“Hey! I didn’t give you that authority just to slap me around with it!” Mex complained, but I shrugged.

“I also didn’t get it to be held at arm’s reach from what I wanted! Mistakes were made, but now we just have to roll with the punches! Meaning, you are going up there with me cause shit rolls downhill! You just stepped down into the all-you-can-eat Taco Tuesday Landslide!” I said with a laugh.

I turned from Mex as Lidy left and looked at my cute red cat, who was glaring up at the girls. It was almost a bit intimidating to see her like this, but also a bit of a turn-on, and maybe next, I would let her order me around for a change!

I slid my hand up the cute black skirt she was wearing and placed it over her nice soft little red ass, and suddenly Beeno’s body relaxed. She turned to me and then basically melted into my chest like butter.

This cute little thing wasn’t going to be telling me anything when I had my hands on her body. Our first encounter seemed to have left a lasting impression, and then the second one only carved it into her deeper.

“I am still confused as to how you got the girls to start this and to keep going,” I said as Beeno cuddled into my chest.

“I give them proper motivation, and they two seemed to have good competitive spirits. I really thought that I was going to have to try harder. Still, with red meat and fish as the reward, the two girls are more than willing to make an effort,” Beeno explained and then kissed my chest before pulling away from me.

After my hands left Beeno, she resumed her previous demeanor of the drill sergeant and started to yell up at the girls again.

I turned back to Mex, who now looked up at the structure with a pained look on his face. I had no pity for him; the man hardly ever put in any effort to get stronger.

Mex would instead just spend his days trying to fix all the minor problems everyone else had. Today, that was all going to change, and from now on, I would be Keeping Mex with me to help him get stronger.

“Are you ready for this?” I asked casually as I spotted Noel walking around the Keeps corner.

“You don’t know what this is like! Noel is a vile woman that looks kind and nice, but she is a slave driver! See the girls up there? They are on easy mode, as I like to call it! My grandmother is-,” Mex raged, but then his words were cut short as Noel tapped on Mex’s shoulder.

“What am I?” Noel asked from behind Mex, making him cringe, and his eyes went wide

She wore a red and black dress that looked very nice over her curved hips, where it split down the legs on both sides. Noel had conch shell horns pressed to the side of her head and blonde hair that streamed around them.

“Umm, you are, umm, my favorite-,” Mex started to say, but then a door into reality opened, sucking him inside.

“What about you? Do you want a hard or expert level? Mex is going on expert for his mouthing off and won’t come out until he completes it. I will let you out after an hour or whenever you complete it,” Noel explained to me, and I gave her a raised eyebrow as she walked over to stand in front of me.

I looked down on her with a smile; she was pretty, but like Beeno, I got the strangest feeling of a cat-like presence. It was becoming more and more present, and I was curious what might be causing it?

[Something to do with the forms that they will be changing back to. Still, I have been getting strange but similar energy reading from almost all of the Demon women near you. Whatever they are going to become, they are unique and special. I think that they were some legendary beast, but where the Positive Energy came from is beyond what I know.]

“Better give me the same, but what is the difference, Kitty Cat?” I asked playfully, and Noel gave me a surprised look.

“Hard you experience the deaths; on expert, you get to feel the pain. You also won’t be in the same place as the others. The girls can’t see each other, and you see the basic skeleton for the Tower of Training or Terror if you pick Expert level… I don’t know why you called me that name… but if you can beat the first tower in less than an hour, I will let you call me by that, and kiss me once,” Noel explained but turned away as she said the last parts when she started to pause.

Interesting, and it made it out to more than just one tower, and gods knew I loved a good challenge. The pain part didn’t sound like fun, but I couldn’t chicken out when Mex did the same thing.

I wouldn’t need to take him with me if Noel was going to train him, which meant I should be able to move faster. I was hoping to have him with me to deal with the Manticore, but I was the most challenging thing on the island; I shouldn’t have too much trouble.

“Deal, but can the deal also include more chances in the future to win more of these kinds of prizes?” I asked playfully, and I could see purple starting to stain Noel’s cheeks.

“I… umm, suppose, but you need to finish this first!” Noel said, sounding a bit worked up.

“Sure, sure, but I just want to make sure that we have all things laid out now, so there are no misconceptions later, right?” I asked seductively.

I tried to lean close to her ear, but that was when the vacuum of space started up behind me.. Before I could get close, I was sucked into a different reality, then I was hitting almost scalding water.
