Chapter 103 – All Eyes on Me
My heart fluttered in my chest as I stepped out onto the stage. Even though only a dozen or so potential clients were situated around the main floor, I could feel all of their eyes fall on me. Back on Earth, I had never been one for public speaking or other such activities, so performing like this in front of a crowd, even one as small as this one, was not something I was at all used to.
To say I was nervous was an understatement. I hadn’t been so nervous as that since being reincarnated, not even when being interviewed by Sophia. Sure, my new body did a hell of a lot for my self-confidence, and there had been situations in the past that caused butterflies in my belly, but never quite like this. Compared to everything I've been through these past few days, this was on a whole other level. Not including that time when Vel and I ran for our lives through the forest of course, but that was a whole different type of nervousness.
Still, I pushed down my growing nervousness and began to move my body, swaying and shaking my womanly curves in time with some music emanating from a nifty little magical device by the side of the stage. As I started to dance, I felt the instinctive knowledge of my erotic dancing general skill start to kick in. Yet as weak as the skill was at rank 1, I focused my full attention on every little bit of advice and feedback it gave me as a way to distract myself from the nervousness in the pit of my stomach.
Thanks to this, I soon found myself fully getting into the swing of things. By the time my sheer shawl and nipple pasties had been completely removed, revealing my ample tits in full for everyone on the main floor to see, none of my nervous energy remain. Instead, I was fully savouring the gaze of every last set of eyes looking at me and delighted in the perverted glee it brought me. As it turned out, I was enjoying being up there a whole lot more than I could have ever expected. My worries had been for nothing.
Remembering Sophia’s advice earlier that day, I called upon more and more of my skills to aid me in my endeavour. That said though, using skills in tandem like Sophia suggested I do was different from what I had been doing previously. Before I had been subconsciously letting skills go before using others, only sometimes letting there be a bit of an overlap. What I needed to do now was split my focus, using as many skills as possible at the same time. Something that actually came quite easy to me thanks to my current overly horny state which made the lewd nature of my task all the easier.
My seduction skill helped me move my body in the most teasing and tantalising way. Sensual massage helped guide my hands across my own body, not only bringing myself much pleasure but doing so in the most visually appealing way. My deception skill was a little harder to use, but once I got it in my head that I was trying to act like I was the world’s most confident and sexual woman, it assisted my efforts somewhat, if not as much as it probably should have.
However, those skills were only the beginning, they were only my general skills. I, of course, had a handful of class skills that were of great help to me. Fascinate was the most useful in theory, able to focus the attention of a few onlookers solely on me, but given its five-minute-long cooldown, I only managed to get it off once or twice. In practical use, though, sense gaze was actually the class skill that helped me the most. Physically feeling the dozen or so eyes all over me made me more and more aroused the longer I danced, driving my effort and pleasure to higher levels. Of use, but not as great as those two previous skills, was conjure sex toys and stimulate, which I could both use on myself to create a scene that the crowd had never witnessed before.
By the time my erotic dance was winding down and I was cumming hard on the conjured dildo I had thoroughly fucked myself with during my performance, more than a few of the crowd were staring at me slack-jawed, practically drooling. After collecting my discarded clothing, I blew the crowd a kiss and made my departure, but not before letting them see me spank my ass one last time on the way out, giving them something extra to remember me by.
Returning to the backstage area, I found Arriana waiting for me, staring at me with a mixed look of arousal, bewilderment, and amazement. "Are you sure you didn’t have the erotic dancing general skill before today? That was… That was quite something, Evelyn. Nothing at all like when I was teaching you. It was like you were a completely different person up there."
"What can I say? I had a good teacher." I laughed as I started to get dressed once more. However, the wetness and sensitivity of my pussy did not escape me. After getting myself off in front of so many eyes, I did not think my pussy had ever been this wet before, and given how easy it was for me to get aroused, that was saying a lot.
"That was not my doing…" The red-haired woman shook her head adamantly. "That little lesson I put you through was really only enough for someone to unlock the general skill, not perform at that level right from rank 1. Where are you using other skills in tandem with it? That’s not an easy thing to do, especially at tier 1. The concentration required to focus on so many different things simultaneously can be rather challenging."
"Oh, yeah, I was using skills in tandem. Sop- The mistress has been helping me train a few things during our carriage rides to and from work. That was one of the things she mentioned this morning, so I’ve been trying to put it into practice whenever I have the opportunity." I replied rather casually as finished getting dressed, something that was relatively quick to do given how little clothing being dressed here at the Red Den involved. "I think I managed to use eight skills in tandem while dancing. I didn’t really mean to, but I just got so into dancing, feeling all their perverted gazes on me, that I got a bit carried away."
"Eight skills! And you weren’t meaning to use that many in tandem!" Arriana practically shouted, drawing a few strange looks from the other workers back here. After realising how loud she just was the red-haired woman calmed herself and continued on at a more reasonable level.
"I assume, given your recent awakening, that you don’t know this Eveyln, but using eight skills in tandem is insane. One or two are relatively normal, while four or five are considered a hefty challenge for anyone but once-in-a-generation geniuses. Eight… I’ve never heard of someone using eight before... Damn, your skills must have seen considerable growth up there. Especially erotic dancing since it was only at rank 1."
"Oh, skills ranks! I completely forgot about them. I’m going to quickly check how many skill rank that just earned me." I said, warning the other woman so I wouldn’t seem rude when I suddenly started staring off at something she couldn’t see.
Conjure Sex has reached rank 8
Sense Gaze has reached rank 9
Deception has reached rank 8
Erotic Dancing has reached rank 6 (1)
Seduction has reached rank 11 (9)
"Oh, wow! My skills ranked up 10 times. Erotic dancing is now at rank 6." I exclaimed aloud, completely and utterly taken aback by this sudden inpouring of ranks.
“Some people just have all the luck.” Arriana just sighed and shook her head.
Given that I had only been up on the stage for a dozen or so minutes, this was probably the most skill ranks that I had ever gotten in such a short amount of time. A fact that only further cemented what Sophia had told me earlier: that learning to use skills in tandem was the key to getting more skill ranks once they began to slow down. However, she only meant that in reference to skills past their rank 15 bottleneck, not these low-rank skills. When using that technique at this low rank, the growth seemed rather explosive.
If not for something Arriana just mentioned in passing, my latest bit of explosive growth would have begged the question: Why doesn’t everyone practise using as many skills in tandem as possible? But from what she said, it seems like not everyone can do it as easily as I did, and using eight at once was mind-boggling to her. This of course begged a new question: Why did it come so easily for me?
I couldn’t just have been because I was so damned horny up there that I got a bit carried away, could it?
I was just about to ask Arriana some of the questions I had on this matter when we were interrupted by Cassidy. The dark-skinned woman had just come in from the main floor, where she laid eyes on my performance along with all the clientele and more than a few of my coworkers, and as such, the look on her face was more than a little amazed and aroused as she meekly said. "Umm… Arriana, Evelyn, there are… There are multiple clients requesting Evelyn’s services right now and it's getting a bit out of hand. What should we do?"
"Amazing! This has not happened during the morning shift in quite a while." The red-haired woman chuckled loudly. "It looks like you are going to be a very busy woman today. Not only that, but you get to have your pick of clients. Come, I’ll show you personally how to handle these kinds of situations."
With that said, Arriana, Cassidy, and I soon found our way back out to the main floor, which was not as relaxed as the last time I saw the space, a few minutes ago. Currently, there was no dancer on the stage, and there was a bit of a hubbub going on at the back of the room, by the bar. More than a few of the clients, nearly all of whom witnessed my dancing, were surrounding the poor, overwhelmed workers manning the bar, trying their best to reassure the clients and defuse the situation before anything happened. Of course, a couple of bouncers had moved over to the gathering, not outright saying anything but making their presence known so that nothing out of hand happened.
As soon as the small horde of horny men and women saw me, they all practically rushed over in my direction. However, they were stopped in their tracks by a single, strong, and confident word called out by Arriana. "Patience!"
As the small crowd slowed to a stop a couple of metres away from us three barely dressed women, Arriana waited for them to all quiet down before continuing. "You need to be patient. I understand that you are all interested in hiring the services of the lovely Evelyn here, but you must understand that she is just one woman. Unless you wish to share her, you must all wait your turn."
"I don’t mind sharing her." One voice spoke up, soon followed by more and more in agreement, quickly turning what I assumed was a passing comment on the red-haired woman’s part into a rather perverted suggestion.
"Okay… this isn’t how I was expecting this to go down, but if Evelyn is comfortable with seeing multiple clients at once, then I see nothing wrong with facilitating it. After all, this wouldn’t be the first time such a thing has happened by far." Arriana mused aloud as she turned to look at me, waiting for my say in the matter.
"The more, the merrier." Was all I said in response as I grinned from ear to ear, fully on board with the idea of having clients gangbang me.
"Perfect!" Arriana practically purred with excitement. " Then this is how we will do this. Anyone who wants to take part in this little impromptu event will pay one of our bouncers over there her five-gold fee. Then they and whoever else pays will join Evelyn and one of our bouncers upstairs in one of our larger rooms for the hour, where you will no doubt have quite a bit of fun."
As soon as the woman finished telling the crowd what was going on, they scurried into action, nearly falling over each other in their hurry to pay the bouncers. A lot of coins quickly exchanged hands, and before too long, eight men had paid to share their time with me. There only ones from the crowd that didn’t seem intent on sharing their time with me was a handful of woman, which made sense given that these types of shared activities were easier to facilitate for men than it was for women.
Before leaving with my little crowd of clients both Arriana and Cassidy wished me luck, during which the red-haired woman also reassured me that a bouncer would come with us to watch over everything that happened. Since I would have my hands full dealing with eight men all at once, this was a safety measure that the mistress herself insisted on for all such activities. Not just for my safety either, but to stop the client from fighting amongst themselves as well.
Soon enough, the ten of us—eight clients, one bouncer, and me—were eagerly finding our way through the hallway of private rooms and up a set of stairs to the second floor. As it turned out, Arriana was wrong yesterday when she said I wouldn’t have to concern myself with the second floor for a while. It was only my second day here, and I was already heading up to the area of the establishment reserved for more well-known workers, something that was definitely not going to go unnoticed.
Much like the hallways that led to the private rooms downstairs, the hallways up here on the second floor were rather unassuming. The only reason our little crowd knew where we were going was because of the bouncer, who knew his way around up there and was guiding us to the room that we would be occupying for the next hour.
Said room was much like the ones downstairs, only three times as big, with extra room in the bathroom for more people and a bed able to hold a lot more people on it at once. Once shut inside the room with my eight clients, I didn’t have to worry about setting the clock or signalling that the room was occupied, as that was done for me by the bouncer, who afterwards took up post by the door, where he would watch what was about to happen.
The idea of getting fucked by a room full of men while another man wearing a suit and tie watched from the sidelines was a little strange, but it only served to arouse me even further. I’m sure he was going to act completely and utterly professional but a part of me hoped that he wouldn't, the part of me that was dripping with arousal that was increasing with every passing second. That said, such increases in my arousal were barely noticeable as the anticipation of getting gangbanged by so many men all at once was more than flooding my pussy.
"So…" I pervertedly grinned as my eyes slid across each and every man. "Which one of you is going to fuck my pussy first. But don’t worry about missing out. Whether it's my mouth, my pussy, my ass, or my hands, every single one of you will get a turn fucking each and every part of me."
