The Accidental Necromancer
A New Synergy

Two zombies walked into the clearing and automatically took up guard positions, walking right by the two paladins. They had their orders, given by me earlier, and they weren’t going to alter them for circumstances. Two other zombies had been “killed” by Talos. The other I’d ordered to run away, and god only knew where it had gotten to.

I checked my mana. I’d cast Charm Person twice, and Dimension Step a bunch of times. But my mana pool was a lot bigger than it used to be.

Mana: 32/121

So enough for one more Charm Person spell, or I could cast Find Dead and go after the missing zombie before it got too far. Maybe I could use Mend Corpse to heal one of the zombies Talos had cut back into service. I could use the other one for parts. Ick.

Meanwhile, Valeria was squirming in her bonds, and wetness was running down her thigh from her steel-plated crotch. Talos was struggling in his bonds, too, while his gaze was fixed on his companion, who seemed to be in her own world.

Valeria was kind of distracting.

Having fewer zombies was bad, but it wasn’t the end of the world. If I shortened their trip, fewer could still move the same amount of wood. The trolls would have to come into the forest to collect it, which would annoy Xyla, but it was doable. They wouldn’t have to come that far, because five could manage nearly 200 or so planks a week, which was more than our deal called for. With three, I could probably still get to 100 with the current drop off location.

A setback, but not something worth killing over. Now I just had to persuade these two that it wasn’t worth killing over.

I’m tired of giving you my vast wisdom. I want to see if you can figure this one out by yourself.

I could live with that.

We needed information, and the question is who was most likely to give it to us, the squirming girl in bondage, or the guy who couldn’t stop staring at my tits. Valeria was interesting, but my bet was on number two.

I straddled him. “Make sure Valeria doesn’t hurt herself,” I said to Xyla, and then turned my full attention on Talos. “Hello, Talos.”

He averted his eyes. I rolled mine, and took my top off again.

Sure enough, he couldn’t resist sneaking peeks at my peaks.

Charm Person.

It didn’t make him look into my eyes, but it did make him stop sneaking and stare openly, so I guessed that it worked. I jiggled a little.

It was weird. I was not attracted to guys. But knowing I was the girl in this scenario, I didn’t mind flirting with him. I think fundamentally I’m attracted to sex that involves at least one woman – and that meant that this scenario didn’t bother me at all, especially as I didn’t intend for it to go all the way. I straddled him and rubbed his bare chest with my smooth hand. “Talos, we want to be friends, don’t we?”

“Evil necromancer,” he said.

“But a cute necromancer. What if you’re wrong, Talos? What if I’m the sweetest necromancer, like Xyla told you. We could be good friends, couldn’t we? It’s okay, I don’t mind if you look at my breasts. I know you like them.”

“All necromancers are evil. Even the breast of them. I mean best.”

“Best breasts,” said Gren.

Something stirred beneath me, and I realized what it was. He was getting hard, and I could feel it against my ass. Okay, definitely strange. I’d had a few MFM threesomes, but it was still weird.

And at the same time, I knew it gave me a lever. Charm Person worked better if the person was sexually attracted to me. So I just moved forward, making my breasts bounce and jiggle while he stared. “If you’re good, I might let you touch them. You’re supposed to be good, aren’t you?”

“All necromancers are evil,” he repeated, but he didn’t sound as convinced.

“Unh,” Valerie moaned. Gren stroked the inside of her thighs and brought her finger to her mouth.

“That doesn’t taste like sweat,” Gren said. “Doesn’t smell like sweat, either.”

I resisted the temptation to lose focus. “I can feel your cock getting all hard,” I said. “Don’t you wonder what it would feel like between my breasts?”

Talos’ eyes went wide. If he hadn’t wondered, he was now.

I didn’t want to promise him anything I wasn’t going to deliver. Well, actually, that might be worth it, if I found out what I wanted to know. I moved so that my tits were almost touching his mouth, and then back. “Tell me what I need to know, Talos. Would you lie to me?”

“Lying is wrong,” Talos said. “Even to you.”

I smiled. “If you went back and reported you couldn’t take care of the problem, what would happen?”

“They’d send someone more experienced.”

“But otherwise? Are there more of you coming?”

He hesitated.

“You can tell me. I’m your friend.”

“My evil necromancer friend.”

If that was how it had to be, I’d take it. “Your sexy necromancer friend.”

“No. We’re expected to take care of you ourselves.”

“And will people come to investigate, to find out whether you succeeded?”

“No. Like I said, we’re expected to take care of it ourselves.”

I breathed a sigh of relief.

“And how about your cock?” I asked. “Are you supposed to take care of that yourself?”

“A paladin must learn not to give in to base urges,” he said. “No matter what.”

“I see. So no hanky-panky with Val?”

“No.”

“No masturbation?”

“No.”

“You can’t even ask me to stroke it for you?”

Sweat broke out on his forehead, but he shook his head violently. “No!”

Now rules like that were what I’d call evil. But I didn’t really want to stroke it, anyway. I could, taking one for the team, but I didn’t want to. But did I have the right to urge him, under the influence of a spell, to break his oath?

My ethics were making things harder. Gren and Xyla were following my lead, but it put them in danger, potentially. We could, perfectly safely, kill both of them. I’d have two more zombies. Problem solved. Anything else was putting Gren and Xyla at risk, me at risk, the gate at risk, the fate of two worlds at risk.

I still couldn’t just kill them in cold blood. And I couldn’t send them back. But I could, and would, make compromises. I would do what I needed to do to protect me and mine.

“Are you left or right handed?” I asked.

“Right,” he answered, confused.

“Xyla? Would you free his left hand, please?”

She did. He went straight for my boob, which I should have expected.

“Um, consent?” I said, a little hypocritically given what I planned to do. I moved backward, brushing against his hardened length in the process, and out of his reach at the same time, until I was straddling him mid-thigh. “You can look, but you can’t touch. But do you know what you can do?”

“What?”

“You can stroke your cock if you want to. You can look at my tits and stroke your cock. But only if you want to.”

“I’m not allowed to cum.”

Now that seemed evil to me.

“Who tells you that, Talos?”

“The priests?”

“Do they follow the same rules?”

He shook his head.

“You can just stroke it.” I carefully wasn’t telling him he should, only that he could. If he wanted to.

He pulled his cock out of his loin cloth and started stroking. It wasn’t especially big, or small. It was just a cock, and he was jerking off.

“Do you want to cum?” I asked him.

He nodded. “Of course. But I’m not allowed to.”

“Is it okay to get yourself really close?”

“I can do that,” he said. “Some of the monks have the practice of edging, and it’s permitted.”

I smiled.

“I’m so close,” he said, after a minute, his face covered with sweat.

“You can keep stroking. If you want to.”

He did, but he shook his head. “I won’t be able to hold back.”

“You can speed up, if you want to.”

“I won’t be able to hold –”

And then he didn’t. He spurted all over his stomach and chest. Some of it even hit his neck. He’d been saving it up for a long time, and once it started it just kept coming and coming.

You have made a Paladin orgasm! You gain 100 experience points.

You need 1896 experience points to reach third level.

Maybe I should have expected that. I was curious about something, so I tried it. I reached out and touched a pool of white liquid on his stomach. Life Drain.

I wasn’t wounded, so I didn’t need healing. I could feel the mana entering my system as I moved my finger around, draining all his little sperm of their precious essence. From a size point of view, it shouldn’t have amounted to much. But it was way more effective than that. I’d found a new synergy as a Seductress/Necromancer.

Mana 52/121

I smiled.

“I shouldn’t have done that,” he said.

“Of course you should have,” I told him. “You wanted it, and I wanted you to. There’s nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with sex. Nothing wrong with wanting to have orgasms, and having them. It’s good for you.”

“It was wrong,” he said.

“Did you like it?”

“Yes,” he said, blushing.

“Good,” I said. “Do it again.”

“I –” he hesitated.

“You know you want to.”

And he started stroking. If he hadn’t wanted to, on some level, he wouldn’t have. At least, that’s what I told myself.

The problem with Charm Person is I had to stay within sight. That meant I couldn’t go off chasing my zombie, and keep him charmed. But at least I didn’t have to stay on top of him. I took a look at Valeria, whose eyes were now closed. She hadn’t been able to see exactly what was going on with Talos, and she might or might not have heard some of it over the sound of her own heavy breathing.

“Valeria,” I said.

Her eyes opened. “Abby,” she spat. “You betrayed us.”

That was one way of looking at it. “If we let you go, what will you do?” It was nice knowing that they had strong feelings about lying.

“Run and get help, and then hunt you down and destroy you and all your zombies.”

Right. I couldn’t just charm them both and keep them that way forever. The spell didn’t work that way.

“You’re kind of obsessed with necromancers, aren’t you?”

She glared at me.

“And yet, you really like being tied up, too.”

“I –” she wanted to deny it.

“No lying, now.”

She bit her lips to keep quiet.

“I think that must make being bound and helpless for a necromancer just the best thing ever, don’t you?” I asked.

She glared at me again, and I touched her where her shoulder was bared by her impractical armor. I felt a little bad about it, but on the other hand, I needed a permanent solution, and I didn’t want to kill her.

You see it! She’s perfect for it.

I did see it. I reviewed the spell, even as the system informed me that I got an experience point for using it the first time.

Imbue Fetish: You may create in a person a new attraction or fixation, which will steadily increase over the course of a month. Depending on the target’s inclinations, the fetish may become an obsession. May fade after the month is over, or become permanent, depending on the subject. Requires that the Seductress touch the user.

Valeria had some pretty strong inclinations.

That is so evil! I’m proud of you!

I might have done it, too, if Enash hadn’t said that. But there were lines I should not cross. I didn’t know that I would ever find a situation in which I would feel okay using that spell. I was fine using seduction to get them to want to stay, but I would still only go so far – unless, perhaps, everything else failed. I got up and walked over to Talos instead. He, I felt like I was liberating, in a way. “Are you ready to cum, Talos?”

He nodded. “But it’s wrong.”

“There is nothing wrong with orgasms. It feels good, doesn’t it?”

“No, Talos! It’s a sin!” Valeria told him.

“You can if you want to, Talos.”

Not surprisingly, he didn’t cum as much this time. And it didn’t give me nearly as much mana, either. If it had been something he really hadn’t wanted to do, I would never have been able to get him to do it, but it was something he’d been craving for a long time.

I’d just given him permission to do what he wanted to do. Now that wasn’t evil, was it?

“You – you – horrible person,” Valeria told me.

I shrugged. Sometimes a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do. “What would the folks back home say if they knew?” I asked Talos.

“They’d – punish me.”

“Well, we’ll just have to make sure they never know.”

“I’ll have to tell the truth when I go back.”

“You don’t have to go back.”

His eyes widened.

“Xyla, please tie his hand again,” I said.

In seconds, there were vines lashing his arm to his side. Xyla moved to one side of me. Gren to the other, and I could feel them pressing against me.

“I love you,” Xyla told me.

“Dominant damsel,” Gren said, purring.

“I won’t go back. I’ll forget all about this place, if you let me go. I give you my word,” Talos said.

It was tempting to accept it, but he’d have to be a particular kind of obstinate to regard an oath he made while charmed to be binding.
