My Second Life is an Absurdist Power Fantasy Chapter 9

The eyes of the three snapped to Jack at the same time, the smallest of the three hiding further behind the other's robes as the largest stepped forward, walking through the smoking crater towards him, her sword arm extended to her side at the ready .

Jack kept waving and calling out for several more seconds until the largest woman got close enough for Jack to get a better look at her . Her skin was definitely as red up close as it was at a distance . Her face was turned up into a bit of a snarl, but was still very feminine and well-proportioned, with large yellow eyes, a slight nose, and high cheekbones . In spite of her grim appear and strange skin tone, he immediately found her insanely attractive . And even in spite of her armor, it wasn't hard for him to spot the presence of a very shapely body . Once she got close enough he felt he could bother trying to talk to her, he smiled and waved up .

"Hi! Hello! I'm glad you're here! I was sure they were going to carry me off and eat me!", he said .

"Shut up", the woman said bluntly as she drew up in front of him and looked down at him . Compared to his tiny miniaturized form, she was absolutely massive . She pointed the blade of her sword down at him . "Who are you?"

"I'm, uhh, I'm Jack . Nice to meet you . . . ?" He said, smiling awkwardly up at her as he found his will to keep talking vanish .

"You're human . Why are you so tiny?" She asked .

"Bit of an accident, really . . . I tried to make myself larger, and apparently said the wrong spell word or something", Jack said, sheepishly . "I'm still trying to figure out this whole magic thing . Frumpkin didn't really explain how it works . "

Before he could say any more, the red skinned woman turned and whistled in the direction of the other two, and called out to them as she waved them over . "Eleanor, Madeleine, I found him . He's just managed to shrink himself . Come on over and give me a hand . "

She turned towards him and sheathed her sword, and extended her hand out to him palm up, as if signalling for him to climb up into it .

"Sorry about that . We were told a great human warrior was coming and that we were supposed to meet him on the path . I just didn't expect that warrior to be a tiny goblin hostage . "

"Wait, Frumpkin told you I was coming . . . ?" Jack said, looking up at her with confusion .

She looked back at him, equally confused, and pulled her hand back slightly .

"Of course he did . He's God . That's what he does . "

Jack was about to reply with even more confusion when the other two walked up, still in the same configuration they had been standing in earlier . The blue skinned girl, who appeared to him to be in her late teens or early twenties had a rounder, heart-shaped face that seemed to sit in some sort of soft, natural smile . He could see now that she had small nub like horns protruding outwards from the sides of her forehead, and apparently also a thin tail, which he could see flicking gently back and forth behind her robes . She was a little thicker than the red-skinned woman, but in the best possible way . Jack tried not to stare at her blatantly visible, and definitely not minimal, cleavage .

"Oooh, he's so tiny! How cute!" She said, giggling a little behind her hand .

"He used a Minimize spell by accident, and doesn't know how to undo it," The red-skinned woman said .

"Oh, I'll fix that!" The blue skinned one beamed . She traced a few shapes in the air with her left hand, leaving faint sparkling trails that remained suspended in the air . She then reached into a pouch on her side, pulled out a couple buttons and a feather, and tossed them into the floating symbol with a flourish and more words in the hair-raising language .

Without a moment's delay, and a popping sound that reminded him of a champagne cork, Jack was back to his normal size .

"Hey! Thanks!", he said .

"Don't mention it," the red-skinned one said, reaching out her hand to help him up . "Now, let's get you on your feet . "
