500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

"I would like to apologize for Kalli," A cat-folk I was certain was Nyala said as I dusted myself off.

She was in the group of three still outside, and the three of them were smoking something. I recognized the smell, Bacco leaves, or something like it; they gave you a slight buzz, but tended to be addictive.

"I deserved it, kind of. Still, that is one helluva woman! I will assume that you are this ones mother?" I asked, gesturing behind me with my thumb, pointing to Chili.

"Yes, this little troublemaker is my child. I hope she isn\'t causing you any trouble. My name is Nyala, and my daughter and I are Nekomora," Nyala explained, but I frowned.

Nyala was mostly human, with a thin tan furred tail and ears with sandy brown hair. I wondered if there were more breeds of Cat Folk?

"Nekomora? Does that mean there are other breeds? Can I have one of those Bacco Sticks?" I asked, craving a bit of zip from the smell of Nyala\'s and the others.

"Sure, but let\'s go sit out on the patio, and get some drinks, and I can explain. We can\'t smoke inside, but there is a large place on top of the roof. It is a great place to sit and drink since we can see the entire city. Makes a great place to watch the sun go down," Nyala explained as the other two women came over.

The first was what I assumed to be a Dog Folk from her floppy ears. She also had a reddish- brown tail curved up from a slit in the back of her thigh high blue skirt.

She had reddish- brown fur with white spots that cover from her elbows and knees. She had cute paw-like hands that only had four digits, but they looked very soft.

The other woman had blue-ish green skin, and small tusks protruding from her mouth. Her red hair was done in a single braid, and her hair was shaved smooth on the sides.

"This is Penny, a Red Healer," Nyala said, gesturing to the Dog Folk, then to what I assumed was an Orc, "This is O\'lee, an Orc of the Riverwater Tribe."

I shook the Orcs hand first, and I got a powerful grip that I returned, and got a big smile.

"Good hand. Firm grip. I would like to bed you." O\'lee told me, and I nodded.

"The feeling is mutual. I bet you like it rough," I said quietly, leaning in with a wink that made her cheeks turn purple as she let go of my hand shyly, backing up, but still smiling.

"Oh wow, that is something," Nyala said, looking at O\'lee who looked away.

"Yeah, O\'lee never acts like this! What did you say to her?!" Chili asked, grabbing my arm with her soft hands.

"Nothing special, but that is between us," I said with a grin, looking over to O\'lee who looked like she was about to turn completely purple.

That one was interesting. I had pegged her to be the rough and rowdy type like Kalli, but this one seemed more like the silent type that was a freak in the sheets.

"Umm, It is nice to meet you, umm, yeah," Penny said, turning my attention to her.

I reached out my hand to shake her paw, but Penny was slow to reach forward. When our hands did touch, I had to force myself to remain calm.

"Umm, you have really nice hands, like wow. They are so damn soft! Umm, do you think I can put it up to the side of my face?" I asked, not giving a fuck, but Penny quickly pulled her hand back.

"...Maybe later. I am sorry! You are really good looking and I get really nervous when I am not fighting!" Penny exclaimed, and then hid behind Nyala.

"Well, that was expected. I am surprised you got her to shake a paw for you. Red Healers are mostly shy creatures, but are extremely loyal. You might want to be careful with this one, but from what I can see, it\'s already too late!" Nyala laughed.

"Miss Nyala! Don\'t talk like that! I only just met them!" Penny cried from behind the Catwoman.

"Sure, and how many other people have you let shake your paw? Hmmm?" Nyala asked, looking back at the cowering Penny, but she burst into tears, and ran inside.

"That wasn\'t very nice," Eliza said, but Nyala shrugged.

"Penny is a good girl, but overly shy; much worse than most Red Healers. She may act like this now, but I promise you by the end of the night she will be singing a different tune," Nyala explained to Eliza, then looked at me. "You had better treat her nicely, or everyone of the women will be one you, and not in a good way. Penny is like all of our children, even though she is older than most of us."

"Oh? Really? I thought she looked pretty young," I said, but Nyala shook her head with a smile.

"Come, you can ask her later. Let\'s go get some drinks, and then we can talk more. The girls are going to start coming out here looking for us soon since Kalli would have told them," Nyala said as she turned to head inside.

I nodded, and the five of us went inside with Eliza and Chili hanging on to each one of my arms.

The inside of the bar was packed with women of all shapes and sizes. There were too many different races and breeds for me to even start to describe.

Walking in, the bar counter rang along the right side of the bar, and on the left was all tables and booths. The building had three floors, but you could see the bottom of the third from the first; each floor was staggered to the left or right.

"Come, there is another place to get drinks on the third floor," Nyala waved from the far end of the bar, already walking up the stairs.
