Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

Chapter 242 - Nightmares, Negative Dimension

As I got closer to the Keep, I could see lights in some of the apartment building's windows. I decided to go take a look to see who was doing what.

It was just a little bit of espionage on my lovers to see if they were doing anything cute or to try and catch them acting out of character. I could see that there were many women around a large fire behind the stone Keep, but no one had noticed me yet.

"What are you doing? I thought we were going to the back where the fire is?" Beeno asked, and I grinned.

"I want to do a bit of spying first. It's tough to catch you, women, out of your elements, and I am always curious about what makes each of you tick," I explained as I floated to the highest window on the east side of the building.

This would be Mex's room, so this wasn't really spying, just checking up on him.

"You really care about that stuff? While I disapprove of your methods, it's nice to know that you do make an effort," Beeno said as I got closer to Mex's window, but then started to frown, and she asked, "What's wrong?"

Mex was not in the room, nor was this Mex's room from when I glanced in it previously. That alone could be brushed off as one of Kimera's Spacial Magic abilities, but there was a female sitting on the far side of the room.

She was in a rocking chair, and she was knitting something, but her head was down. I couldn't get a look at her face because her hair was covering it, so I decided to try knocking on the window.

I stopped right before my hand touched the glass pane, my wrist being grabbed by Beeno, but simultaneously, terror gripped me. It was an icy hand that gripped me by the spine, and I was frozen stiff.

[Get back from that window! I was watching the ERTCG, and that is a creature from your nightmares!]

Too late, the woman looked up at me, but she had no eyes, only mouths in place of them. They were filled with sharp-looking teeth, but I could tell that the creature was staring at me.

Then the mouths started to stretch out of her face impossibly, twisting and weaving closer to me. Each mouth opened and closed, and I knew they were coming to devour me, and I was powerless to stop them.

"Zack!" A distant voice cried out, but I was powerless under the gaze of the terror that was coming to devour me.

Then I was falling, and everything went black, and I opened my eyes with a massive groan as I gained control of my body once again. I could feel cracked and broken ribs, but I couldn't feel my legs, but that was slowly coming back.

"Are you okay?!" Asked a tall redhead bent over me that looked familiar, but my head was still a mess, and the pain wasn't helping.

[Just relax, and let your body heal. None of the damage caused by the five-story drop is serious other than the spinal cord, but it is healing. Give it about five minutes before getting up, or you will do more damage.]

I panicked but calmed as I saw Beeno leaning over me with the other women. I was worried that she might have gotten hurt as well, but she must have been about to land safely, thankfully.

[She tried to jump to the wall and bounce off it to catch you but missed. I suggest you tell her and the rest that you are fine now.]

Beeno and the rest of the women did have worried expressions, so I spoke up.

"Yeah, I just need to lay here for a few more minutes. That really took it out of me, but what happened?" I asked in a groan, still not moving any part of my body other than my lips, but breathing more air sent more sharp pains.

"You were looking in the window, but it was fogged over, and then you froze and started to tremble. You started to pour sweat, and then I tried calling, but you only shook worse. I screamed your name, but then that was when you started falling…." Beeno said with her voice choked off, and she looked away from me.

[You were looking into the Negative Dimension, and all Demons Magic are linked to it. I don't know what will happen to their Magic after your memories are born.]

'What about Mex? He is the only person that has transformed, so can't you tell with him?'

[Mex isn't really a good example, as most male demons don't have special Magic's, rather abilities outside of their class. Only when Mex retrieves his sword does he touch the Negative Dimension.]

My body was starting to feel better, and I slowly sat up; the girls backed up and gave me some room. I was still sore, but my body was still working, and I was just happy to have use of my legs again.

I tried to stand up, but it seemed that my legs weren't ready for that, and the redhead caught me in her arms. Then I started to notice the golden claws that seemed to clasp her body under the red revealing long sundress she was wearing.

"Jilly?" I asked as she helped me stand.

Instead of responding, Jilly pulled me into a deep and passionate kiss that left no room for doubt in my mind.

I took Jilly in my arms, and I could feel that she still had carapace plating on her back and her golden legs clasped her breasts and body. I was very excited to finally enjoy the first women I had met in this world, but that would be after.

"Thank you for this. I was actually going to ask if you could do something like this, but on our way back to the Keep, a bunch of us transformed. There are one or two other people that you might want to include as well," Jilly said and then turned her head.

I followed her gaze, and It landed on Mex and Candace.
