Huffing out an annoyed sigh, I enter the smithy. The hot bread is still whole as I toss it over the table where Aslan and I usually eat together. A small note comes flying out of the paper wrapper and lands in front of me.

Resembling the handwriting of a toddler, it reads: “Meet me in three days' time at the haunted mill beyond the graveyard. Don’t eat. I’m bringing dinner.”

A baker doesn’t have time to exercise writing and calligraphy. I’m amazed she can write, but I guess it’s important for her to be able to read recipes.

Moving my fingers over the note, I frown, remembering I acted like a fool in front of her. When faced with her presence, I was unlike my usual self and acted like a shy boy instead. Wrenn’s memories and feelings might impact me more than I think.

When I tried to say something, my words failed me. Wrenn has had a huge crush on this baker for a long time, but never had the courage to ask her out. His jitters seem to pass onto me.

She’d given me the bread, and I nod

    Darkness has settled as I scour cave after cave. Night or day, it makes no difference here in the gloomy depths of the earth, through stony passages and narrow, twisting tunnels. The only light comes from the candle lamp I’ve brought.As I place the lamp next to an obsidian deposit, I’m happy with my choice in lighting. Torches are very useful in the darkness, but it’s hard to use a pickaxe while holding one of the damn things.I strike the obsidian vein, the pickaxe ringing through the caverns and echoing off the walls. Every swing sends a shock wave throughout my body. However, I remain steadfast and unyielding, committed and intent. I continue to chip away at the obsidian until I have a sizable chunk of the precious ore. With my prize in hand, I grin with satisfaction. My job is half done.After shoving the obsidian into the giant leather backpack, I pull out and enjoy a small snack Aslan prepared for me. As I lean down to pick up my lamp to get ready to leave, I see something c

    Everyone turns to me, the men’s faces a bit hilarious as they struggle to see me through the dark. If I weren't so petrified of what is looming ahead, I could laugh.When they reach into my hiding spot to drag me out, I scream internally as I pointlessly struggle to break free from their grip. System, where the fuck are you? I need you now! Stop the radio silence bullshit!They take my trusty pickaxe and throw it away near the entrance to the cave. Still holding tight the backpack containing my precious materials, I’m huddled between the three thugs as they easily get me to kneel in front of their boss lady. She crosses her legs and looks down at me, mindlessly playing with a pair of daggers. Her fingers move deftly as if she has been well-trained in the art of combat. She expertly wields the two blades in a deadly dance, grace and beauty to the way the daggers shift in the air as if they are an extension of her body. I hold her gaze for a second before my eyes— totally ignoring t

  • Harem Multiverse Challenge   Ch 17. Afraid and Aroused

    Choosing daggers to fight against swords might not be the wisest choice, but Bree’s speed and reflexes are so sharp that I can easily see her winning any fight. Her blades flash as she fends off the two men's strikes with poise and precision. I remain in my current position, my eyes transfixed on the brawl with intense interest. Dodging a horizontal slash, she leans backward, her backbone forming a perfect arc; slender and curved. Her chest pushes out and up, exposing the perfect tits pointing toward the ceiling as the sides of her bra slide down along her sides. Bree jumps to her left, letting the men’s swords fly past her. Strands of her black hair fall onto her face as she pivots, her hips swaying in a seductive manner.One of the bandits deflects her retaliatory blows with his blade, catching her wrist, while the other man applies a kick to the back of her knee to knock her off balance. She grunts in pain and rolls away, my breath hitching in my throat as my stomach knots anxi

    My mind goes blank as I watch her approach me. Am I really going to die? [....][Just pick the +1 life if you’re so scared. Why in the world am I always given the worst users in the Multiverse?]Fine. I choose the +1 life reward. [Reward granted]Without a word, Bree pushes the tip of her dagger against my throat and then slides it up and down. My heart beats wildly in my chest when the cold steel ventures downward, tracing a line across my chest as it cuts through my shirt. I wait for the pain to come, but it doesn’t. And when I look up into Bree’s eyes, I notice her eyes are glazed over as she stares at my bare chest. Desire flickers in her gaze as fascination replaces her earlier fury. Oh, my, how tables have turned. A grin of satisfaction dies before having the chance to bloom on my face. The gag is too tight for my lips to form a smile. “You’ve seen my men. I’m not picky as long as they’re eager to please me,” she says as her blade reaches my navel. “When the nights are cold

  • Harem Multiverse Challenge   Ch 19. Alive and on Top

    As Bree rides the orgasmic aftershocks, her body becomes a lewd map of sensitive spots for me to explore. Every little movement of my tongue brings waves of pleasure that ripple through her, making her arch her back and writhe against the stone. There’s no stopping it now, the flood of gasps and moans that roll from her throat, her thighs closing around my head. I decide to raise the stakes and add more danger to the scenario by testing her limits. Like one of her daggers, I insert my tongue inside her, teasing her pulsating walls. A shrill shriek escapes her mouth, followed quickly by another. "Stop," Bree cries, lifting her upper half from the rock as she continues to moan and pant.Our eyes meet. There's a fire burning in them, her mouth agape in an expression of wanting more. I follow the desire in her gaze instead of her words, my tongue darting even deeper inside her.Her thighs unlock and her hand takes a fistful of my hair, pulling me back. “Are you deaf?” She tries to me

  • Harem Multiverse Challenge   Ch 20. Compulsive Desire

    The lustful tension between us sizzles through the air. My eyes linger on her body for a few moments before I forcefully turn her around. "What are you doing?" she asks, her voice wavering slightly.I pause for a moment before I answer. "I'm giving you a choice," I say, my voice low and deep. "You can either stay still and enjoy what I have to offer, or you can go ahead and kill me."Holding back a chuckle at my wisecrack, I press her face and tits against the wall. How could I say, ‘I’m giving you a choice,’ when every second I’m still alive is a choice she makes? Weirdly enough, the idea of her being able to kill me but choosing not to is turning me on so much more than I expected. A mischievous grin spreads across my face. Let’s see how much I can do to her before she decides to end this little game along with my life. Holding her forearms and pulling them back, I force her back to arch. My legs nudge hers to part, and she dutifully obliges. My erection stands straight, pointin

  • Harem Multiverse Challenge   Ch 21. Side Task Completed

    Bree's expression shifts, her eyes flickering with uncertainty as her gaze scours mine, wanting to know if I'm serious about making her beg. The contrast between her glower and her quivering lips reflects the conflict between her mind and her body. I can understand the inner turmoil. If she gives in to me, she is admitting to having a weakness. If she refuses me, she'll have lose out on the potential fuck of a lifetime.Teeth biting into her lower lip, Bree gulps, her eyes returning to my cock which still stands at attention, pointing toward her. “I–I…” she starts, but the words seem to get stuck in her throat. She gulps again and struggles to say the words. This woman fought and killed three men who were her lovers, showing no doubt or even a hint of fear or remorse. Yet, now she can't bring herself to beg and say my name, even if desperation is written all over her face. “I can wait…” I say, and my gaze moves to her cunt. I find it endearing that she can't say it. Bree shies aw

    System remains silent, and I have the vague impression she’s looking down on me, waiting for me to figure it out all by myself while she’s snickering hidden in a corner.A small whimper escapes Bree, and I shake off my shock to turn to her.“That was very… intense,” she mutters, “to put it mildly.”Before the implications of what System said could make their way into my mind, the answer appears before me. Bree lifts up her chin, and her face seems to shine with a golden glow. There's no denying it.Nevertheless, similar to wiping a table with a cloth, the sparkle vanishes as if she’s not allowing herself to let it out. “Yes, it was,” I say, putting back my pants. Bree’s former glow had to be just in my imagination, a picture stirred by the System and her jokes. If I don’t want to pointlessly lose my extra life, I should get going before I say something to get on Bree’s wrong side. Though, would System really joke about something like this? She seems pretty serious about tasks and r

    System claps her hands, pulling everyone’s attention back to the game. “Alright, alright, enough stalling. Back to the game! And remember, the more teasing, the better. Let’s see if David can handle it.”With a sigh, the widow goes back to play. Once Sasha gets her hands on the ball and serves, the action speeds up once more, but this time there is an extra layer of danger to each stroke. The four of them — Bree, Naomi, Stella, and Sasha — are totally on board with it, and they seize every chance to touch, stare, and show affectionate flirt with each other — to tease me. Bree might run her fingers over Naomi’s back as they pass each other, or Sasha might ‘accidentally’ brush her chest against Bree’s when they go for the same shot.System, meanwhile, watches it all with an amused smile, calling out the points and occasionally adding her own suggestions. “Naomi, why don’t you give Sasha a little encouragement? You know, a kiss for good luck?”Naomi doesn’t hesitate, leaning over to pla

  • Ch 174. Too Much Teasing

    The girls’ eyes widen in surprise, and for a moment, no one says a word. Then, slowly, a grin spreads across Bree’s face.“Naked tennis?” she echoes, her voice laced with amusement. “You’re really trying to shake things up, huh?”System shrugs casually, her tone nonchalant. “I figured we could use a bit of spiced-up fun. And I know our dear David here would thoroughly enjoy the view.”I can’t help but chuckle, raising an eyebrow at System’s bold suggestion. “You do know me well, System. But are you sure you want to join in? I mean, you just got that body—”“Exactly,” System interrupts, her eyes sparkling with a playful challenge. “What better way to get used to it than by embracing it fully? Literally.”Bree laughs. “Alright, I’m in. I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge. And it’s not like we haven’t seen each other naked before.”Sasha nods in agreement, her competitive spirit flaring up. “Same here. Besides, it’ll make the game more interesting. Just don’t get distracted

  • Ch 173. Raising the Stakes

    Despite Sasha’s sad pout, we all had agreed to sell some of her gemstones to pay for a luxurious house on the beach. It has a large pool, a tennis court, and a garden that overlooks the sea.She has agreed with the plan; her only plea was to be able to keep the gems she wants. Fortunately, though, her sadness over parting with the jewels to pay for the house seems to have faded as she is now learning tennis with the other girls. Wealth has its perks.As I sit on a chaise lounge with my fancy cocktail in hand, I watch the girls play. What can I say? The view beats the scenery of the sea. As the girls play tennis or sprint around, their skirts flutter wildly. The sun is shining brightly on their deep cleavages. Their tits and flat stomachs are on full display in those skintight, low-cut tank tops.“How does this swimsuit make me look?” System says, as she walks into my field of view and does a quick spin. Embracing every curve of her newly acquired body, System's swimsuit is a shimme

    I nod in agreement. “Yes, this Luminara model does look perfect. Let’s get this one.” I turn to the receptionist. “Can we overwrite its AI in order to insert our own?”The receptionist smiles, her eyes lighting up with professional enthusiasm. “Absolutely, sir. Our models are designed with customizable AI integration. You can easily overwrite the existing AI to insert your own programming, or we can help you with that free of charge.”“Great,” I reply. “Now, let’s talk payment methods. We, uh, might not have traditional credits on us.”She doesn’t miss a beat, her smile widening. “That’s quite alright. We accept a variety of payment methods. Beyond standard credits, we have several unconventional options to suit our diverse clientele.”Bree raises an eyebrow. “Unconventional options?”The receptionist nods. “Yes. We accept rare artifacts and unique items of significant value or even one-of-a-kind abilities. Additionally, we have a bartering system in place for those who possess skills

    We step through the portal together, the golden light enveloping us. The warm sun kisses our skin, and the sound of waves fills the air when we emerge on the other side. It’s perfect.“Welcome home, everyone,” I say, feeling a sense of contentment settle over me. The girls cheer, their excitement infectious. We’ve faced countless challenges and overcome insurmountable odds, but now we have the chance to create something truly special.“Alright, first things first,” I say, looking down at the jar in my hands. “Let’s go to the city we’ve seen through the portal and find a body for the System.”“I understand that Goddess didn’t care about taking over bodies and exchanging their souls,” Naomi starts. “But are we sure we want to do something similar? What will happen to the actual soul residing in that body when System takes over?”I shrug, trying to avoid the moral implications. These people weren’t just some random NPCs made by the Goddess. These were real people spread on different wor

  • Ch 170. Eternal Damnation

    My girls and I stand at a safe distance away, watching as the mob of angry challengers surrounds the now-powerless Goddess. It’s like watching a pack of wolves descend on a lone deer, and for a moment, I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.“David, are you sure this is the best way?” Stella asks, her voice laced with concern as she clings to my arm, her breasts wapped around my biceps through her thin blouse’s fabric.“Trust me, Stella; she deserves every bit of this,” I reply, my eyes never leaving the scene before us. “She’s tormented and manipulated us for long enough.”Naomi nods in agreement. “She needs to understand what it feels like to be powerless and at someone else’s mercy.”“To be truthful,” Bree starts, licking her upper lip. “In my opinion, this is more like a reward than a punishment.”The others look at her, eyes wide.“What?” She shrugs. “Just look over there.”She points to the Goddess right when the bulky barbarian slides his furry tabard to one side to reveal his eno

    “Your straightforwardness is refreshing, David,” the Goddess says with a smirk.She snaps her slender fingers, and suddenly, I have a body. Ten fingers, ten toes, a dick, and all. I start by flexing my cock, and I could not be happier about how hard it already is.“Feels familiar?” she asks, her smirk widening.Truth be told, every one of the bodies I had in the worlds I explored after my untimely death was excellent and had everything a woman could want to make her heart sing. But they never felt like me — the real me, I mean. Nevertheless, things are different now. This time, I feel exactly like I did in my twenties.I lower my gaze and take a good look at my cock. Oh, well, that’s MY cock for sure. As I laugh it out, I realize it is just like seeing an old friend. “It’s really my real body?” I ask.“Yes, David. It’s your body. Exactly as it was when you were in your twenties.”“Well, hot damn,” I say, flexing my muscles and admiring the view. “I missed you, buddy.” I give a playfu

  • Ch 168. The Reward

    The presence of Sasha’s voice in my head — one that is not System's — is incredibly peculiar. However, there is no time to contemplate the situation.As the darkness fades, the eerie half-light of Limbo reveals the Goddess’ throne made of skulls — each one grinning in eternal mockery. Their hollow eyes seem to follow me. Shadows dance across the barren landscape, flickering like restless souls searching for peace around the portals.Her fingers tap rhythmically on the armrests, creating an eerie melody that echoes through the void. But, despite her terrifying appearance, there’s that undeniable, twisted allure to her. Every inch of her body radiates a dark, seductive energy. Her full breasts are barely kept in check by the bony fingers bra.Even a blind ninety-year-old monk would have stopped to stare. If he weren’t blind, I mean. Shitty brain! What a stupid metaphor…“Well, well, well,” she purrs, her voice like the rustle of dry leaves. “Back so soon, David?”“Hey there,” I say, for

    Everyone gathers around the table, and Sasha holds out a small velvet pouch. I can see the telltale shimmer of gems within.Her voice is steady and authoritative. “I’ve found what we need. This,” she says, pulling out a deep blue gem with silver flecks, “is a Soulstone Sapphire, cut into an Orb Shape. It has a very special ability called Ethereal Echoes.”Naomi, Stella, and Bree lean in, their eyes wide with curiosity. I can’t help but grin at their eagerness.“So, what exactly does it do?” Naomi asks, her brow furrowed in concentration.Sasha holds the orb up, letting the candlelight dance across its surface. “This gem acts as a listening device, tethering me to David’s soul. Through this connection, I can pinpoint his exact location and hear everything happening around him. This will allow me to teleport everyone to his position accurately.”“Oh, now I see,” I say. “So it’s like a magical GPS?”“What’s that?” Sasha asks, then her eyes return to the deep blue gem with silver flecks.
