The Tower of Passion

Chapter 1.33 – To The Village



As I am getting closer to finishing the pre written Act 1, I am starting planning act 2 - I know a lot of you have idea's suggestions, specific monster girls you want to see. I will in the next few weeks hopefully be doing some polls and questions on my discord were people can choose between some non-plot affecting things they might be interested in for Act 2, as I have too many idea's for all of them to fit. It will be limited to kinks & specific types of monsters, not plot points - but if you want to be a part of this, join the discord. And don't worry - there's still a lot left of act one for you:)

"How have I been in this party for a day and been in this situation twice?" Ash exclaimed, not seeming entirely disappointed in it as Fiona and Qae returned to the arena, to see Ash, wearing a leather harness around her hips, deeply lodged into Liddy who literally buried her head in the sand, or at least gave it a solid attempt. Fiona as she realized what was going on looked away, trying to avoid the stirring in her loins. She'd done it twice today - it couldn't happen again.

Qaerlyz laughed. "It seems to be the nature of this party." she approached the two.
"Is it a similar nature to the state you and Fiona had prior to the arena?" Fiona had never heard such a polite way of asking someone if they were knotted together by a sex toy, which somehow made it even more awkward.
"Yes..." Liddy said, head still down.
"Ah. Would you like assistance?"

A few minutes later everyone was dressed, no one had anything in them they didn't start out with and they were waiting for the system reward. Why it always took a while - and why it took just long enough to get 'help' or a 'reward' Fiona didn't know. She decided the system itself was a pervert.

Ash seemed thoughtful, concerned even.
"Are you ok?" Fiona asked the fox girl.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm good... Just I was wondering." She looked at the trio, feeling a bit outside. Not sure what would happen.
"I know the next floor doesn't require a party - but would you guys want me on? For fifth and onwards?"

Fiona looked at Qae, who nodded. Liddy did the same.
"Of course - we'd love to have you!"

And then, the familiar *BING*.

**SYSTEM MESSAGE**

You also receive a permanent boost to the [Dungeon Boss] or [Floor Boss] creature's highest stat equal to the floor level.

[You have unlocked your [Class Profession]]
[Please see a trainer in the next village to train your [Class Profession]]

"Oh sweet - we get our class profession now!" Liddy exclaimed just before Fiona could ask.
"Do you know what yours is?" Qae asked the sea gnome, who nodded.
"Yeah - It's an accessory profession - [Spirit Jeweller] - really neat! How bout you Fiona?"
"I don't know. I guess I'll find out. What else did you get?"
"We received no further upgrades - the only upgrade on level four is the access to your class profession, mine is based around engraving weapon runes on swords which seems... not useful in this party, but will help me. Did you receive an upgrade?"

Fiona nodded.
"Ehm... I have two slots for [Passionate Embrace of Natural Resources] now"
"That is outstanding - I will see if I can help persuade another [Boss] creature. We have to make use of that." Qae started talking, clearly thinking on what bosses she knew if could have useful abilities.

"Wait, you fucked a boss already?" Ash said, incredulous.
"Yeah... Uhm not one like the one we thought. She was friendly - quest giver kind of... A merfolk queen."
"I really joined the right party. That's fucking hot." Fiona really liked the fox girl but did think it strange that every member the tower had found not only was a woman Fiona found attractive - but also were in no way opposed to the... the sharing of passions.

"Mine is useless to you lot, apologies - [Blackflame Gunsmith] - but will be excellent for me... And I suppose I should show you the lot. Not that you haven't seen it." She winked at Fiona and Liddy.
"[Blackflame Canonneer]"

[Blackflame Cannoneer]

Add to gunpowder, once per dungeon. Causes anything within the explosion range of the next shot done by this weapon to implode, placing the targets under extreme pressure. Damage increased by physical, fire and shadow damage.

[Collateral Damage]
All damage dealt by explosive's increased significantly.

"Well we didn't have any significant area damage." Liddy pondered after looking at Ash's ability. "Other than Fiona's spinning - which isn't an attack right? You just end up spinning a lot."

"Yeah... Ehm, it's fun. But this is great - you're great. You're filling a hol-" Fiona caught herself just as Ash snorted a laugh. "You are covering weaknesses in our party." Fiona continued. 

Liddy and Qae shared their classes with Ash, just in times for the next system message.

**SYSTEM MESSAGE**
[Loot calculation complete]
[All contributors receive 2 silver and 4 gold]
[Two(Common) Treasure Chests earned]
[One(Uncommon] Treasure Chest earned]

 

"First uncommon! Yes!" Liddy punched the air, before the party ran over to kick open the chests, as Ash quickly learned was tradition.

A smattering of potions, a ring of dexterity Liddy took. And two item's very specifically for Fiona. One [Great Hammer] - higher grade, more damage than her previous weapon, immediately equipped.

And then the item from the uncommon chest. It was ridiculous. It was mad. She could not wear this. But she had to.
"Wow... I've never seen anything like that" Ash exclaimed.
"I have not either - the tower sometimes give... awkward rewards to wear, but this seems very specifically tailored."
"You have to wear it, Fiona. It's too good not to. And like, i don't... dislike it." Liddy seemed shy.
"Indeed. It's intriguing. I am happy to trial this item with you if you wish." A hint of Qae's lustful voice from earlier returned.
"I... I suppose I have to. I guess. And I have to equip it right away? This... This is a lot." If anything it distracted her from Qae's revelation that she knew she was transcended. She'd locked that away to deal with later - Inafarina had suggested she could be in contact on floor four, and she would be told that her cover was not adequate.
Anyways. The item. It was... Pink. And leather, with a clasp. And a nameplate.
It was a pink leather collar.
And the nameplate said 'Passion Slut'.

[Collar of Endless Passion]
(Uncommon)[Upgradeable]
Set 1/? [Garment of Endless Passion]
Class Required - Berserker of Endless Passion
When degraded by OR degrading a party member, increase passion by 6 for the rest dungeon. Maximum of 6 times per dungeon - each time must be a different party member.
If able to equip, can not be stored in inventory.
Can not be hidden or unequipped unless discarded.

 

Fiona took it, and without any action of her it strapped itself around her neck, fitting perfectly. It had no buckle, no way of being removed. It was there now.
"Slut" Qae whispered, and the collar glowed pink. Fiona checked her stats and her Passion had increased.
"This is stupid." She said. And embarrassing, but admitting that made it worse.
"It is mighty." Qae whispered. "Also - this is your second item, have you received a set bonus? It should be in your profile."

It was, and it was... something.

[Garments of endless Passion]
Set Bonus 2/? - When you attempt a new passion there is a chance one of your [Garment of Endless passion] upgraded.

"I... I upgrade my items by trying new things? Like new kinks?" Fiona asked out loud. Qae laughed, Ash smirked and Liddy blushed again. It probably wouldn't just be that but... it seemed the easiest.

Before Fiona could get any more awkward, the shimmering portal opened - this time the destination was visible. A village, shimmering, bustling on the other side. Fiona touched the rippling surface.

**SYSTEM MESSAGE**
[A party is not required to enter a village floor - do you wish to remain in the party?]

 

"Yes" Fiona said, although with how her friends were staring at her collar she was uncertain.

**SYSTEM MESSAGE**
[Party Entering Climbertown]
[Requirements to Advance to next floor - Increase party size to Five, enter portal]
