“Hey, Jadis, wake up.”
“Huh?” Jadis blinked groggily, all three of her selves coming to consciousness at the same time.
“I know you had a long night,” Kerr said, her face hovering just above Syd’s. “But it’s morning and you’re going to want to get up and, you know, eat something other than your own cum. Maybe wash up a bit, too.”
“Right, okay,” Syd sighed before putting a hand on one of Kerr’s horns and bringing her close for a kiss.
“I’m getting up,” Jay grunted as she stretched, making her shoulders pop. “What a night.”
“No kidding,” Kerr grinned as she pulled away from Syd. “Can’t believe you had the energy to fuck the rest of us after what you did to poor Bridget.”
“She okay?” Dys asked as she sat up, looking around.
The tent was empty other than her selves and Kerr, though she could hear the sound of talking and movement just outside.
“She’s fine,” Kerr brushed off the concern as she got to her feet. “Worn out, though. Probably going to need a nap in the wagon while we’re on the move. She’ll be sleeping on her stomach for a while, too.”
“I wouldn’t mind napping in the wagon while you pull,” Syd murmured as she got to her feet and started stretching.
“Dur coup, ma belle,” Kerr chuckled. “Can’t complain about the wagon now, you asked for it.”
“True, true,” Jay nodded. “At least it feels like it’ll be a little easier to pull today than yesterday.”
“I noticed that,” Kerr grinned as she flexed the muscles on her right arm. “Got to thank you and green bean for your tireless efforts. Who knew fucking could be so beneficial to your health?”
Jadis had to smile at Kerr’s words. Fucking had indeed proved beneficial to not only her health, but the health of all of her companions. Though for her, it was quite literal.

Jadis’ stats had gone up massively thanks to replicating Bridget’s Stoke the Ardent Flame skill. What held true for the orc held true for her, so having sex with herself had counted as three Nephilim, giving her fifteen attribute points in four skills of her choice. Naturally, Jadis had chosen Eldritch and Resilience, the former since it was her key stat and the latter since it was her greatest weakness. For the other two attributes, she’d chosen Strength and Vitality. Both were her most important stats next to Eldritch, so a fifteen-point boost to each was amazing. Of course, they got more than just fifteen points total from the deal.
With her Eldritch stat going up to one hundred and fifty-seven points, Jadis’ currently duplicated Minor Fractional Spread had given her an extra four points for each of her physical attributes. Thanks to her frankly overpowered stat-boosting skills, Jadis’ lowest physical attribute, Dexterity, was up to forty-one points, a number that rivaled the primary stat point allocation of the average person at a similar level to her own. Her biggest attribute, Strength, had reached one hundred and seventy-six. That was more than a hundred points higher than Kerr’s unaltered Dexterity stat, the main stat of a career mercenary who was eight levels higher than her.
With the application of a single skill and one night of fucking, Jadis’ Strength had gone up by forty points.
“How high is your health right now, anyway?” Kerr asked as she watched Jadis’ selves pull on some clothes after wiping themselves clean with some damp clothes. “You’ve got a skill that boosts it, right?”
“Yes,” Jay nodded. “An extra three hundred thanks to having three bodies. It puts me at eleven hundred and ten health points.”
“Holy tits,” Kerr let out a low whistle. “You actually broke a thousand health points. I only know maybe two other people who’ve done that, personally, and I’m pretty sure Noll is one of them.”
“Never hurts to have more health,” Syd shrugged after pulling her shirt on. “Who’s the other person?”
“My dad,” Kerr said. “And he had a class specifically for it. Anyway, let’s get some grub.”
With her stomachs growling, Jadis happily followed her girlfriend out into the open air of the camp.
It was a cold day, a chill breeze blowing through the trees, but the sun was shining brightly and it didn’t look like there would be any clouds riding the wind. The camp was busy, the soldiers all actively taking down their camp and packing their gear. A few waved in her direction when they saw her, with no sign of anything wrong.
“I guess we weren’t overheard last night?” Jay quietly asked Kerr as they walked over to their bonfire where the rest of Fortune’s Favored was gathered.
“Nope,” Kerr smirked. “Well, Gunnar heard something. But he’s got sharp ears. Hard to hide all those ‘ah, yes, fuck me’ noises from him.”
Kerr made sure to enunciate her crude language in exactly the same way as it would sound during the act.
“Keep it up and we’ll help you give the camp a live demonstration,” Dys growled into Kerr’s ear.
“Promise?” Kerr winked back.
“Jay!” Bridget shouted, catching her attention before leaping into her arms to give her a powerful bear hug. “Thank you so, so much!”
“Morning,” Jay laughed as she hugged Bridget back. “I guess you’re liking your new stats?”
“Bloody right I am!” Bridget grinned at her before seeming to remember that she was very publicly hugging Jay in front of both the not-too distant soldiers and her two girlfriends. “Ah, but, yeah. Thanks again, this really worked out great.”
Bridget awkwardly dropped down from Jay’s arms, biting her lip as she gave Aila and Kerr a few nervous glances. Kerr just grinned back at her, a knowing look on her face, while Aila seemed utterly unfazed.
Carrying two big bowls of stew, Aila walked up to Dys and passed her one before motioning for her to join her. The two sat down together on a log by the fire as everyone else did the same, talking and eating their breakfast.
“I could tell Bridget’s skill had worked out well once I checked my own status sheet,” Aila said after she had sipped a bit of her broth. “But I wanted to go over the details with her. I would have asked her last night, but she was… out of it by the time our watch was over.”
“Yeah, she was,” Dys held back a grin as she ate her meal. “We were at it for a while.”
“I’m just glad you still had enough in you for me, Kerr, and Thea. It would have been inconvenient to have to do the whole ritual again rather than a recharge.”
“What, are you trying to say you don’t want me to scramble your eggs for an hour straight?”
“Tch,” Aila tsked, “so crude. And I didn’t say that. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’ve made it clear exactly how I feel about you and me.”
Aila’s words were reinforced by her pressing up against Dys’ side, close enough that she was forced to put her arm around Aila to let her snuggle in close.
“I just said it would be inconvenient to do the ritual. You do need some actual sleep at night.”
“True,” Dys nodded, “that’s true. Maybe I’ll get a skill some day that’ll let me trade out sleep for more time fucking. That’d be pretty useful.”
Aila let out a delicate snort.
“I wouldn’t be surprised, considering it’s you. But until that time comes, we’ll just have to manage your sleep schedule. Anyway, tell me about your new stats. What are the final results?”
Jadis took the time to detail out all of her stat changes to Aila who nodded along approvingly. Everything was in line with how she’d calculated, since Jadis had already told her which attributes she’d planned on boosting should Bridget’s skill work out. Once they were done talking about Jadis’ stats, they went over everyone else’s stats as well. Everyone had seen an increase thanks to Lewd Lover’s Bond, though Bridget’s attributes had seen the biggest changes.

Interestingly, both Sabina and Bridget had both gained a second level in their new secondary classes. Sabina was no real surprise to Jadis. The smith had managed to craft multiple enchantments in a short period of time with less-than-optimal tools and conditions. She absolutely deserved to gain a level thanks to all of her hard work. The success with the anti-orgasm collar had been the tipping point, apparently.
Bridget’s level was less expected. After all, Ardent Light of the Reborn was a combat class. Surely, she should get the majority of her experience from fighting. Yet, a night of hard fucking had apparently been enough to bump her up to level two. Jadis supposed it made some sense, since the class was a lewd one, with its main skill dependent upon having sex with Nephilim.
That thought made Jadis pause internally. She now had three companions with classes that were extremely dependent upon her existence. Eir’s class, as lewd as it was, would still have uses if Jadis wasn’t around. But Aila, Sabina, and Bridget all needed her regular participation to operate at full optimization. It made her glad that her health was now at more than a thousand points. She had to make sure she lived as long as possible, for their sake as much as her own.
“Will you be ready to move out soon?” Jadis heard Willa call out from her side of the camp.
“Yes, we’re finishing up,” Jay called back to the captain with a wave of one hand. “Just a few more minutes.”
“Understood,” Willa nodded. “We will be ready when you all are.”
Jadis went back to eating, hurrying to finish up so they could get a move on with the day. As the three of her selves took big mouthfuls of meaty stew, she heard Willa call out again.
“Oh, and I would suggest the three of you spend more time actually sleeping at night, rather than whatever it was you were all doing with your companions.”
Jadis nearly choked on her food as the sound of the soldiers laughing filled her ears.
@Agdistis Unless the Eldritch stats gained by Stoke the Ardent Flame are unaffected by Lascivious empowerment (Which I doubt) they are once again wrong. (You seem to keep forgetting the times 1.5 multiplier on any eldritch stat gained)
Corrected stats are:
Health: 1110/1110
Strength: 176
Dexterity: 41
Agility: 157
Vitality: 81
Fortitude: 51
Endurance: 53
Eldritch: 157
Also according to my spreadsheet correction for the rest of the team (Bolded is off by more than the 3 points from the corrected jadis eldritch boost)
Aila's Arcane: 128
Eir's Divine:134
Kerr's Strength: 93
Thea's Fortitude: 104
Sabina's Eldritch: 78
Bridget's Arcane: 107
Also Sabina seems to be have an unassigned stat point from her level up.
Edit: Kerr's strength has been changed from 97 to 93 for some reason I added 4 extra free attribute points to Kerr's strength score in my spreadsheet.
This is the big downside to writing a LitRPG story. Can be easy to lose track of the numbers as the skill list and experiences grow.
@Maddhawk If Agdistis wants my spreadsheet they just have to ask. I mean i did send you a copy because I thought you might have been interested in it.
If there was a discord for this story I would put the spreadsheet there for those that want to see it.
Here is the link for those interested.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k0AJf2T6cTfquHpn-xVydGwyguY7d_Om2F_ZIjDFKZI/edit?usp=drivesdk
PS I hate google's new smooth scrolling
Yes, I did indeed somehow skip Lascivious Empowerment when I was doing my calculations. Wish I could say it was the first time, but I fear it is becoming a habit. I should have everything corrected now, both in the status sheets and in the text. I'm particularly baffled by Sabina, though. I've no idea how I managed to copy and paste her stat block *before* I added her level up stat point to Agility. I must be tired.
The only stat I am puzzled by when comparing my notes and yours (thank you again for your dedication to tracking them) is Aila's. I have her at 126, currently. I don't believe I missed any level up points, but then again I tend to lose power a lot where I live and it is possible I lost some points by not saving the file. Can you confirm by your own count where you think the discrepancy is?
@Agdistis
During Chapter 198 Aila's Base arcane stat (Starting stat + free attribute points) is 25. Add 25 points worth of Attribute improvements for a total of 50. Then add the Jadis Eldritch buff from that time 132/2 = 66 for a total of 116.
* Simplified: 25 (base and free points) + 25 (Attribute improvement) + 66 (lewd lover's buff for 132 eldritch) = 116 total
For this chapter Aila hasn't gained any level since 198, thus the 25 + 25 remains the same. In other words only Jadis' new Eldritch score matters which is now 157. So 157/2 = 78.5 rounded down to 78. And 50 +78 = 128
* Simplified: 25 (base and free points) + 25 (Attribute improvement) + 78 (lewd lover's buff for 157 eldritch) = 128 total.
You can copy my spreadsheet for your own use if you need it. Just be warned I am currently reworking the Jadis stat section on a copied page a bit to better handle all the multipliers she has running.
@SeriousBlueJewel Okay, I think it was in fact a missing free attribute boost that got lost/forgotten at some point. Everything else lines up.
I'll take a look at your spread sheet. I'm curious to see how it has come along, I know you've been working on it.
@Agdistis It is quite handy as I just have to fill in the base stats, the Jadis controller info, and Jadis' eldritch for her teammates and it automatically updates those stats.
Although I do need to update the formulas whenever we get a new stat boosting skill.
It is amazing how much side writing is necessary when writing a long and dedicated novel. lol
Until you have written your own stories, you never have any idea how many notes you need in order to keep it all straight, consistent and cohesive for the sake of a quality tale and sustaining reader immersion.
One day, I'll take up writing again. Maybe I should by only completed novel on here. It is pretty short though at a mere 49k-ish words. It is quite lewd though.
Another thought concerning Bridget's skill that just occurred to me. Everyone's stat gains change retroactively with the strength of Jadis' Eldritch attribute.
If that is the case, then it might not be worth the while for Jadis to swap her passive doubler to her Mirrored Body passive. Chances are, when she swaps back out of it, the 10 extra points from two extra Nephilim would vanish as well. Then again maybe not.
Food for thought.
@Maddhawk I don't think they will vanish as the s*x did happen, and magically created bodies such as Syd do count.
Honestly I think in the case that Jadis were to die, that both Stoke the Ardent Flame, and Nephilim Saturation would continue to work for several days (up to 10 and 5 respectively) before their boosts vanished.
Unlike the Lewd Lover's bond of the others which would vanish immediately upon Jadis' death.
This is because LLB relies on boosting the target's stats based on Jadis' current Eldritch score, whilst the aforementioned skills of Aila and Bridget give their boost via the latest s*x act preformed with a nephilim. (For Ailia s*x with a particular Nephilim (aka Jadis body #x), and for Bridget how many nephilim she f*cked at the same time.
So I think the stat boost would stay, it just needs to be renewed every 10 days.
Also it is not a 10 point eldritch boost for the 2 additional nephilim but a 15 one (Lascivious Empowerment)
@Maddhawk I have enough extra notes that the word count is probably equal to a short novel.
Currently working on a formula for my spreadsheet that calculates the total amount of attribute points that someone has earned based on the levels of their classes. Which I can then use to make a function that checks if any points are unassigned.
It does work under the assumption that there is a point increase for the uneven levels every 20 level block, and that the 20th level of every block gives 5 times the standard block points every time.
Aka:
1-20: 1 Free attribute point every even level, and level 20 gives 5
21-40: 2 Free attribute point every even level, and level 40 gives 10
41-60: 3 Free attribute point every even level, and level 60 gives 15
61-80: 4 Free attribute point every even level, and level 80 gives 20
81-100: 5 Free attribute point every even level, and level 100 gives 25
If this is revealed not to be the case then I will just adjust the formula later
And my new function has revealed to me that I somehow added 4 free attribute points worth of strength to Kerr in my spreadsheet, but this should have solved it. (Agdistis seems to have noticed it and not increased the strength score by 4)
Also thank google for named functions and lambda, they are so handy and made it so I didn't have to copy, paste and adjust the monster that is the free attribute calculator function constantly.
@Maddhawk Your comment really resonated with me. I've been working on a novel of my own for about a year now and I'm proud to state that as of right now, I have written exactly 0 chapters. Instead, I have a folder filled with over two dozen documents about, i.e., the origin of the world, species that inhabit said world, a world map with countries and cities, magic system, bestiary, a calendar, social structures etc. I literally have three seperate formulas for calculating HP/MP/SP, EXP & Damage and have ran simulations to make sure both the formulas, combat and levelling in general is balanced. And for some reason I'm not tiring of this in any way, it's really fun despite me not having written a single chapter yet
@Agdistis If you give me the html text used to built the tables for the info boxes, then I can likely built something in google spreadsheets that automatically updates the text for you. Should take some of the load of you. (And I mean to combine it with my automatic stat calculators). So it should be easy to use.
@Ouro_Boros Oh Yes I get that making Spreadsheets and messing around with them can just plain fun
I just realized that if Jadis redoes Lascivious empowerment with Sabina and Bridget added, her stat total of 818 is equal to that of a level 300 that has the same base starting total and only used free attribute point to increase their stats. (Assuming the stat growth rules stated by me earlier in this comment thread are true)
Yes that is just how broken Jadis' skills are.
@SeriousBlueJewel I am, frankly, a noob when it comes to the finer mechanics of Word and Excel. I don't know how I would give you the "html" as I'm not sure what that is.
@Agdistis Seems Like Scribblehub uses some form of bbcode from which I can't see the raw code on first sight, (seems like a measure against aggregator sites). So I likely can't make a straight copy but I can likely still make a sort of status card thing in spreadsheets you can use to double check your math.
@SeriousBlueJewel Ah, okay, thank you. Lacking the skill, I just muddle my way through these things as best I can.
@Agdistis The Jadis version is already up and running, I just need to make a template version, make the pages for the rest of the team, and make an instruction page. It also comes with a built in FAPs (free action point) balance checker
@Agdistis The stat sheet maker only needs some edits to the color formatting on the character pages, and finishing of the usage guide. But for the rest it is ready.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LtmMw_x7jaoDhpzsP-DktTdQR0nFs8XseHRF9rTNo8k/edit?usp=sharing
Also Bridget's CLR this chapter needs to be set to 22
@SeriousBlueJewel You do amazing work. I honestly don't know how anyone can manage to make excel sheets like this. Thank you for all the effort.
@Agdistis No problem I like solving these spreadsheet issues, way more fun than handeling s*x scene variants for Trials in Tainted Space's wiki
