your last name is slut. My daughter is actually virgin, she hasn't even touched a man's finger. Hmph. It's your little twat and you, who have loose 'mouths'. "
Alina who was feeling really happy after being called so respectfully, became annoyed when these women started verbal fighting.
There were some especially venomous women who could curse each other in nine hundred and ninety nine different ways, making even her sigh in admiration.
' I need to make sure not to fight any middle aged aunties in verbal battles, ' Alina decided inwardly, while maintaining stern expression.
" Silence! " She said loudly and everyone stopped talking.
Alina sighed once again, no one dared to defy her since she was Alex's sister and all of these bitches wanted to be called sister-in-law by her.
Thinking so, she sighed and looked at the ones who she was looking for.
Seeing, Madison's group she gracefully walked to them, with graceful and attractive movements.
" Brother has been waiting for you little sister, please come inside, " Alina smiled gently at Madison.
Her blemishless face and dazzling smile was lethally beautiful, alongside the tight high cut leotard she was wearing around her equally lethal figure made her beauty multiply.
Amongst everyone present around, except for Madison no one could compare to Alina in beauty.
Mana and others couldn't help but feel jealous and inferior, as they watched Alina hug Madison like a real loving sister.
" You have really worked hard for little brother. We're really proud of you, " Alina praised Madison.
" It wasn't much. What I did was for Alex, so it wasn't difficult at all, " Madison frowned slightly in discomfort, as she and Alina actually weren't this close.
They had shared bed with Alex one time, but that time was brief.
Now feeling Alina enthusiastically pushing her body on hers, she felt awkward.
Especially since, due to similar heights in this position their breasts were literally glued to each other while their faces were only slightly away from touching each other's, but Alina seemed to not notice that.
But, next moment even that distance was soon breached, as Alina gently pecked Madison's lips, leaving Madison stunned.
" Fufu, you're as sweet as brother says. I wonder how many times have you seduced him with these flowery words coming out of your lips, " Alina said while giving a lick to Madison's lips, before moving her face away.
The scene was so sexy, that even bystanders held their breath to watch the situation escalate.
After all, everyone loved beauty and watching such exceptional beauties hugging and kissing so closely was attractive to any gender.
Only other girls with Madison were shocked and downcast, only now did they remember the gap between theirs and Madison's status.
She was Alex's girlfriend, while they were just slightly above slaves, nothing more.
Mana felt especially awful since, she felt that her best friend was being defiled by some other person. But, due to disparity in their status she couldn't even separate Alina from Madison.
Meanwhile, Madison moved away from Alina with a slight push, her face slightly red.
" Did Alex send you to bring us in? " She asked. She didn't mention the kiss, since she herself didn't feel that it was much abnormal.
They were both women, and even Alex liked seeing them close. So, it wasn't a big deal. Her moving away was just because she just felt like it in this situation.
Alina nodded with smile, at seeing Madison distancing herself.
But, being a popular girl, she knew that sooner or later she would become closer to Madison anyway.
" Brother has eyes everywhere. He saw you as soon as you came in the camp. You can all come in, " Alina said as she turned around.
Mana and others slightly cheered up hearing that.
It was obvious that Alex had told Alina to bring them all in.
' He really cares about us, ' they all happily thought.
Everyone followed in, but Madison couldn't help but notice the grumpy expression on Mana's face.
" What's wrong? "
" You're not allowed to associate with that girl again. "
" Huh? You mean Alina? She is Alex's sister you know. "
Mana gritted her teeth, " Yeah. But, I don't like her. You're my best friend. If you're going to be close to any woman then that will only be me. "
Madison was suddenly amused, at seeing Mana's jealous expression.
" Okay. I won't, " Madison smiled and hugged Mana.
" You're my best friend, forever and ever. Even if world goes down, your position will never change. You're way too important to me. Understood? " Madison said while rubbing her face against Mana's, this action was something they used to do whenever they were happy.
Mana felt emotions bursting out from inside her.
After apocalypse and meeting Alex, she and Madison had slightly drifted away.
Madison was way too strong while she was nothing special.
But, for this brief moment she felt that she had returned to the time when she and Madison used to chat and laugh together while holding hands like real best friends.
Being with Alex she by now knew what she felt for Madison. She had even felt, Alex shipping for them silently while forcing them into weird plays together.
She knew that he liked to torment her and watch her crying in pleasure while fighting her taboo emotions.
But, she was grateful to him nonetheless...
She now knew that her feelings went beyond normal friendship, but since her best friend didn't feel the same, she will have to silently cherish these feelings and relationship till the end.
