BXBX NOVEL Chapter 103: Checking the System
His smell.
"I wanted to talk to you all, but I think it's better if I take a bath first... Can you wait for me in the living room?" Strax asked. The women were already returning to normal after his charm had intoxicated them. "I have something serious to tell you. Well, I think you've already noticed, but it's better to hear from my mouth what happened here." Strax said with a smile.
He had wanted to trust them enough to at least tell them about his physique before, but he had no reason to. After all, he didn't even have this physique awakened.
"Alright." Samira was the first to agree. "I hope you give a good explanation for causing this destruction in the house! This costs a lot to fix!" She scolded him, which surprised him since Samira was usually the most relaxed. He thought it would be Monica, the housekeeper, who would say something like that, not Samira.
At least he saw the smile on her face, even though it was still slightly stained with the small tears that had fallen when he was undergoing the physical reconstruction.
"Okay, we'll wait downstairs." Monica said, holding Beatrice's hand and taking her with her. "You have forty minutes to get ready. You owe us a long explanation." Monica said, her gaze quite sharp. It seemed much worse than he had imagined... well, he would have to understand later what was coming, but he remained firm watching them all leave.
Once they all left the room...
"System." Strax said seriously, expecting something to happen. The screen appeared, but blank, a red screen with golden borders, seeming to await his command. "Status." He said, and the screen reacted, slowly extending to show everything at his disposal... Something seemed to have changed intermittently. A lot had actually changed, but he began to slowly read what was coming.
[< Welcome, Strax Vorah. >]
[< You have reached the initial level of the System. With Version 1.0 installed, new features have been added to your experience. >]
[< Status >]
[Name: Strax Vorah
[Age: 18 years.
[Cultivation: Supreme Cultivator, Master Stage
[Talent: Rare
[Race: Human (Draconian)
[Physique: Dragon-Demonic
[< Notice: After the System update, your body has been adjusted to withstand the full strength of your unique physique. As a protective measure, we have already applied all rewards from the last completed missions. That is, we have used all your bonuses to keep you alive.>]
[Level: 60]
[HP: 957/957]
[Vitality: 67]
[Resistance: 60]
[Strength: 65]
[Agility: 60]
[Intelligence: 58]
[Defense: 65]
Strax still remembered his previous attributes, which were between 20 and 30 in almost all. But this leap... he had gained 40 points in all attributes... Why? Why was there such a difference from 20 to 60? Besides, how many missions had he completed?
How many point rewards were these? There were 240 points equally distributed!
"Damn... how strong have I become?" Strax wondered as he walked down the hall towards the bathroom. This brief moment made him realize something... "Wait... if my rewards were used this way, did I also gain skills?" He questioned himself, well, the answer was somewhat obvious.
"System, how many rewards was I supposed to gain?" He asked, however, the tab that appeared could not answer him.
[< Currently, it is impossible to calculate your feats. You have destroyed all the parameters of the System [Beta Phase] after making an extremely risky contract with two Pseudo-Deities. Your achievements were exorbitant. At present, not even System v1.0 would consider this possible.
The System's calculations indicate that you should be completely dead after forcing your soul into two contracts with entities of such magnitude. >]
"Huh?" He was surprised. Pseudo-deities? They were just two lustful women a few minutes ago! How could anyone call that "Pseudo-Deities"!!!
"Well... let's continue." He said, but the screen didn't change. "What happened to the rest of the things?" Strax asked but realized something. "Next Page." He said, and the System turned to the next relevant tab.
[< Harem System >]
He read calmly. Well, what was written was self-explanatory and represented a specific tab just for his women.
[< As a Dragon, your pride does not allow the women you take an interest in to wander the world freely, so, of course, you have to keep them for yourself, and only for yourself. And as a great demon, you also have to feed on their lust and satisfy both their desires and yours. >]
[< Current Harem Members >]
< Beatrice: The First Wife. She is a strange and complicated woman. She appears saintly and likes to be kind to people, but she is the most loyal of all, to the point of preferring death over saying anything that might harm her husband. She becomes extremely foul-mouthed to defend him, but in intimate moments... she acts like a great succubus.
< Samira: The Guild Master. Well, she is strong... but sometimes she is so weak when it comes to emotions. She is also quite distrustful and doesn't like being treated as a mere spark. She is a great imposing flame that likes to be respected... despite loving to be pampered.
< Monica: The Personal Maid. She is an ordinary maid in her free time, she exudes an air of nobility in her service and would never ignore etiquette when speaking to important people. But in her intimacy alone with her loved one, she is a great pervert, to the point of dropping everything to feel the pleasure of being loved and acting like a Lust Maid.
"Hm... These descriptions are pretty detailed, aren't they?" Strax questioned as he entered the bathroom. He had stopped at the bathroom door to read all these descriptions which, well... were just his own perspective on these women. After all, he didn't disagree with anything that was written.
"Well... I think something is missing here... and what about Ouroboros and Tiamat? Given that they were so interested, I would love to add them here." Strax said out loud as he undressed and turned on the shower.
The bathroom was quite spacious, even had a bathtub. It looked like a Japanese-style bathroom but was quite roomy with a shower, bathtub, and a washing area. Not to mention, of course, the sinks and mirrors.
Strax calmly lay in the bathtub as the water continued to fill it, and with a thought, he began to heat the water with his fire magic. "Ah~ This is good." He said, relaxing his tired body. He had not only gone through the toughest fight of his life in some time but was also exhausted after the physical reconstruction. He deserved a break.
"Let's continue with this." He thought and used his fingers to scroll down the Harem tab.
"Ouroboros and Tiamat..." He murmured. He wanted to add these two to his life, but there was a problem...
[< Change the contract to "Master and Lustful Servant" to add contracted spirits to the Harem. >]
"Lustful Servant? Is there such a type of contract?" Strax said, but the system didn't respond. Strax, for some reason, thought... "You want me to ask them, don't you?" Strax questioned the system tab.
[< ... >]
"I see... I'll handle that later." He said. Now there was something else he was interested in... He used his fingers to slide to the sidebar, heading to the next topic of the System...
[< System Supreme Skills (SSS Rank) >]
"I see... so SSS meant that... That's why only Inventory, Incubus, Analysis, Dual Cultivation, and Love Copy were in this tier." Strax murmured and went straight to the first skill...
[< Inventory: The inventory skill has been restructured. Now you can store items in it without having to open the system. Simply think about it, and the item will be automatically teleported into the 50m² space. In this space, it is impossible to send living beings, only inanimate objects or those possessing mana. >]
"Understood, previously I didn't even remember to use this skill because it was cumbersome to activate... Now it's just a thought... But wait, can my swords be stored in this space?" Strax questioned, after all, there was no mention of spirits.
[< Answer: Yes, it is possible to store spirit swords and weapons with sealed spirits. >]
"Okay, this is better... they draw too much attention and become very... active, I guess that's the best word I can find. I don't want them to start... moaning every time I touch them. I hope to control this aura soon." Strax said, while scrolling to the next SSS skill.
[< Dual Cultivation >]
He read it. Initially, he already knew this was quite odd in the "beta version." He would have sex with his wives, but nothing would happen. It took him a long time to realize that this form of cultivation wasn't very effective, at least that's what he thought in the beta version...
Now, the real skill had arrived. After much effort, he finally got the real deal!
