“My prince… Seed… Please…”
There is satisfied mumbling coming from my harem-sized bed. Through the huge eastern window of Lions Keep’s Grand Suite, I can see the sun will soon be peeking over the horizon. Through the just as large western window the second moon is barely visible in the predawn sky.
Sprawled on the bed, and on her stomach, is a mocha skinned goddess. Her oh so squeezable and humpable rump calls to me like a mythical siren. Suckable and pinchable boobs so big, they bulge out to each side of her chest. The smooth soft cocoa skin glows like a beacon to sexland.
Once tightly weaved long black curly hair is a disheveled mess. And matted with my drying, uh, fluids. Even after being wiped down and tidied up a bit by my girls and the maidettes. Sadly that lustful expressive face is hidden. Buried deep in the pillows I pounded her into like a pile driver.
Let out a sigh, remembering how good she felt wrapped around me. Truly, grade S pussy. The first girl I’ve met who could really give Frankie a run for her money. Even more than Lili. If only she wasn't my brother-in-law’s wife.
Shouldn’t have ridden her so hard this morning. But its not all my fault. Lula is the one who insisted on being my isekai alarm clock. Waking up to those strikingly green eyes staring up at me? My morning wood turned into a stone pillar so fast I’m surprised I didn’t dislocate her jaw.
Maybe some women are just born erotic? Maybe a pheromone thing? Maybe its maybelline?
Kind of relieved I’m not still in bed with her. Fucked until she passed out but even then it took some serious willpower to pull myself off her. Something about this woman just gets my balls burning hot. Too hot.
Last night? After we finished getting ready for today? Frankie and Lula teamed up to take me down. My saintess of sex and this chocolate angel brought all their skills to bear and…
Sweet jesus!
A month. Mommy duke and Lula’s hubby want her to be here for a month. Christ.
“Thank you… My love…”
Breath catches as I hear more mumbling from my bed’s only occupant.
What if I keep her? No, can’t do that to Blue.
A dusky toned hand caresses my cheek.
“Be at ease, Master.” Turn to see Frankie’s eyes full of caring. “She is still devoted to her husband. Now, Lady Luliene has a god too. One who makes dreams come true.”
Eh? Oh, yeah, our rings. Shit, I am really not awake yet. Though even the ladies without wedding bands seem to have picked up on my worries. Blue is giving me a sympathetic look.
“Darling. I trust you.”
Thanks Blue, that does help.
The carriage ride back took longer than expected, so last night was Lula’s first “treatment.” Paging doctor dick. Yeah, moving five plus thousand undead is harder then moving a thousand undead. No shit, Sherlock.
Well it gave time for the harem and Lula to feel each other out. Not that way, you perverts. And Lula and Frankie became two peas in a pod. Which I really did not expect. Shouldn’t be surprised though considering their shared interests.
Namely, me and everything about me.
While I sometimes call Ushi my high priestess? She’s more like my only priestess. Not like this cult thing is very organized. From what I heard of their chat? Sounds like my mocha momma to be is very interested in becoming the second one.
Lula was at the end of her rope when tales of “the Beast” reached her ears. Especially his healing powers and, uh, “virility.” Supposedly even barren women start popping out babies after being schlapped with my schlong.
Seriously.
What the fuck.
Haven’t even been here three months yet and I’m already the cure for sterility? With me not being able to fix Frankie’s fertility yet? That kind of pisses me off.
Call me whatever you want to call me. If I don’t like it I’ll just kill you. But at least get your facts straight.
Lula took me popping the schlong schlapping bubble pretty well. All things considered. Though she’s already committed because…
She’s a slave.
Yep, the wife of the heir to House Chastel. Is a slave. Luliene’s also not his first wife. Like most nobles, her hubby attended a school and did the marriage thing. Had a lot of issues with getting wife one knocked up but, after a few years. Mister stork finally scheduled a delivery.
Unfortunately, both mother and son died during that delivery.
While consoling himself, with lots of alcohol and hookers, Hamond comes across Lula. A fresh off the boat slave from a land south of Aquecia. A princess down there who ended up on the losing side of a war. Says she was lucky to only be sold into slavery and kicked out of the country.
Could have been raped to death. Had her flesh eaten. Plus skin sewn into clothing. And if she was very, very, lucky? It would've happened in that order.
…
Ew…
So, it's love at first sight for Hamond. Though I bet it was more like at first lay. Lula’s quickly got a new owner and is swept off her feet to the Duchy of Trosseria. House Chastel’s home turf.
Happily ever after as a rich and powerful noble’s personal sex toy, right?
Wrong.
Hamond has an even harder time knocking up Lula. And, as a slave bought for knocking up? If she can’t make them babies? Sooner or later she’s going to be sold to someone else or, more likely, have an “accident.” The fatal kind. Better that than risking his lordship’s reputation be smirched by exposed peepee problems.
Again showing off how lucky she is, hubby is still head over heels for her. And after having my own turn with her, I can see why. So they’ve been searching high and low for a “cure.” Tried everything. Even let a few “affairs” with other men happen.
No dice.
After years of this, it was still not a life and death issue for Luliene. Thanks to her devoted hubby. Until a demon invasion and succession crisis puts a spotlight on the heir, not having an heir. Plus with the other potential heirs already in the pockets of rival houses?
The heat is on.
Sigh.
“Master, this is what she wants.” Frankie really does have the prettiest violet eyes.
Yeah, she’s already knocked up. Actually took care of it last night. You see? Lula isn’t sterile or barren or infertile or whatever the fuck you call it. Her eggs just aren’t “sticky.” Or maybe its her womb? At least that’s the feel I get from [Eyes of Ouroboros].
One [Kiss of Ashtart] later, and Lula’s already got an egg fed. By doctor dick. Just need to wait a couple of days and make sure it gets all nice and cozy in her womb.
Why don’t I use the same spell on Frankie?
Cause Frankie’s got no eggs to use it on. While I was able to repair what demon dick pounded into mush? I couldn’t get the ovaries making eggs again.
That’s the spell I’ve got to come up with.
But making my sailors stronger and faster? Making an egg, uh, eggier? Yeah, I got this. Well, that. Same spell does both. Even got one for fixing my balls. Get them making a navy again. Ovaries though? Nope.
Now that I think about it, isn’t that an odd gap t-
“M-my lord m-master?” From one of the maidettes dressing me. “Your attire is c-complete.” Cat-girl’s on her knees looking up at me like I’m the barbarian in a Vallejo or Frazetta painting. “Is? Is th-there?”
Why are some of the maids still so nervous around me? We’ve fucked how many times now? Honey, you’ve seen everything I’ve got and I’ve seen everything you’ve got.
“That will be all, Eri.” Frankie makes some final adjustments. “Our master feels pleased. You have done well.” The maidette about skips away to her other chores with the happiest grin on her face.
And Frankie isn’t lying. Hated school but these uniforms are cool. Never went to a school with uniforms. Maybe I missed out.
The rest of the girls have finished dressing. Odaline and Simone in the teacher’s version of the Stormgarde uniform. Hitomi, Blue, and I, in the student’s version. Frankie, Red, and Lili are dressed in casual, but still noble level fancy, skirts and shirts.
Mila, on the other hand, is a handful. She’s been deep in a dungeon, hot and humid, since the day she was born. The surface world around here is pretty chilly and dry in comparison. Would wear furs on top of her fur if I let her. Its also late spring. Meaning the temp is still in the fifties? Sixties maybe?
Oh she eventually settled for the same style shirt and skirt as the other three. Though convincing her to wear panties was a struggle. The real problem is her tail. As in, keeping control of it.
It keeps trying to wiggle its way into my pants! And since she is going to be one of my escorts?
Sigh.
Kinda doubt its MC, medievally correct, to walk around campus, and sit in classes, all day getting a tailjob!
Oh, and the escort thing? Became another incident. Miyula about threw down with Edelys when she ordered Mila to stay in Lions Keep and train. Though I can see where Red is coming from. Emelina will not join with Mila while on campus unless there’s an emergency.
So I’ve got a one armed escort with a two-handed sword strapped across her back. Yeah she can use it one handed. Girl is almost freakishly strong. But she’s only got a left hand now and she was right handed. So her skill level with that sword?
Not impressive.
Red finally caves when the need for Mila to know the campus is brought up. But its now another sore spot between the harem and Mila. Maybe this will settle her down. After all, I could tell how thrilled Emelina was to get Hitomi-free time with me every day.
The only class Hitomi shares with me is 3rd period, Umbra I.
Let’s see...
Silvie is still in Granya. Frosty left for Stormgarde early. She is a Dean there after all. Foxy is back at the guild. Probably reporting everything, and I do mean everything, we did. Well, probably leaving out the butt stuff. She really got her freak on.
Oh and speaking of adventurers, the Redbrands are still on a commission. So I can’t work out with the Demolisher in or out of the sack.
While Val left with her sisters after getting a drink, of me, last night.
Sent the, not just blood anymore, suckers squad out scouting for a place to store my army. Right now, all the new employees of BUTT, Barton Undead Terrors Technologies, Incorporated are stuffed into the old sorcerer king’s crypt and there is clearly not enough room.
Frazur is bitching, a lot, about it.
Still need to sort and separate the undead wheat from the living impaired chaff too.
Wasn’t bad when most didn’t have, well, bodies. But with all the skellies and other material type violations of the laws of nature I’ve added? Really need to find them a base. Would like to give Val a badass castle too. Let her do the whole vamp queen thing.
So its time to find some new digs. Or, in this case, more digs.
And its not like we don’t have plenty to choose from. Lili has taken to the whole corporate secretary thing with gusto. She’s only been married to me for four weeks but has already bought up a ton of land and traders.
Shit, I now own a significant chunk of Pearlden, Raelera, and everything around them. Both properties and businesses. The economy is a wreck so everything is pretty much at fire sale prices. She has the stores keep their names so most don’t realize it but, I’m the owner.
Also only three weeks have passed since House Gilend fell but many village lords who used to bow to Raelera’s Count? Are bowing to Lions Keep’s Viscount instead. Hell, what’s left of the Gilends are still arguing over who the next count will be.
Meanwhile my girls have formed a county council. All six of my wives, plus other harem members when present, discuss and debate before answering new queries and requests from local lords.
Which sometimes takes our post pump pillow parleys into strange territory. The ladies, bless their hearts, still make sure I sign off on everything first before making any final decisions. I’ll admit it, my ego really likes that.
The result? I’m circulating a shitload of money through the region. Which if I recall from those history documentaries? Is a good thing. I think. Hopefully.
“More… My prince… More…”
Sigh.
Enjoying your siesta? You lazy cocoa goddess. The rest of us are up, sexed, bathed, and dressed, but you’re still passed the fuck out. Granted I didn’t pound anyone else into the ground until they fainted this morning but still…
When the fuck did I become a morning person?
Got the prego checkups for Frosty and Red done yesterday. Both coming along fine. In my completely untrained and winging it unprofessional opinion of course.
Ugh...
Its fine that I’m letting Lula stay for a month. Right? Told her she’s now got a bun in the oven, last night. Lots of crying and hugging followed, of course. No high fives though. Well, they are chicks. Could leave but Lula said she wants to stay. Make sure sure there aren’t any problems. That’s good, right?
But then, what was up with this morning?
…
Fuck.
“Lord Barton.”
!!!
Dammit not-sebastian, stop doing that! Going to give me an isekai heart attack.
“Breakfast is served, in the grotto.”
“Oh, yes.” *whew* “Thank you butler.”
And, he’s gone. Fucking [Butler Magic].
Harem + 1. Roll out.
Everyone starts heading down from the loft and towards the many many stairs that will, eventually, get us back to the ground. I’m in the back, watching the rears swing. Unusually, she likes me undressing her ass with my eyes, Frankie stays back with me.
“Master, it really is what she wants.”
Shake my head.
“I killed her father. I’m not going to NTR her brother.”
Frankie shakes her head too.
“You are too kind, master. Sister Alote understands.” Holds my hand as we start down the stairs. “Lady Luliene likes Lord Hamond. He saved her from a tragic fate in the brothels. But, she’s still a slave.” Hugs my arm. “Now, for the first time in as long as she can remember? She feels safe. Feels loved.”
“Frankie…”
“Master, please let me finish. I choose to remain your slave. It is what I want to be.” Double hugs my arm. “Lady Luliene is grateful to Lord Hamond. But she is a slave who does not want to be.”
“Can’t do that to Blue. Won’t do that to-”
Frankie pulls me over a bit and gets on her tippy toes to kiss my cheek.
“Such a wonderful master. Be at ease, my love.” Pats my arm as we walk. “We spoke before she woke you. Lady Luliene is truly happy. She can at last repay her debt to the man she married.”
Good.
“And have the child of the man she loves.”
Shit.

For my first chapter in the School Arc, I wanted to show a day in the life attending Stormgarde. Give glimpses of each period. By the by, Ipran days are broken up into sixteen hours instead of twenty-four. Each Ipran hour is a bit longer than one of our hours.
So I'll have one chapter broken up into nine sections. Breakfast, 1st period, 2nd period, 3rd period, Lunch, 4th period, 5th period, 6th period, and lastly Dinner.
Good plan, right? And twenty-five hundred plus words later? Its still Breakfast. The first day of school just might take a few more chapters.
Why'd u skip him having his isekai Mocca Frap for the first time?
@pincho Crap, I'm sorry. Never replied to your question. The main reason is because I'm not entirely confident on writing smut. I did an experimental chapter focusing on s*x but still not really satisfied with it. But I don't want to do the "fade to black" thing either. So I try to somewhat lay out whats going on but not go play by play through it either. And his first time with Lula would be a long chapter with a lot positions and actions reactions to describe.
I like cocoa, keep cocoa, give the child to Blue's mother and keep cocoa x.x
need more thanks
He is coo-coo for Coco Puffs!
At this point it feels like she's brainwashed all of them. KILL HER OFF
Why doesn’t he heal Mila and Mitzi? Given the oracles, the half dead’s work on complete bodies, so why not just fully heal the cripples so everyone has a fully functioning body all the time?
Partially because Jon doesn’t want to enough yet. Regrowing limbs is very costly mana wise. Partially because they don't really want him too. They feel blessed enough over what Jon's given them already.
I celebrated when the author cleaned house, plot-wise, by killing off his harem. I feel like the story is again reaching a dead end. I was surprised to see the author fall into the same trap, again; sad perverted power fantasy trope. IMHO, the story, along with the MC is again bogged down by his senseless harem. (e.g. "Random morning rim-jobs from SIL, whatever, what is next on the schedule? Oh, women want to line up in the street to accept my seed, while their husbands applaud? As expected."). W... T... F!?
Also, ridiculously large undead army. Was there a point to him having affinity with other magic? Are the undead controlled by him, or not? They seem pretty damn independent; Is he intentionally breeding a plague of undead that will break loose "in the name of 'the One'"and kill all the living, if he is K.O.ed? Or, is he stupid? (Yes, is the answer. Thank you psycho wife #1.). Are the citizens not terrified?! I feel like there is a lot of ridiculous stuff happening that would be impossible for individuals, harems, or nations of people to ignore... even with the insane schemes of wifey #1.
Can we have the undead army eat all his wives, in laws, the dumb isekai trope school, etc? He could have a mini coma and wake up a week later post-apocalypse. Or, his wifey could run off with his army, without telling him (he has sooo many bedwarmers, he'd hardly miss her), to do bad deeds in his name. Or, have MC unwittingly kill everyone while he sleeps... he has nightmares? Purge harem. Consequently purge McGuffin army (during his rage about the sudden but inevitable horrors). ... let MC have a meaningful (not slave to his schlong) relationship, please? Maybe solve problems using his own power again, rather than the threat of undead apocalypse. (He didn't even want to be here, right?)
Well glad you liked some of it. This is a wish fulfillment story though. I'm just trying my own spin on it. Its also a harem story. Women are not completely powerless but there is nothing like women's suffrage or emancipation here. So far.
The magic side of the MC is still in the works. He's only been here for three months after all. Finally starting the school arc so can begin exploring more of the magic side of this world. Necromancy fulfills the MC's needs right now. Letting him become the big boy on the block. But its still just the block.
Its only the weakened and unstable state of the neighborhood that lets the MC f*ck with the other blocks too. How he explores the other schools of magic once he hits the ceiling with the dark school hasn't started yet.
What the Lich Kings were, how they operated, and what their goals were, is not completely or accurately revealed yet. Explore a path of escalation but also have lots of slice of life.
MC is being used and knows it. So he's using back. That's how he copes with what's happened. Instead of deciding its a game like the aquecian heroes did. Plus none of the other heroes have been revealed yet. At this point his best chance for something real is Hitomi. The average looking japanese shinobi oktaku girl.
Have to see how that plays out with them both.
As far as Lula and getting knocked up by not-hubby? Well it is a life or death situation for her and she is a slave. This is from the MC's POV most of the time. Doesn't mean he's never getting lied too.
Wanted to explore how pregnancy and children are handled in a society where rank and mana is everything. Everyone wants mana babies. They are almost the golden ticket for peasants. For nobles they are a strategic resource.
So what do you do if you hubby and wifey can't make them?
This is a work in progress but I have no plans to wipe out harem 2.0. Doesn't mean it won't get some trimming here and there. Also doesn't mean there won't be disputes within the harem as different factions form. Again though, things take time to develop and its only been a couple months.
@ByzFan ... I actually like a LOT of it. You're a solid writer, potentially publishable. But, I think you're writing yourself into a corner and letting the quality drop in order to sensationalize things for some of the audience.
Two questions, that you might consider fleshing out in chapters. (1) Is there anything in the world that you've built that could realistically be a threat to the MC, given his personal power and influence (including undead wives, and political)? (2) Can you explain in more detail, at some point, why husbands would be willing to farm out their wives for another guy to impregnate? From an objective standpoint, your MC seems outright villainous. As a married man, the prospect of my wife squirming on another man's pole, so that these guys are willing to put up with the headaches and costs of raising another man's spawn, really don't seem attractive to me.
Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed your story thus far, but the behavioral realisim factor (setting aside fantasy elements) has dropped from a 9.5/10 to a 1/10. And, honestly, from what I read before, you are a better writer than this. You are perfectly capable of coming up with actual reasons for people to behave as you describe.
For example, WHY would all these husbands put up with Adrian's fertility clinic. Do they give the cuck husbands a prize? Are these cucks suddenly showered with riches or are they suddenly able to trade their old wives away for newer, more faithful wives? Are the fathers allowed to be tax-free for the remainder of their lives? (Public benefit to having a magic-kid.) Non-magic children generally don't provide great benefits for their parents; the only reason people in feudal society even put up with kids was because they'd serve as virtual slave labor on the farms. No only are these kids a stain on the honor of their fathers, but the odds that they will stick around and work on the farm are inversely proportionate to any "magic" these kids demonstrate.
@TDM
(1) Is there anything in the world that you've built that could realistically be a threat to the MC, given his personal power and influence (including undead wives, and political)?
Actually quite a lot. Probably didn't do a good enough job of hinting or portraying it but the stage right now is the Kingdom of Tourin. And its a state on the edge of collapse and civil war. In particular scenarios Jon and company are overpowering. However, in a more organized and united state, like Aquecia? It would be Jon and company getting overwhelmed.
Individually Jon appears overpowering. However, he's brute forcing it. Using his cheats to compensate for his lack of skills and experience. As well as his big gaps in magical knowledge. What's letting Jon have such a big impact on Tourin is its vulnerability. Part of the purpose of the school arc is too show where he is lacking. Hinted at by things like his 343 score.
(2) Can you explain in more detail, at some point, why husbands would be willing to farm out their wives for another guy to impregnate?
Again probably not explaining it well enough but this goes back to the settings of this world. As in the high impact but low presence of magic. Spells are the engine. Mana is the fuel. The larger your gas tank, the more and more powerful spells you can potentially use.
The size of your gas tank appears to be often influenced by the size of your parents' gas tanks. And with so few people having enough mana to use significant spells? Kids with significant gas tanks are enormously valuable.
How this is treated depends on your class. For commoners a baby with a big tank? Like a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. An elevation in status. Support, including financial, from local authorities. And potentially even adoption of the child into the nobility.
So nobles with significant magic are rarely ever lacking in local bed partners if they bother to look. While peasants could see letting the wife take a tumble with a lord, might provide his entire family with a much brighter future.
Especially for couples having difficulty making a baby and or a noble who everyone is saying is actually a "hero from another world." The seed of a "hero" is way more valuable than even a king's.
Of course the situation on the noble side is different. Men are encouraged to sow their oats while women need to find the best male possible in both status and mana.
The situation with Hamond and Lula is somewhat unique. The behind the scenes reality is that the seed of a "hero" is the only acceptable replacement for a Duke's seed for the heir. No one wants to admit that out loud though.
And it adds discomfort for the MC as he is not comfortable with the situation.
@ByzFan ... I'll buy this, moreso for the infertile couples than other scenarios. Regarding the others, I'll consider it again if, in the future, you explained how (borrowing your Wonka analogy) how Charlie getting into the Wonka Chocolate business, 15-18 years from now, helps Mr. Bucket (Charlie's Dad) now OR what assurances Bucket has that his child will respect him as a parent and contribute to his well-being, because it is a fair bet that Charlie, while being biologically connected to his mother, will be very much aware during his rebellious teenage years that Bucket wasn't actually his daddy (the neighbors will talk). Some actual payout to the Dads in this scenario which isn't distant-future speculative would help or more firm assurance that Dads will benefit, would be good. Alternatively, these guys who are sending off their wives are @holes who don't care about them (which is surprising if these women aren't total ugly STD ridden skanks).
Regarding Lula, and her husband insisting she stays there for a month?... well, I'm just going to chalk that up to him being a true-blue grade-A cuck (meaning, he gets off on being cheated on), or he really doesn't care about her and she is a "gift" of sorts, or she is a spy... or a combination of those 3 things. Lula (or other women) calling the MC "my prince" and giving him a sensual wake-up blowjob, doesn't really present the "I love my husband and am here to make a child for my family" vibe; however, you explain why Lula specifically might be different in what you write later, thankfully. ... and don't think that I missed you throwing, potentially, one of the few surviving, non-eunuch, rightful heirs to the Aquecia empire (ousted by the 4 Japanese kids) into our MC's bed.
@TDM
Really hate writing a whole lot and then hitting the wrong button and its all gone! Ugh.

Can't remember if I included it in an earlier chapter but there is a price a noble is expected to pay a commoner women for laying with him. More if she is a virgin. If the woman is married then the husband gets that money.
But that's not the real reason why the nobleman gets easy lays. At worst, the family gets an extra mouth to feed and an extra hand to work. At best, the family gets superman. Even for the least "special," who can only manage body magic, its an instant elevation in status with and a huge boost to the local community. Both economically and militarily.
If the baby is more special then the local lord may also provide money regularly to help raise him. And if its really really special the local lord may adopt the kid. Not for free of course. A lot of money, for 99.9% of commoners. This adoption could even include the family being hired by the local lord. Possibly even becoming retainers.
With the MC there is an extra layer. His cult. Possible divinity. As a hero sent by the gods it adds a whole other layer of potential. She might give birth to the next Jesus Christ. Or Craig Christ. Stephen Lynch song.
Regarding Lula, and her husband insisting she stays there for a month?... well, I'm just going to chalk that up to him being a true-blue grade-A cuck (meaning, he gets off on being cheated on), or he really doesn't care about her and she is a "gift" of sorts, or she is a spy... or a combination of those 3 things.

The month is to make sure she if pregnant. Medical magic is pretty limited in this world. So they have to resort to older methods like not having a period to determine she is pregnant. So while the MC knows right away thanks to [Recovery Magic]? Others don't. Lula comes from a country south of Aquecia. That may come up later once the action starts moving beyond Tourin.
Hitomi runs into "old friends" from Aquecia in the school arc.
@ByzFan u are doing fine, just a harem hater reading harem...
@pincho ... yeah. Dropped this once I saw the direction. Thought this was a story about a dad upset because his kid was going to be kidnapped. Instead the focus, a Dad, who is sexing up other peoples wives and kids, because magic schlong; no real focus on revenge against the child-abducting kingdoms ... pass.
@TDM he is getting there slowly. Needs the smarts the girls have since he really has barely been there if you look at time line. If he just started trying to kill everyone who has ever summoned a person he would have to probably destroy the world. So piece by piece he is looking for the source.
@pincho ... I see. His secret plan to accept a castle and title, work for his enemies, and spend his days having lots of s*x (because that is how he spends most of his time, apparently) rather than working on martial or magic skills; masterful strategy. Were I his enemies, I'd underestimate him as well.
@pincho
I've often had issues with "slow burn" stories since the pace can seem glacial at times. And what do I end up writing? A "slow burn" story.
In story it's been less than three months. My aim is to show the MC having the power. But lacking the skill to use it as well as he needs to. That's what the school arc is to help fix.
@ByzFan I think your doing fine. It's a fine line between showing the journey and skipping to the ass woopin
@TDM actually it works for him as he makes them think he is under "control " so everyone isn't trying to kill him all at once and just trickle in, in manageable amounts while he learns to actually kick ass and not just end up lucky.
The humans are not his end goal anyways so he needs to aquire/learn to used bad ass godly power for who else would be running the kidnapping schemes.
