Attention!

A fellow Game player sends you a return Gift!

Token received: “Dairy Milks” (8)! Message for the recipient: “a tangible piece of paper with a letter”.

The shaman didn't immediately realize what the fuck had happened. In his defense, such bullshit happened for the first time, and at the moment of fatigue and relaxation after a strong nervous tension. But only after watching the sheet of expensive paper falling leisurely on the table in front of his chair, and after evaluating the name of the token and the remark about the responsibility of the gift, he understood. Or even UNDERSTOOD. He looks at the piece of paper, even without the envelope, turns his gaze back to himself, perceiving the text-image of the message, and recalls his thoughts that he is not alone in his isekai. He recalls everything he knows about his namesake and the class he has unambiguously chosen as his main one, having pumped up that class quite a bit.

With a half-suffocated squeak, the shaman leaps backward, pushing and dropping the chair, tumbling over his head and calling on the spirits for help. They shelter him with an air filter, cover him from possible curses, cover and freeze the emotive parts of his aura, and fumigate his thinking with multiple mental shields. They cover the table with the letter with a solid dome, seal it with additional restrictions, the witchcraft comes off their fingers, exhaling with the air from their lungs, almost sealing a spatial pocket, creating on bare fright and in a matter of seconds. The vampiresses burst into the room, ready for battle, with Rowena covered in soapy foam, Jasper's dress pulled up and not down, and Sylvia's face full of love juices.

They all look at the dark gray sphere, through which they can see only the outline of the table, and the white rectangle lies on it, the very edge of one of the corners having moved to the border of the table. A few minutes pass, during which the shaman feverishly checks himself and his thoughts, then rechecks and verifies the rechecked. Strengthening of the defense also comes to the level that the whole city would be alarmed about the fact that in this house, they make magick as if they were going to storm the palace. The shaman swallowed down his throat, his throat dry, and could only utter a very quiet, rattling, and heartfelt voice:

"Fuck..."

* * *

He moved the letter to the place of his power together with the table, and took all the bloodsuckers with him, amplified them through puppets, and constantly monitored their condition. Then came the more complicated preparations, accompanied by a lot of reassurances. The shaman knew perfectly well how to brainwash insidious and imperceptible influences through any defense, using, for example, a cursed or otherwise processed letter. And he also realized that Stepan the Other, with his advance in time, with his cooler class and the scum of a regular on hentai sites, still knew the subject without jokes and exaggerations much better than he did. Of course, there was still hope for a system that didn't allow sending something dangerous or malicious in this way, otherwise, players would only fight each other like this. But who knows what kind of meta-skills and tokens the fatty has? And he was also the real Chosen One of his Milf Goddess. She could play along with him, and Stepan was not at all drawn to check the degree of perversity of his earthly neighbor's tastes and humor.

The poison spirits checked the letter, even the air around it, checked the ink and the paper, checked for complex compounds that worked only in contact with something else, not on their own. They checked, but found only complete sterility, as if the paper had been completely clean, even of bacteria, right up to the moment it arrived on his desk. There was not even a trace of any bodily fluid, nothing at all to support an ethereal search as performed by the informant. It was as if the paper and ink had not existed, but had been born out of the void the moment Stepan received the letter. The curse check also revealed that the paper wasn't just ordinary and non-magical, it was completely a-magical. Not in the sense that it had antimagic properties, no, just that the auric reflection, as well as the spiritual reflection, of this paper and ink was almost nil - not a single trace, not a single glimmer of a single feature. It made the note look as if it had been created from scratch, as if it were a store product from the system, or if it had been cleaned of all the imprints by force when it was transferred through the token.

He checked the token, too, finding it typically Milfy, habitually ignoring the possibility of enhancing his own characteristics, but thinking about enhancing those of his dolls. Enforced lactation, breast enlargement, increased sensitivity and complete normalization of sucking on a victim's tit, making any passing handsome individual of either sex happy for that victim to help ease the heaviness in her milkdolls. And an increase in the unit of characteristic, or even two, if all the time of the token work one “mommy” will suck only one “baby”. In general, nothing unusual or surprising, he is already accustomed to much crazier things.

After searching for curses, poisons, tracking weaves, psychic beacons, and other bullshit, and the absence of any suspicious elements, the note itself began to be analyzed. The spirits-readers read-accepted it, and then the shaman blocked feedback from the spirits and checked their state for some cognitive memetic crap. Silence was his answer. Then he ordered the spirits to pass images of letters and lines to their fellow siblings, and those passed on to the next in the chain. Not the most popular entities to summon, but not particularly problematic, and he bought all the reagents from the system without pity, not saving an iota. At the end of the chain, the last spirit worked - a strong one, on the verge of senior, whose peculiarity was almost total ignorance of any form of cognitive threats, he simply ignored them by virtue of the fact that he did not think at all, only reacted to stimuli and obeyed a branched network of instinctive reflexes.

Now he was already manifesting the letters, but he was changing their shape, handwriting, and generally giving them out in printed form rather than their original form. If there was a visual trap there, along the lines of what Jasper could now do with his nipples, then the structure of the trap was hopelessly corrupted. By the way, the font of the record, which appeared on a piece of stone, summoned by the spirits directly into the underground shelter from somewhere outside the city, and then leveled into a smooth and flat slab, resembled good old Comic Sans to my heart's content. The manifested text was mirrored several times, redistributed and stretched, into separate lines, each one a paragraph, and only the realization that translation through spirits into some other language might make the text unreadable or lose some of its meaning, kept the shaman from this reinsurance as well. There was no Google that could translate the note, anyway.

Inhaling as if before a dive, the shaman pulled the stove closer and, looking through a few store-bought glasses, each of which was also a good filter for mental illusions that affected consciousness, like all sorts of hypnotic spirals and other crap, began to read what he had been sent. He did not read through his own eyes, of course, but through Sylvia's eyes, on which he had put the filter-glasses, while he himself monitored her condition through the doll. He did not intend to take risks even in small things; he was even panic-stricken, so he not only listened to paranoia, but almost fed it. The letter turned out to be written in quite understandable Confederate, quite impersonal, and literate at the level of academicism in the performance of a professor of philology.

\\"Accept my deepest admiration, honorable Sivila!

Once again, you have surprised me! I never thought that you would be able to save this miserable wretch, who does not deserve the Soul Tablet, which was given to him by the stupid whim of the Greatest! But I daresay his salvation is not so much yours as the merit of the gift he has received. Something that allows him to be guaranteed to ward off any blow, but only one? Or something that can heal any wound, but also just one? Truly, the gifts of the Greatest are incredible! There are so many who covet them, don't I know it? After all, I was one of them.

And I believe that a lot of people will be interested to know where I actually got my power from. Or should I say, from WHO? Even more interesting, I suppose, is where he is now, don't you think, honorable Sivila?

P.S. You shouldn't have broken our pact and interfered with me in Iyastar.

P.P.S. Keep a better eye on that boy, since the Greatest are giving him SUCH gifts, pretty soon he might start tugging on your nipples.

Sincerely your Master!"\\\

What.

The fuck.

Is.

This?

"Sivila... that's the name of the Queen of the Forest, toy of mine." Sylvia stretched out in puzzlement, rubbing her eyebrow, which was about to twitch from the tension of her thoughts. "Why would someone you fear so much send you a letter in her name? And why does it refer to events you had nothing to do with? Are you?"

Stepan didn't answer, just turned off the bloodsucker, being in a very strange state of relief, tension, and just bewilderment at the same time. He knew Stepan, his namesake, very well; they had lived on the same landing all their childhood, and then, when the shaman had rented an apartment, Stepan had rented the apartment next door, both of them on the same day and quite by accident. He talked to him often, arguing about how mobile wank games were despicable in comparison to PC gameplay, figuring out whether or not Friren was worthy of being the number one waifu, and just knowing his comrade. And he could bet his remaining comp on earth that it wasn't Stepan the Second who wrote that letter at all! He speaks wrong, writes wrong, communicates wrong, behaves wrong, not at all!

A letter to the elf queen, who was accused of breaking some fucking agreement that resulted in what became a world-wide publicity stunt in Iyastar, a letter about some boy with the gift of the Greatest, who should have been dead but survived.... since he sent him a Token. And the Token was not sent to him by that boy, if he had survived, but by another boy who also possessed the Soul Tablet. A system that Master has, the very type that the whole world is looking for and can't find, or sincerely believes was destroyed in the epic Dungeon massacre, about which there are more rumors than facts, even for Sylvia's informants. A System that this asshole calls the Tablet in the local parlance. A System that is also possessed by the very boy who miraculously survived a certain stroke, being under the wing of the Forest and the protection of its Queen.

"No... No no no no no! Hell, NO!" He convinces himself, but he doesn't believe in his beliefs one bit. "Fucking hell."

Stepan began to be flooded with several realizations of the mistakes he had unwittingly made during his analysis of the situation.

First: the one whom everyone calls Master is not really Stepan and, most likely, not an Earthman at all.

Two: the system bearers in this world were not two, but three, and, come to think of it, there could still be three of them left.

Third: Did his namesake, the lucky bastard, isekaied not in some dense forest and dusty hut, but straight into Queen Sivila's private boudoir?

Two conclusions.

One question.

And over the whole trio, the shaman will need to think hard.

Think very, very hard about it.
