A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 14: My Severance Pay, Part II
Winter here wasn’t as bad as it was in New York City (a city I’ve lived in back when I was a student in my Old World), where the sheer volume of the snow could shut down the entire city at its worst. In fact, Carnwennan only snowed for a couple of the coldest days in winter. However, the scarcity of food and firewood still killed a lot of the less fortunate. There was a reason why people in this world measure their age in winters- surviving the winter was not something you could take for granted if you weren't rich. It was the night of the Winter Solstice. The silence of the dark was only occasionally interrupted by the chilling wintry winds and the drunk laughters. In a certain alley of Carnwennan, 3 figures trudged through the shallow snow on their way back home. “You were amazing, Ser Oskar! You must’ve broken his nose with that left hook!” Lackey A exclaimed!“I bet those Bravestorm dogs regret ever picking a fight with you!” Lackey B rejoined.“As long as they quietly learn the
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 15: The Lady of House Galahad
After sunrise, I had breakfast (jerky, dried biscuit, and some pickled vegetables from Mike and Jenai) and got back to work. I test fired Severance Pay for the better part of the morning to get used to the rifle and the sighting. The armor-piercing aspect of the rifle definitely shined through. This thing sliced through Sequoia trees like a hot knife through butter. In addition, the noise suppression worked as well. The discharge was still way too loud to use in the city (remember, unlike the M1911A1, Garands fire supersonic rounds), but in the forest, it should attract way less attention. I did run into a problem- the 7th round jam. For some reason, the 7th round of the clip would jam. After remembering that a similar problem plagued the early iterations of the Garand, I inspected the guide rail and realized that I made a similar mistake- the nub on the guide rail was missing.Well, I never said I was a perfect craftsman. Guess it’s time to go back to the forge-smith.That mistake t
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 15.5: Natalia’s Crisis
A/N: I'd like to introduce a new type of chapter- the 0.5 chapters! These type of chapters were added into my 2nd (and later) draft to slow down the pacing and really develop the non-MC characters. For this chapter, we shall switch the perspective to Natalia! In-universe speaking, since this book was "written and compiled" by Rummy's future harem, it makes too much sense that some of them would add their own chapters.***“My Lady, you can’t possibly believe in this scoundrel, can you?” Skera impulsively exclaimed the moment Adept Rummy left the safehouse. “I certainly believe in his talent. The rest, we shall see.” I calmly responded to her. Good men were hard to come by in these times, talented men even less so. A peasant boy somehow managed to forge a revolutionary weapon capable of ending the Era of Knights. On top of that, he was crafty and decisive enough to instigate a turf war just to obtain the required materials. If he could join our cause, he’d be an extremely valuable a
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 16: The Sequoia Locker Ambush, Part I
A/N:Gonna try out a Monday/Friday regular schedule and see if I can keep up with the planned pace.Spoiler-free map of the Wilds [https://imgur.com/ptX1v4t]***Natalia and her companions seemed to be in some sort of hurry, because I was immediately contacted the day after. Cornelius slipped a piece of paper with instructions on how to sneak into a Galahad Trading Company warehouse in the break of dawn tomorrow and stow away on one of its trade caravan wagons. And that was it. I guess I’d know the rest of the plan when she deemed it necessary. That was perfectly fine with me. If she were thinking of doing something shady, at least she was careful enough to keep it discreet. Besides, she had no reason to trust me with more information than I needed to operate with. After spending most of the day gearing up and getting my R&R, I was ready to roll out. At the break of dawn, I snuck into the warehouse, hid in the designated crate for 30 bloody minutes and waited for the crate to be mov
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 17: The Sequoia Locker Ambush, Part II
I dropped my bow and arrow on the ground and discarded my cloak, revealing Aurelia and Severance Pay. Sigh... what bad fucking luck that these Witches just had to show up on the verge of my biggest score. I had no clue why the hell they were back in the Wild, but either way, they had to die. Emma was visibly disturbed. She knew I wouldn’t show off my secret weapons unless it was urgent (or if I was trying to kill them). “What’s going on, Rummy?” she asked with a slight quiver in her angelic voice. I also noticed that she was subtly reaching for her mana crystals. I stoically replied, “Witches.” as I adjusted the sighting on Severance Pay to 200 meters and released the safety. A look of panic flashed on my clients. I presumed that whatever shady stuff they’re planning, Witches weren’t part of the plan. While they looked at each other nervously, I used > again. It appeared that the Witches were resting in the same area Aurelia died all those years ago. For some reason, all
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 18: Job Interview
The ladies looked tense at my declaration. Emma in particular looked distressed. Between this and her assistance at the last fight, it was clear that she felt something for me. I wasn’t some dense MC dumbed down by plot considerations. For my part, I certainly was attracted to Emma and her striking personality. I really saw her as waifu material. So for my harem’s sake, I really hoped this negotiation didn’t end in bloodshed. “Lady Natalia, what is your goal? Why are you here in the Wilds? And please don’t insult my intelligence by saying you’re prospecting for crystals.” Natalia showed a pensive expression. She was considering how forthcoming she had to be for this negotiation to work. “I want to create a sanctuary where women wouldn’t have to silently cry at night. Fortunately, I’ve had some success thanks to the Galahad Trading Company. But that will not last. I will get matched eventually, and my matched husband would almost certainly take everything from me and toss out my depen
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 19: A City Upon A Hill
We arrived at the Narrows a little later than scheduled. The sun was now setting, and the goblins were out in force, cackling and screeching into the night. In order to protect us from those nocturnal little fuckers, I had Sapphire use > to shape the terrain. Now we’ve got a 3 meter tall earthen wall completely surrounding the camp with a single narrow ramp connecting the top of the wall to the camp.Since we were trying to avoid attracting attention, no fire was lit. We quietly ate our rations while watching the sunset from on top of the walls. Watching the sunset over the Acheron River was quite an experience. At first, the sky looked like it was on fire. Then the blazing red sky gave way to the encroaching darkness slowly but surely. Eventually, the sun disappeared under the river, as if the mighty river swallowed it whole. This river, about 1-2 klicks wide at the Narrows, was the western boundary of human civilization on this entire continent. It flowed fiercely and proudly
A Dream Harem Life Built With Superior Firepower Chapter 19.5: Emma Learns about Higher Elements
A/N: Finally, the POV of the leading lady of the series. Enjoy!***Today was the 3rd day I woke up as a matched woman. Wow….I was surprised at how excited I still was about this. After all, the man I would be spending the rest of my life with was a complete stranger to me mere days ago. Instead of feeling nervous about this whole affair, I felt free- as if a world of possibilities suddenly opened up to me. It was love at first shot- my heart skipped a few beats when I saw him executing that shitty rapist in cold blood. No courtesy, no apology, no mercy- that was how a real man should deal with such filth. The fact that he looted his corpse like he was some mana-beast in the Wilds was a very nice touch. I would’ve loved it had he torched the corpse for good measure, but nobody’s perfect.When I first learned magecraft, the first thing I wanted to do with > was to burn all the disgusting criminals hiding behind their noble titles, dicks first. Let the fires of justice

The burly Paladin suddenly stopped struggling to get at me and guffawed. “HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You hear that? The stupid boy wants to duel me” He pushed the restraining hands aside and pointed right at me. “Fine! I accept! I’ll gut you just like I did to your street rats! Maybe that will teach you to respect your superiors.” The Archmage frowned deeply. I guessed he wasn’t a fan of Palusi’s plan to kill me in order to get me to be more pliant. Well, nobody ever confused Paladins with PhD’s… The Prince, after a moment of deliberation, finally spoke. “Paladin Palusi. Bring Ser Rummy to me alive, or you shall never be a Paladin again for the rest of your life.” That took some of the excitement out of the Paladin’s eyes. “Your Grace. I… I hear and obey.” “Should I win, I want the remains of my scouts, along with the wolf.” I calmly declared the stakes. Archmage Schuma weakly smiled in response. “Ser Rummy, is that truly all you want in exchange for risking your life and limb against one of

Chapter 47: Danger Close, Part 2
“You ready buddy?” I gave Loki an affectionate nose pat (Loki is far too tall for me to do head pats by now).“AWOOOO~” An armored Loki replied as he sniffed my neck. He was wearing a leather cap on his head (with 2 holes cut out for his ears), a leather chest piece that covered the front of his neck and down his chest, and a leather armor around the stirrup protecting his spine. “Yeah, you are! You’re my good boy!” I gave his ears a good petting and hopped on. Tali was pulled up shortly after. We sallied out of the gate in a blur. Loki gracefully jumped across the various trenchlines that lined the field and arrived at a stone obelisk with a “700m” carving near the top.Tali and I got off Loki and waited for the other side to arrive. Within a few minutes, a diplomatic party of 4 rode their war horses towards our position. Based on the fancy gear, fancy flag, and fancy horse (those things are twice as large as the horses in Carnwennan), this is the guy I needed to meet. The diploma

Chapter 46: Danger Close, Part 1
Sigh… I supposed it was very on-brand that shit hit the fan on the one day that I was off. After all these months of pulling 12 hour workdays, I figured I deserved a little morning break with the kiddos and their wolf puppies. Loki just had another batch of puppies with members of his impressive harem, so I was letting them mingle and play together outside on a beautiful sunny day. I was able to enjoy the blissful tranquility of puppies and babies for precisely 13 minutes before the castle bells were rung.To our credit, we responded quickly to the impending crisis. Within half an hour after the signal flare was sighted, everyone outside the walls were drawn inside and all militia members were at the battlements manning their posts. The non-combatants were heading to the arms factory for shelter (and to be gang-pressed into emergency ammo workers). The annual drills I made all of us do really paid off in that regard. I arrived at the battlements roughly 10 minutes after I’d heard the

Ch 45: A Walk Around the Neighborhood
The day started out like any other in these past few months- me waking up buck naked with two beautiful women by my side (equally naked, I may add!). Sure, I was usually exhausted from a jam-packed 10+ hour workday by the time I got back home, but the sight of 2 alluringly half-naked women bent over on my bed invigorated me in ways that even a potent cocaine and methamphetamine cocktail could not. The women of my harem had decided that 2 of them would “service” me at any given night while the other one would rest up and watch the kids. Of course, some part of me wanted to take all 3 of them at once every night. But I think I would drive myself into an early grave if I overworked my poor heart like that, especially if I had to work 10+ hours the day after…Tali had fortunately integrated into the harem with no drama. Of course, since my 1st wife Emma was the one that encouraged her to jump into the degeneracy, she had no problem with handing over the nominal role of the “head wife” to

Ch 44: Procrastination Nation
“Here is a new draft of the report on the iron shortage, Forge-master Rummy.” Nairi helpfully handed me the finalized draft of the report cobbled together from a series of disorganized notes and illegible calculations from yours truly. “Shall we go over the report together now so I could finalize it?” She asked in her typical angel-sweet voice. “Correction: I will go over and finalize the draft. You still need your rest.” I pointedly replied. Apparently, my overworked apprentice had a fainting episode while I was out in the Elven territory. She was teaching some of the newbies how to press the ammo cartridges at the forge-smithy around noon-time when she fainted for a moment. It was probably heat exhaustion or heat stroke from the ever-burning forge fires, but this is unacceptable. Considering his stance on work-life balance, Ronnie Lee would be rolling in his grave if he saw this. Nairi’s sunny enthusiasm for forge-smithy sometimes distracted from the fact that she was still a matur

Ch 43: Divine Inspiration
*BOOM* The last Ranger fell upon his knees and slumped down, clutching his chest under the mid-day sun. Soon he would join his comrades (and my former comrades) and depart the mortal plane. After I slinged the Garand over my shoulder, I cautiously approached the 4 fallen Rangers. As messed up as it is to loot them, my growing militia has equipment needs and military-grade body armor doesn’t grow on trees.As I turned one of the bodies over to strip it of the leather armor, the not-dead-yet Ranger grabbed my hand with what little strength he had left. Unlike the movies and books, people usually don’t immediately die after getting shot. The blood loss takes time. “It’ll be your day soon, traitor!” He croaked with all the malice and bitterness he could still muster. “Until then, mind if I borrow your stuff?.” I nonchalantly brushed aside his arm and continued looting. My former comrade gradually lost his consciousness as he bled out. By the time I was done looting him, he had expired.

Ch 42: A Princely Arrival, Part 3
In an austere meeting room of the City Hall with ornate furnishing, I begin my speech in front of all the relevant factions- my Legion’s general staff, the nobles of Carnwennan, and the general staff of the 626th Legion. Every one of them are in full military or noble dress, sparing no expenses. “Gentlemen, it has been a challenging moon and a half, but we have finally saved Carnwennan from the brink.” After waiting for the polite applause to die down, I continue. “Now, I will announce the reason why I came to Carnwennan. I was called here to accomplish the Quest that the Pantheon had bestowed upon me- the capture of Adept Rummy and his associates.” A wave of confused murmurs and “who?” erupts at my announcement. Fully understandable, I admit. But it is not the duty of mortals to publicly question the will of the Gods. Nor is it the duty of subjects to publicly question the will of their prince. That is the natural order of the world we live in. In response to this chatter, my Palad

“Kneel, peasant! For you stand in the presence of Prince Avalon of House Artorius!” My shifty Scoutmaster announced.The prisoner, who is in chains and manacles, slowly and hesitantly kneels in front of me. He seems to be a portly fellow of 40 or so winters.His hair is disheveled, and the state of his dress suggests that he was in the middle of an afternoon nap when the intrepid Turt apprehended him. “You may stand.” I cordially invited my new prisoner. The man looks wary of my invitation until Turt nudges him from behind. He tentatively rises up and stands before me. His face is understandably tense, as if he’s deciding between betraying his longtime friend and saving his family from certain imprisonment. A difficult choice, I must admit and sympathize. But unfortunately for him, I intend on making this a really easy decision.“I am going to be honest with you, peasant. I will sentence you to hang as a spy no matter what you say to me today. The only difference you can make today is

Ch 40: A Princely Arrival, Part 1
Authors’ note: This chapter is taken from the journal of Prince Avalon of House Artorius. Well, this Rummy character sure had made a proper mess in his wake. The city of Carnwennan was in shambles, dozens of noble Houses extinguished or ruined, and Gods know how many lives- highborn or otherwise- were reaped as a result of this madness. I would wager that it would take a generation or two for Carnwennan to recover, if it ever recovers.I am still piecing together what had happened based on what the scouts and knights had found, but this much is clear- he is no common commoner. It takes a certain arrogance and competence to plan and execute destruction of this scale.The decisive (and irreversible) nature of his action implies that he was never content living his lot and will never be content living his lot as the Gods intended. This man was prepared from the very beginning to defy the Pantheon and the natural order of this world, collateral damage be damned.In a way, both factions w
