Monster Girl Ranching in Another World

I could feel myself being lifted off the ground by soft hands, and I barely had the strength to stand on my own. My body had that particular kind of muscle pain reserved for the day after an intense leg day, but this was on every inch of my body.

It was like my muscles had all been torn apart, and I could feel them painfully healing back, but it was like I was feeling dry. I was finally starting to get my vision back; I had to close my eyes the entire time Grogvel laughed; the vibrations made it too hard to look at anything.

"You can stand, good man. You didn't piss yourself, and there was no way you were going to keep your lunch down. Still, I didn't think that you would even be able to talk after that!" Grogvel said, and I cringed, thinking that he was going to get me with another round of laughter.

Nothing came, and I let out the breath I had been holding, standing up straight. The pain and fatigue were passing now, and I rolled my shoulders as Mary was about to climb up on me, but she reared away from me.

"You ssstink!" Mary hissed at me dangerously. "Fixsss it!"

I turned to her and stared at her blankly, not like Mary could see me, and she crossed her arms, and she waited. I sighed and turned back to Grogvel to ask him where some water might be to rinse off, but he was gone.

When I was dropped to the ground, I wasn't even surprised as my body was chewed up like a rag doll and then spit back out. I was able to catch myself as I was spat out of the ground, and I landed on my feet by the Cerberus girls that jumped back in surprise.

"There, I rubbed the stink of your vomit off you! This will help you recover faster from the vibrations, but this will help you gain some mass. Make sure you eat before you take off! I have a date with a crevice that needs my attention, hehe!" Grogvel said with a slight chuckle, but I was able to handle that now.

"Thanks, Boss, that was a good round, but I'll be back for more tomorrow!" I said, clenching my hand into a fist tightly; this was different.

"Good, bring a good joke so I can have a good laugh," Grogvel said as he melted back into the ground until there was no trace of him left.

This feeling of strength wasn't like before; I felt heavy like if I hit something, it wouldn't stop me. This weight to my muscle was making my body like steel, or that is what I thought until I flexed and squeezed my forearms with my free hand as I did.

My arms didn't feel different; I wasn't cut steel or anything like that, but I was progressing, beautiful. This was what I wanted, but I was getting ravenous all of a sudden, my mind got sidetracked entirely from the thought I was just having, and I turned on Nushi.

I walked directly to Nushi, and she seemed to know what I wanted and pulled out a pie of some sort with a crust on it. She handed it to me, and I was about to tear into the whole thing with my hand poised over it, then my brain killed back in, and I looked at Nushi.

"Would you like some of this?" I asked, probably looking like some kind of savage, but I watched as Nushi covered a smile with her hand and laughed softly at me.

Slowly, I watched her horns rise, but then I dug into the pie. If I kept watching her, Nushi would notice, and it would spoil it.

So, instead, I turned to the girls after thanking her for this friggin Tourtiere of the Gods. Maybe I had to be the main chef for the girl, but damn, Lidy was an excellent cook, and this meat pie was not meant for mortal consumption!

I could smell smoke as I finally scarfed down the pie; I turned to the girls who were… making a fire with a grate over it. Wow, portable barbeque! This was great, but before I could say anything to congratulate Jilly, the Icon that was blinking in the left-hand corner expanded.

What the hell was this about? I was already a level five Rancher; why was I getting a level two alert?

<This is the basic leveling system that you had asked me about in the beginning. This will allow you to slowly progress, but you need to pick a class before you do any more training, or you won't get any stronger. At the current moment, you are as strong as you can become without taking a class.>

Hero! That makes sense, but I will have to think about this, and I need to get cooking for the girls, but thanks. It was always lovely chatting, but I knew he was already gone; when he came, it was like there was a presence, and now it was gone.

"Are you done admiring the empty plate? We are also getting hungry, and you are the one that does the cooking!" Jilly said as she shook a stick at me, and I smiled as I walked over with my metal pie plate; this would make a good bowl.

"Yes, sorry, more new and crazy things happening up here," I said, tapping on my head, and then Jilly gave me a pitiful look and then handed me the bag of meat, her explosion going flat on me.

"I am hungry; get cooking, chop-chop!" Jilly said to me, waving her arms as I started to throw the meat on the grill.

"Yes, my Queen, right away, I am on it," I said as Jilly moved behind me and came close to me to do something, but whatever she was going to do never happened.

"BACKSSS, he is minesss, Aunty!" Mary hissed threateningly at Jilly as she came and wrapped herself around me tightly, very tightly.
