I parried the assassin's first strike and delivered a counter attack. The swordsman kipped up impressively and grabbed his large broadsword and joined the fight. They both had already gotten down to half health. Between the two of us, we were able to kill the assassin pretty easily. "We don't have to hide the body. These Assassins and thieves always get what's coming to them in the end. No one will investigate as long as no one from their guild knows your name or face" I said. It was then that he fell to one knee. "Poison. Need antidote" he said breathlessly. I handed him a potion from my inventory to drink. He took it with a nod. I hummed as I looted the assassin's body for the antidote. I did not need to draw any attention from the assassin's guild. The swordsman looked at me and asked I had any luck. There was no antidote on him. It made sense. Why have a way to save the one you want to kill? When I told him that, he just grunted and pushed himself to his feet. "That's fine. I can heal myself if I can meditate. Do you live alone?" I nodded and lead him to my house.
When we got in my house, he looked around before walking into my bedroom. He adjusted the broadsword that was on his back and sat down cross legged on the floor in front of my bed. It should only take half an hour. "This poison is not too strong, but it seems to be targeted for me specifically" he said. He then closed his eyes. I could see his breathing slow as he got into it. I watched him for a bit before moving on to the rest of the house. Over time, I had bought nice furniture for the rooms in the house. Originally, I had a bed, a cloak stand, a wooden table with a single chair, a table with a small candle in my bedroom, and a small chest. I bought a bookcase and books to look educated. It was mostly romance novels and legends. I also had the top shelf filled with spell books. The game was set so that they were consumable for the players, but not for NPCs. There was basic magic for all the elements and even some rare illusion and dark magic. I only was interested in reading the ice magic and healing spells. I had the ring equipped and I could deal lots of damage with the magic it allowed me.
Outside in the yard, I redid the wooden privy. It now was made of fresh rosewood and had a stock of incense. It started plain, but I did not need to keep it that way. There was an icebox in the kitchen and artwork hanging on my walls. I painted the interior walls yellow as well. I cost me lots of money, but I made up for it from all my missions for the guild and helping fence stolen goods. I even had a deal to sell my molting feathers to the tradesmen that wanted to make quills and pillows. Life was really good for me in the city. When the swordsman woke up from his trance, I was reading one of the romance novels about a humble stable hand and a milkmaid. It was only the first in a series of six. I had all six volumes. He cleared his throat and I set down the book. The swordsman fair skinned with bright orange-yellow eyes. He had black hair in an emo haircut. His right eye was covered by his bangs. He was wearing a unique uniform I had never seen before. "Thank you. You saved my life tonight" he said. I nodded and said "Don't mention it. I don't like assassins".
He looked at me closely and said "You are a magic user with a sword, correct? That ring is magically attuned". I fingered my ring on my hand and smiled. "This ring helps me with ice magic" I said. He smirked and said "That is good. To show my gratitude, I can give you some comfort. It might help you with your magic". I looked at him in confusion, but I did not refuse him. His smirk grew wider as he pushed me down on the bed. "Do not struggle. I've done this many times" he said. He stripped down naked and crouched down to take of my pants. He spread my legs apart and began eating out my cloaca. I moaned and squirmed under him. He really was skilled at this type of thing. When I got fully hard, he straddled me. "You want this, right?" he asked. I nodded. By now, I was pretty invested in this. He slowly sank down on my dick. It felt great. He sighed and said "A bit smaller than I'm used to, but I like this". That hurt me in my ego as a guy, but I was losing my male virginity in the game. I was not complaining and risk this continuing.
