Waking up to Hero and Aqua having sex was amazing. Honestly, if I had to rate everything in my life, it was easily number two. Number one being… I frowned. Actually, no, it would be number one.

  Watching Hero standing over Aqua as she moaned on the beach, his… juice.. Leaving her area. I.. I sighed as I realized something I never wanted to admit. I swallowed as I slowly stood to my feet.

  I looked at Aqua one more time just to be absolutely certain, then answered simply. “I hereby step down as first wife.” I felt pain as I gave up the one thing I thought I had always wanted.. For something I really, really wanted.

  Hero looked at me for a long moment before sighing. Instead of responding, he just walked out of the boulders leaving me and Aqua alone. “So.. so that's it then! You give me an impossible choice and you have nothing to say!”

  He didn’t come back and I rushed over and jumped between the boulders before catching up to him. I grabbed his arm. “Answer me!” I snapped.

  He turned, looked me in the eyes and said quietly. “I don’t accept.” And with that, he pushed me away, and walked into the forest alone. I waited quietly for a long moment.

  Sure enough, he respawned next to me as soon as he died. He hadn’t even made it thirty steps before a spider ate him. I turned and crossed my arms. “Well?” I asked.

  He bit his lower lip before looking at the crabs. “Why?” Was all he said.

  I frowned. “What do you..” I started, but he cut me off.

  He suddenly turned and grabbed me, picking me up and staring into my eyes. He was… crying. “I picked you, I ALWAYS picked you. And in return you picked everyone else. You picked the harem, you picked Sapphire, you picked Alissa, you even picked fucking Aqua. But you never picked me, Alia. Not even once.” He let go and pushed me away before walking away again.

  He once again died to the same spider and appeared next to me. He kicked the sand and glared down at me. “What do you want, Alia? Cause clearly, when given a contradictory fucking choice, one that is literally choosing between being first with me and watching me with ANYONE ELSE.” He screamed the last part and I flinched. “You fucking pick them.”

  “It wasn’t even a hard decision, I am sure you thought about it, but it was so fuckign hard to decide between me and watching me finish inside another girl?! Was it that fuckign difficult?!” He said, his voice cracking as he fell to his knees.

  “I don’t care about the sex or the girls or anything. I care about you, but it.. It just doesn't matter. Cause you never truly cared about me.”

  I stared in disbelief. “I.. I have done everything for you! I made that harem FOR YOU, I talked down Sapphire FOR YOU. I defended you against everyone. I became a fucking villian so you could go off and play with yourself!” I stomped my foot and glared at him. Tears streamed down my cheeks. “Everything I have done has been for..”

  “For the Hero.” He said simply. I froze and tried to speak. But , nothing came out.

  After a moment I swallowed. “No… I.. it was… it was for you…” I stammered weakly.

  He looked at me and asked. “When did I ask?”

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  I had no words. But.. “When did I ask for a harem? When did I ask to sleep with Aqua? When did I want anything from you other than you, Alia? The happiest times we had was when no one else was around.” He said as he swallowed and looked away from me.

  “In fact Alia, the only thing I ever asked for, you never gave me. Not even once.” He added as he shook his head and let out a chuckle. “Though I suppose that was the point. Tobyox wins again.”

  “I..” I had nothing. I stared blankly at him, not sure what to say. After a long moment I swallowed and decided to say the only thing I could. “What do you want, Hero?”

  Hero didn’t speak for a long time. Then he stood up, and walked over to me. He fell to his knees again and wrapped me in a hug. “I want what I have always wanted, Alia. To be with you. If that means I have to fuck every girl in this toybox hudnreds of times while you watch.. I will. But just know, I do it for you. Not because you are Alissa the Exotic Dragon Tamer.”

  Tears filled my eyes and I hugged him back. “I’m… I'm so sorry.” I felt tears well in my eyes and I held him close. I never wanted to let go.

  “So.. does this mean we can go again while she watches?” Aqua asked. I snorted and shook my head.

  “Sure.” Hero said simply as he picked me up. “But only if she gets to watch from on the boulder this time.” I looked at him in surprise and tried to protest. He brought a finger to my lips.”I love you Alia, I really, really do.”

  I put his finger in my mouth and sucked on it. “I love you too, my Hero.” I smiled as I push off of him before knocking him down with a kick. He fell to his knees and I pushed my body against his. “I think it’s my turn.”

  I leaned in and kissed him. “After all, I am giving you exactly what you want.” I leaned in and whispered. “I am giving you all of me, and I am choosing you.”

  “Tama is not crying! Saki is crying!” I wailed at the control panel. I summoned a box of tissues and blew my nose. “It’s so sweet!” My tail lashed excitedly back and forth as I watched Alia lead Hero over to the boulders.

  “They were so close, Creation!” Admin Destruction slammed her fist against the wall. “That void of a reset ruined everything.” She had taken her destruction form and she looked similar to me in my creation form, except she was all purple and glowy.

  “Tama thinks they are doing fine, look at Aqua! Three down, three to go!” I said cheerily. Moderator Time, in her Sabi form rushed over and pushed a few buttons.

  “The good news is that the reset didn’t do any lasting damage. The bad news is that Ruby had the same mental flush as.. Aqua? Except the system didn’t consider her a player at the time of the reset.” She spoke quickly as she pushed more buttons.

  Saki shifted her form to be Saki the Foxkin and sighed. “How bad is it?” Her tail lashed back and forth and after a moment she shifted into a fox form and began running around in circles.

  Sabi shifted to her Anna form, then to her Time form, then back to Sabi before shrugging. I had let her out of the cube and she had gotten her powers back. “Well, she was placed in her normal NPC role in the castle but has no idea who she is or what is going on.”

  I paled and Saki cursed under her breath. “So.. she is reset entirely? Like not sentient anymore?” I asked curiously, trying not to be disappointed.

  Sabi looked at me, then laughed. “No! You misunderstand, the same exact thing happened to Ruby that happened to Sapphire, now Aqua. She isn’t reset. She is in the same state as Aqua is right now, but trapped in the castle at level one with no memories of who she is!”

  “Nya! Can we move her now that the reset happened?” I leaned in and looked closely at Sabi. She frowned and pressed more buttons.

  After a moment, she sighed. “Yes.. and no.”

  Saki snapped at her. “Well, speak!” Sabi shuddered for a moment and I smirked. Saki facepalmed. “Not right now!” Sabi and I looked at each other, then Sabi explained.

  “Well, technically we can teleport anyone anywhere..but the transfer is set up to be a swap…” Silence filled the room.

  After a long deafening silence I spoke quietly. “Swap Alia and Ruby.” Both girls looked at me in shock.

  “Are you insane? They just got back together!” Saki said in horror.

  “That does.. Seem a bit cruel Mis.. er… Tama.” Sabi echoed.

  I swallowed and looked away. “Nya, but Alia won’t reset, we know that now. Ruby needs to be near Hero. Aqua is dangerous. Alia will find her way back.”

  Sabi, Saki, and I all looked at the monitor. Hero was on his back and Alia was riding him hard. I smiled. “Nya, we can do it right after they are finished. No need to interrupt.” Sabi turned to look at me with hopeful eyes.

  “Really you two? Incorrugible!“ Saki said, even as her outfit changed to a lacy bra and panties.
