The next morning Dennis was woken up by a newspaper that had a photo of a photo of her and Zilch kissing shoved to her face " What ? You want a kiss ? " Satin cuts out Zilch and puts their face through the hole .
" You wanted to be in Zilch's place ? " Satin threw the paper and nodded " Sorry , I should've taken a photo of you , but you had that fang sticking out . Has that healed "
Satin nodded and then pouted " I'm really sorry about that , I did think it was beautiful , but I don't want to hurt you more as a result " " Love me " Dennis wondered if Satin didn't want the complicated talk , as the scent in the air was changing , trying to charm Dennis .
' I think what that video said about envy being biological was right because Satin is clearly feeling it . ' Dennis embraced Satin and squeezed them really tight to satisfy their body's desire .
' I know how to handle Zilch , but Satin has a more bodily language of love ' Dennis thought it could be as simple as providing food , but it felt so low effort considering how much she is actually earning .
" Now that I think about it , it would be nice to see the looks on their faces when they learn how much I actually own " Satin crawled atop Dennis and asked " Who they ? "
Dennis was surprised by how expressive Satin was of their emotions and said " The Titans , I've grown to be attached to them all and Review is showing that there are some small deviations , but so far not a lot to cause immense bias towards one tribe "
Satin then produced pictures and letters of the marriage proposal from their mouth , which Dennis reasoned as another one of the strange abilities they possessed " What ? " Satin points at the proposals and specifically at the section that revealed the benefits of the marriage .
" You want me to have children with others ? Then why'd you carve out Zilch " then came a game of charades where Satin took the newspaper and the marriage proposals and drew a line .
" They're not related to each other ? " Satin nodded and pointed at the marriage proposal . They then proceeded to choke out an egg that covers their whole mouth and points at the proposals again and then at the text that shows the benefits of these marriages .
" So you want me to make babies with them ? " Satin chops the egg , which sends the wrong message " You want to eat babies ? " Satin shook their head and repeated the action and crossed their arm .
" Then why do you want me to have babies with them " Satin blushed and generated a photo of the children Dennis already has inside and then at Zilch " You want to be the one to raise them ? "
Satin nodded " Oh I should've included you when me and Zilch were raising the clone children " Satin then froze , thinking about the noise they had heard while blindly resting while latching onto Dennis .
They grabbed a pillow and began expressing their fury by hitting Dennis while their body was weakened by sorrow " Ow okay , I get it . When I have children , you can come and help "
Satin grew larger and said " Mate now " Dennis wondered if this was even the right way to date Satin , because it just seemed like it was supposed to be a way of life .
" Children will be strong and very different " Satin then begins showing the genetics they were planning to use , while Dennis then asked " Why are you in a hurry to have kids ? "
Satin stops growing and then begins to shrink ' So there is a reason ' " Jealous " Satin's tail grips the cut out of Zilch and Dennis wonders about their relationship .
" My relationship with Zilch is more developed than yours " " Unfair " " Okay I should've done something together with you too " Dennis tries to think of how she can improve their relationship , but seeing as Satin seems to communicate with their body only , Dennis had to think of another way of communicating .
" Let's fight then . " Satin was surprised to hear that kind of proposal . Dennis prepared by setting up an arena and ensuring she had backup plans in case she lost focus on her assignment .
Satin entered the arena and marveled at the unique forest with cold and freezing air , pockets of ice and geysers with a lava in the deeper ground " How'd you like that ? " Dennis asked , still connected to the foreign friends of the Titans .
But with Satin's more augmented vision , they could see those Strings attached to her head like hair extensions dyed with colorful thoughts that show how much she thought she gave into maintaining each foreign friend's personality and background .
" Pretty " Dennis thought that Satin might be seeing the Strings and explained " I know , I mostly just created some Expressions that I could control instead of clones . The bad part about this is that when they eat food , they need to send it over to me to process "
" Hair is pretty " " Thanks again , It's hard to tell ... So wanna start fighting or do you want to play a different game ? " Satin nodded and pointed at Dennis " Predator " and then pointed at themselves " Prey "
" Huh ? " Satin dashed away and Dennis wondered about how she was going to catch them when they can see the Strings that could alert them ' Actually , do I even have to move my body ? ' Dennis stretches her consciousness to that of the forest as Satin perched on a branch , seeing the Strands of hair close but unresponsive .
Satin playfully perches upside down like a bat and remains vigilant until their senses scream warnings everywhere " Satin releases their talons as the branch flings upward .
" Come on , dear , you can do better " Satin looks down at the Strings and flaps their wings to get the higher ground . Branches and vines then began to move to restrain Satin as they dodged slashes and curling vines until they stepped onto one and felt it curl around their talon .
Satin unhinges their jaws , revealing their strange mouth , which normally has two lips covering it , but Satin had four . They breathed fire into the leg that was caught , freeing themselves and heard Dennis say " That's so cute "
Satin blushes and looks down as rocks with lava underneath shot to the sky . They dodged them and found a big one flying up and landed on it to avoid the smaller ones .
Their sense continued alerting them to the danger on the rock , which they assumed was the growing heat , but they simply chose to adapt to it as their body grows more and more heat resistant .
But that feeling of danger was still around , so Satin was confused as to what Dennis had put in the rock and looked up to see seeds surviving the intensifying heat that propelled the rocks up .
Satin flexed their claws and blade tail as vines sprouted out of the heat-resistant seed . They hacked and slashed the vines as the fluff on the vines grip their fluff .
They ignored them and continued to hack and slash them and digest the poison that was on the vines , ignoring the minor danger signals they were getting from the fallen-out vines .
As soon as Satin dealt with the vines that sprouted from the seeds , they lowered their guard because the only danger was around them . As soon as they checked on the chopped-up vines to shake them away , they realized they were wrapped by loose vines which tightened around them when Satin focused on them .
" Gotcha " Satin struggled but felt their muscles grow soft as the vines secreted muscle relaxants while tightening their grip around them . They looked up , sensing Dennis's gaze make eye contact as they blushed , accepting their defeat .
Dennis caught Satin and gave them a kiss " I win dear " Satin squealed as the arena was reset and Dennis untangled Satin but noticed that they had stopped trying to digest the numbing poison .
" You should digest that poison " " No " " Why ? " " Me hunted , Huntress takes me as price " Satin said in a sultry voice and Dennis begins to question what Satin wants " Chop em and eat me up "
Now Dennis was really confused and wondered why Satin seemed to want that to happen " But you'll die " " Leave half of me out like a hunting trophy " Dennis could feel the increasing desire but wondered why it was so linked to dying .
' Is this because of their connection to the dead animals ? ' Dennis began to study this emotion while doing her work and found that Satin was enjoying even this diagnosis .
' Why do they have so many preferences that they like ? ' " Sorry I'm gonna need you to stay still " Satin blushed as they said " Okay " however , their voice was stained with a charmed background towards Dennis .
Dennis pulled herself out of the confusion and began Reviewing Satin's condition . A very interconnected web appeared before her , showing Satin connected to many living people and dead ones too .
" Woah " she was fascinated by what she found " This is amazing , you're not a hivemind , but you're connected to a lot of people . " Dennis wondered what kind of thing this thing was because she had no way of understanding it .
At first , Satin acted according to instincts displayed by the genetics of insects , but then it moved further to animal DNA as Dennis's effort stretched their association further . Then to the dead and now it seems like it's reaching the living people .
' It seems like Satin is taking advantage of this connection to learn things . And preferences too ' " So that explains this , but this attraction to being hunted and eaten while displayed as a trophy is a mix of emotions from those who were hunted and eaten and their personal emotions "
Dennis couldn't believe that Satin was a bigger freak than she was ' Damn that is weird ' she finishes the study and looks at Satin , who was very interested in and still charmed by her .
" Okay , so that should be it " " Predator and prey " Satin said and immediately disappeared while Dennis wondered how much she was gonna have to communicate in this more physical expression of love .
...
By night , Satin was gasping for air for the prolonged game of tag where they gave it their all , while Dennis had to focus solely on their game more often than she wanted to , but she was able to use those sudden mind blackouts on the foreign friend as a factor to increase the Titan's curiosity .
' But it's gonna be a very awkward explanation later on , the foreign friend is something imaginary and real . ' Dennis thought of the future headache that was going to come and decided to solve it with words like "It's too complicated and you need the right education for it" and maybe open up a school with Architecture to teach them .
" Master , Warm " Satin snuggles underneath her chest and she thought about the beauty standards of each Titan tribes ' No I should avoid thinking about that '
She recalls why her mom wants her to have a date just to keep her grounded and recalls her speed of growth " Now that I think about it , I have changed too much . "
She begins to reflect on how much she was actually growing just to achieve the impossible dreams she had as a child , like a perfect cycle or a continuous generative resource .
' Eldritch beings are truly powerful to defy the laws of physics , but I feel like they aren't just making things out of nothing but creatively bypassing it , like creating another dimension '
She imagines layers of napkins as 2-dimensional planes that form into a cube as she duplicates the blankets without any gifts ' I don't sense any increase in eldritch presence , which means that I'm relying entirely on my own knowledge and experience in this act of creation '
Dennis wonders about the eldritch beings and then focuses back on her as she thinks of how inhuman she was becoming and compares herself to a modern scientist showing a caveman how to make a nuclear bomb .
' Yeah , that sounds about right , it's a good comparison , but as for the scale I'm not so sure ' she checks the gift Math that she associated with a few interactions between the gifts she has gained that allows her to use it to numerize the Attributes properly .
' Percentage and Decimals is not showing any traces of the eldritch being , so I can be more certain , but these unorthodox methods are not really something I can trust , especially if it's only tested on one person '
She wanted to use it on the other gift holders , but she hasn't tested it yet because of how disgusted she was of the eldritch presence they emit as they rely more on their gifts .
' I'm starting to think of more analogies for these things , is there like a research article or some professor that says making analogies is good for the brain because it increases interconnectivity between fields of knowledge ? '
But she had to focus more on what she was experiencing , which is the fact that she is becoming less and less like a human . For years she had thought that she could grow so much that people would think she has a half-elf .
So there was an unspoken promise she had made to herself , which was to preserve her body to look or stay human at the very least . And she has been perfectly reverting her body to a human every time she transforms , like when she fought Filter as Saver always has a Saved copy of what her body is exactly like .
She begins thinking about how much she has changed and then looks back as she imagines how far back everyone actually is and how ahead she was , while the people ahead of her are few and very hard to see .
But one very clear thing was the eldritch abominations that she had witnessed much ahead in this lane . One indirectly gazed at , another directly and one more that left curiosities that Dennis answered .
' I'm really ahead of everyone else ' Dennis recalls the stories of long-living ancestors that were in the other worlds with great power but no equals until they formed some community which has achieved a great following on the internet .
' They're the only ones that can actually fit my preferences normally ' Dennis then looks at Satin and thought ' But I guess having someone as young or younger is great and all , but I feel awful about it until I remember that I'm not dating just a normal person '
She wanted to throw that train of thought away and told Satin " How about we do that tonight "
...
The next morning , Dennis wakes up with Satin's overgrown form atop her ' I want to sneeze ' she teleports out and gets ready for the day while submitting reports again and receives a message from her mom and it showed more marriage proposals from the ancestor community that she had thought of last night .
' I'm seriously jinxing myself ' Dennis thought and looked at the pictures of the ancestors that now wanted her hand in marriage while her mother comments on what she likes about each of them , saying she would love to have them as a guest and as an in-law .
' I already Zilch , but I guess Mom wants more . Make sense , Zilch hardly has a personality to express and Satin's way of expressing themselves is very complex language . So I'd understand why she wants me to have another partner '
Dennis then thinks of the ancestors that she imagined would be ahead of her but then was excited about the possibility that she would be ahead of them soon .
' I may have been cheating sometimes , but I sure can keep up with them if I want to . Plus I'm really working a lot ... No better not to be too confident on it . But Mom and grandma really want to have a bigger family '
Dennis recalls how they really wanted her to have grandchildren , but now it seems like they wanted her to bring more in-laws that they can treat like a family .
' It's just like how I wanted other cousins ... our family sure is starved for having more members , even my kids are not satisfying that desire ' Dennis decides to ask if her family wants to take care of her Titan kids because it felt like that was the case .
"Of course , bring them , send them to us" so now Dennis was alone after giving Satin the job to handle the kids , as they took advantage of that web they are in to gather child-rearing experience and managed the children as they went back to Dennis's family's home .
' I would worry about my family , but they are the most active people I know . It's why they have a lot of friends just to keep up with their activities ' Dennis continues her work while focusing on the rise of the factors that would make bringing them to her world web much smoother .
' I should start bringing them to each other to solidify their identity ' Dennis wonders how this can come up in a conversation and thinks of the confessions that continue to grow more frequent to the point that she was the main attraction for most of the single Titans .
' I feel really bad for having to reject their confessions ' Dennis didn't really want it but noticed the growing curiosity factor and thought that maybe she could push them to go further from their settlement .
' It should be possible ' Dennis runs a preview , imagining how the scenario would go for each contact with each other ' but the underground settlements will have more difficulty , but maybe it's possible for me to dig a small chamber '
" But I should do the same for the others and then I can hint at the other titan population of a much bigger family . It won't be fake since it's very real . I had kids on my own and the friends they have been with were those kids and now they're expressions "
Dennis repeats those words and comments on it " Now that I said it myself , it does sound a lot to digest and I skipped a lot of details " Dennis still went with her plan and began setting up some houses between the tribes she plans to make contact with .
' Alright , let's start bringing them together ' Dennis then proceeds to spend thirty days working on this project of bringing one settlement with another . And by the end of that month long work , Dennis felt great joy seeing her bank account another time today after finishing up breakfast .
' I'M RICH ' she screams in her mind while also checking on her messages of some promising marriage candidates ' And I have another problem to deal with after this '
She can imagine how much those two were actually enjoying sending the replies to these people while also building the house to be much bigger for her increasing amount of children ' And then there's Hazel '
" Hey Dennis , got time to talk ? " Willow asked " Sure , what is it about ? " " About my confession about you " " Love ? " " Yeah , I catch some feelings here and there and I do get bored and think of what could be my life with you " Willow said casually .
" Same " " Wow , really ? " " Yeah , but you know it's boring , like what you think it's exciting at first , but when I look into the future it becomes a bit more and more lax and disconnected " Dennis said " Wow , straight to the point ... But I do feel the same . I would reset the relationship continuously when I fantasize about being married "
" Oh , so which one is your preferred type of husband " " I tried imagining a very caring and traditional husband , but hearing what your mom said about her marriage , I think I should aim higher because I really don't want to just sit around and do housework " Willow said .
" Oh , that's great " " But seriously , you chose to date both Zilch and Satin ? " " Is it that bad ? " " Not really , but the watchers who are keeping an eye on the gift association and those with a lot of gifts were saying they are dangerous because of their past involvements with a crime world web "
There was a long pause between them and Dennis asked " And ? " " Sorry , brother says it's confidential , but I want you to know you are very safe from them " Dennis nodded and gave her the report .
" Wow , you really did all this in a month ? " " Yep , I got everyone trading with each other , they got really good at learning thanks to my help . They even want to have kids with each other but are worried about what would happen next , but at the very least I got rid of some of those who confessed to me "
" I heard your kids look like those Titans " " Cause they were , all of my kids were clones of me . I had them because I was morally wrong about using Life like that . Anyways , go bring the report . I've given everyone enough grace period with each other so that I can eventually introduce myself , but I'm wondering how to spread that news "
" Are you asking me for ideas ? " " Yeah " " I don't want to be a part of this , you can have all the credits " Willow said and left , taking the report with her , while Dennis had to deal with exposing the Titans to her world web .
' It's already a good achievement for me now that I was able to bring them altogether with my Expressions acting as their friend , so I should try to solidify their culture now , but I've been doing that a lot by introducing them to each other '
Dennis thought of the offers in integrating other worlds that were drifting through space ' Man , it feels great to be popular , but then there is that thing about journalists looking for a scoop '
She thinks of the news links that Hazel kept sending about Zilch because it seemed like a lot of people are curious about what it's like to date a collective of clones merged into one body .
The media was also wondering where they were , but with all the attention Savers Dennis gave them , it was keeping them from getting caught in the drama of this media content farm .
' My family hasn't gotten involved thanks to Deks and Saver . ' she checks an Expression of herself that she stationed in the house and recalls how often Yeld uses it because of their limited ability to create .
' I've been giving them access to more knowledge in creating stuff that they envisioned a factory where everything was automated . It's a very interesting idea , but the problem is if they want to test it , they will have to start using the natural resources unless I just that tesseract '
Dennis thought of her source of infinite food that she had made and was reminded of how far ahead she actually is ' Since Willow said I was safe from these watchers , maybe that means that these powers are mine completely '
She felt glad that her Sourceless project was actually producing a lot of fruits now that she was deemed as safe by the watchers , assuming that they watch out for any chances of reconnecting .
' No , I can't be so sure that's the case , but the fact that I have a lot of Sourceless projects that I already completed , like Magic sources , the gifts . And there's also the fact that I was no longer receiving any Filler every time I try to be too creative without backing it with any knowledge '
She tested out Definitions' other abilities like Synonyms and Homonyms but didn't get any new gifts through the eldritch connection that she assumes to have existed .
' It's disappointing that I can no longer use this to get gifts , but since Merger's gift business is always getting new gifts everyday . I don't have to worry about that too much . '
Dennis then thought about the other power systems that she has yet to include , like Vis and Field ' There are probably a lot of other power systems , unlike the magic power system , which seems to be the norm in our world web . But I'm sure I can produce any of these two others with enough research '
She begins imagining a few ridiculous power systems but sensible ones like Popularity , Literature , Will , Talent , Money or Leveling ' Oh , spending so much time with these gifts that demand creativity for growth has really changed me '
She recalls the old slice of life shows in her grandma's time that lose relevance because the content didn't match with the vastly different world today " Wait , I was thinking about something else completely ... How did my mind wander to this part ? "
Dennis shook her self-talking session and focused on the plan that she had made up , which required her to mix all the Titan genetics to make a fusion of all of them to give each of them some form of representation .
" Woah " she looks at the Preview of a massive beast that had all of the genetics combined ' I'll need this to be visible to everyone , but the problem is how '
Dennis needed to figure out a way to show of this massive form while telling the titans that they are a part of this Titan too . She thinks of possibly spreading a scent , but some Titans don't have that kind of thing and that's when the problem becomes much bigger when every Titan doesn't have the same senses .
" Wait , I could just use something else instead " she recalls the suffocating feeling of being inside a room full of those with eldritch presence and sends an Expression of herself to rent a gift ' Now I just have to understand the source of it and figure out how to create a gift to Broadcast the feeling '19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlCOEHdjg6
