Loading... please wait.

In the end, Alex had to leave; Momo and Shizuka were playing too much, his willpower couldn't endure their stimulating moans.

Sitting on the not far ground, he let out a deep sigh, wishing for a woman who could help with his frustration.

Back on Earth, he had lots of opportunities to engage in a romantic endeavor; business partners, his college friends, or even his own employee... but his oath prevented it, he also believed to achieve great success, one must ready to make a sacrifice, and those were his.

He didn't regret it, of course, he had achieved success, became the richest man...

It just... he hadn't got the chance to enjoy the fruit of his effort...

"Mo..."

Alex glanced to the side and saw the hairy creature was staring at him, it let out blowing steam from its cow-like nose. He smiled, extending his hand to caress the creature's furry, but the latter jumped to the side, then hopped away several times before stopping in front of tall grass, opened its mouth and began to feast on the grasses.

Sometimes Alex envied a monster like them or any animal in general, they lived without any worry, just eat and sleep, or even mating whenever they want, not giving a fuck of what would happen next.

After a while, Momo and Shizuka walked toward him, both maidens had their face flushed red while sweating a lot.

"Alex, what are you doing here?" Momo sweetly said, her tone held a bit shyness, hoped the older man didn't see their previous 'wrestling'.

"Gazing at the sky..." Alex said with laid back tone, although it's a lie, the sky at the moment looked pretty indeed.

The sun at the distance closely changed to almost tangerine, halfway to disappear behind the gloom forest that laid in front of them, the drifting soft white clouds migrated as slowly as possible, as though they sent off the sun's departure with gentle cries.

Silhouettes of birds flew across the now magenta sky, their vague song echoed soothingly in the ears.

Alex, Momo, and Shizuka ended up gazing at the sun's end chapter for today, savoring the world's gift to relieve the dark reality they had seen a few hours ago.

"Couldn't believe we almost die today..." Alex sighed in relief, "never expect the Goblin Nest would possess that many goblins, not even mention their elites."

"Yeah, I thought it would be around somewhere 30-40 goblins," Momo said.

"The system mentioned about an anomaly before..." Alex said, "it's probably connected with the strange red shard we found."

"And I heard one of the elite goblins talked about this 'Benefactor', you think who that is?"

Momo and Shizuka shook their heads, there was so little clue for them to deduce, Momo said, "Maybe... the dragon race?"

She quickly added, "But why they needed to amass an army of goblin? If they are so much of the threat to this world, shouldn't they be like... no need help from the other race?"

Alex and Shizuka went silent, both dived inside each own thought.

"Actually, there is something I want to tell with you both, the system mentioned about possibly the three strongest beings in this world, one of them..." he paused for a bit, not to want a dramatic effect, but Alex himself was hesitated to say it.

"One of them is Bahamut, the lord of the dragon, likely our big bad enemy," Alex couldn't help but shivered a bit, unknown for what reason, every time he thought of Bahamut, his body as if shocked by a small current of electricity.

"How strong it is?" Momo said, saw Alex's bad complexion, she knew this Bahamut shouldn't be viewed casually.

"Very... your father can't hold a candle against it," Alex took a deep breath to calm himself, then he looked at Shizuka, said, "including the combined strength of all hidden village leaders from your world."

"!" Momo widened her eyes and dropped her jaw, her father was the strongest in the universe, yet he stood no chance?

Shizuka only trembled a bit, she had expected it thus had a better reaction than Alex or Momo.

"This is joking, right?" Momo's expression turned pale, "maybe the system exaggerated?"

"I also like to think so..." Alex bitterly smiled, "but it feels like I just try to comfort myself."

Yes, denying it... running away from it... but in the end, he couldn't deny this terror inside his heart, the truth that the system had not been playing words with him.

"If Bahamut is stronger than father, then what odd do we have to win?" she bit on her thumb, cold sweat dripped from her temple.

"As long we are given enough time to make preparation, we can win, but that's precisely our problem; we don't know how much time we have left, and there is also something that bothering me..." Alex crossed his arms, knitting his forehead, said in confusion, "if Bahamut is so strong... why it hasn't won yet? What's been holding its back from just destroying the world?"

"Alexis mentioned the Dragons extinct 1000 years ago, whatever happened maybe injured it heavily?" Shizuka said.

"Possibly..." Alex nodded.

"Or..." Momo suddenly chipped in, her face still pale, "this Bahamut had been sealed, somehow."

"Sealed?"

Momo frowned while tapping her cheek with one finger, "You know, like in the video game where the last boss trapped in a sort of dimension or place, then it required our heroes to protect something that acted as the seal to prevent it from returning."

"It actually made sense..." Alex thought back, he played and watched enough franchise to consider Momo's idea.

For example; In Dragon Ball, King Picollo was sealed inside a rice cooker, or in Final Fantasy 5, Exdeath trapped inside a tree.

But these shows or games always ended up with the seal doomed to be broken, and the villain eventually freed...

"We don't know for sure unless we know what happened 1,000 years ago, why the dragons extinct, and why their presence can be dangerous to this world..." Alex wiped his face and said calmly, "that's our first mission; gather information..."

"The system told me to go to the town beyond this forest, although I don't know what so special about this town, that's our best lead right now..." he said, then looked back and forth between the two beauties, said, "and we need to get stronger, and possibly more allies..."

"Ok, so which women are you going to summon next?" Momo casually said.

"Why do you think I would summon a woman?" Alex wrinkled his eyebrows.

Momo and Shizuka exchanged glances, then said at the same time, "Because we are the proof."

"That's not true, I also summon Dick, Jason, and Damian..." Alex startled, couldn't help dropped a cold sweat.

"You summoned them in random and due to the pressing situation, besides, you ready to sacrifice them before, right?" Shizuka said.

'Damn it, I take back my words, making them get along is a bad idea...'

"Alex... do you possibly... want to have a harem?" Momo pressed her lips as they pursed, her tail swayed side to side.

"Haha, how's that possible, besides, I already have you as my fiancee, there is no way I am getting a harem..." Alex laughed, his tone what somewhat genuine.

In truth, he did have no idea for harem... no, he's not against it, he didn't have any prejudice against polygamy or harem.

Alex didn't go for a harem was simply because he didn't have the confidence to handle a single relationship, let alone lots of them...

He couldn't even sustain his previous relationship, how even think about a harem...

Momo startled, quickly looked at Shizuka with concerned eyes, clearly knew something happened between these two.

Also, this whole fiancee thing, she's just kidding with him, taking revenge since he had stolen her first kiss.

Should she just tell him the truth? But why... she somewhat quite unwilling?

"Anyway, putting that aside, I thought about giving you both abilities, it's a proper reward for our last struggle..." Alex smiled.

"Abilities?" Momo and Shizuka startled.

"Yeah," Alex nodded, "we have to get stronger in order to face our adversary, we got lucky before, and good luck won't happen all the time, we could never get rid of it from the factor, but we shouldn't depend on it."

"If you think it's necessary Alex, then I won't object," Shizuka nodded.

"Un, I agree, besides, it's quite exciting to have strange abilities!" Momo tapped her hands and brightly smiled.

"Alright, Shizuka, I thought about giving you Genjutsu... what do you think?" Alex said while browsing the ability tab.

"Genjutsu?" Shizuka startled, "but my control over my chakra isn't that good, how can I use Genjutsu?"

"It doesn't matter, as long the ability relates with your power, in this context chakra, then you can use it without trouble..." Alex said in comfort, "of course, this doesn't mean you instantly master the ability, the system only overrides your limitation to learn the skill, you still have to practice in order to achieve perfection."

"For example, your element nature is Wind, but I can make you learn Fire and Lightning, I can make you learn Fuuinjutsu even Kekke-Genkai, but all require practice for you to master these techniques."

"You can't learn magic or other ability that uses a different source of power, you simply don't have the juice to activate them..."

Momo pondered a bit, said, "So, basically, this ability is just like unlocking the potential of your power?"

"Both yes and no," Alex lifted his hand and brushed her hair, Momo knitted one eye due to it, but she somewhat enjoys the touch.

"The system can also give any ability that doesn't have any relation with power, for example; genetic ability or supernatural power..." Alex said, "but in the end, they are the same, require practice."

"Alright, I understand; if you consider that's what best for me, Alex, then I follow your wish," Shizuka nodded.

"Are you sure? If you have objection just say it, I don't want to control you or anything..." Alex wrinkled his eyebrows.

"It's fine," Shizuka gently lifted the corner of her lips.

"..." Alex slightly startled by her willingness, couldn't help but felt moved inside, he coughed a bit, said, "ok, then... uh... how about Genjutsu Binding? This technique will allow you to bind the enemy's movement, freezing their four limbs so you can kill them easily."

"Sound useful, I agree to have it," Shizuka said.

"There is a limitation of using this ability, first, you must have knowledge about human anatomy, second, using it on multiple enemies may greatly burdening your mind, third, they only work through eye contact."

Shizuka nodded, remembered them firmly.

"Alright, let's transfer this ability to you..."

Immediately afterward, some pieces of information emerged in Shizuka's mind, everything about the technique stored perfectly in her memory.

"Go pick on the soldiers, thread it carefully..." Alex gave a small laugh while Shizuka chuckled, she stood up and went toward the campsite, prepared to conduct an experiment of Genjutsu toward the poor soldiers.

"Hey, what do you have in mind for me~" Momo leaned toward Alex, pressing her body on him, whether she realized or not such behavior was quite dangerous.

Focused Alex, no matter how soft she was, she still an underage, don't break your own principle.

"Hmm... since you are an expert of plants... and can telepathically communicate with them... how about..." Alex pondered a bit, then he slanted his lips, said, "an ability to... cultivate rice!"

*Clutch!*

"Eeep!!!" Alex immediately screamed as his left arm felt like being crushed, his face smeared with distress as he quickly said, "I am just kidding, I am just kidding!!!"

"Hmm? Well, if you just say in the beginning~" Momo sweetly smiled.

"Haha..." he couldn't help but dropped a cold sweat, having a lover with super strength was quite bothersome, he thought what would happen when they consummated their marriage, Alex immediately shivered to the bone.

"Whatcha thinking?" she giggled, oh, if only those laughs could cover the real her.

"I am... uh... consider your expertise... and come up... with the great ability... and I think you will like it..." Alex said while pressing down his anxiousness.

"Oh? This should be good~" Momo leaned closer, her face literally beside his chin, he could smell her scent, so fragrant and stimulating.

Oh, Great Lord, please don't punish me for my thought!

"Err... how about, an ability to change trash into a tree?" Alex suppressed the heat grew inside him, how hard for him to actually not let the beast get out from its cage.

"Change trash into a tree?" Momo widened, he could hear a pleasant surprise coming from her tone, she said, "is that possible?"

"Of course," Alex gently smiled, rubbing her head, "not only you can clear up all the waste, but you can use this ability for lot purposes, even for attack and defense."

"And for your information, we did have a lot of waste, for example; the ammo we had used previously..."

"Un, I want that ability!" Momo nodded cutely.

"Alright..."

-Alex Star
-Shizuka Nadeshiko
-Dick

-Damian
-Momo Bella Deviluke

Final Confirmation, Y/N? (Warning; the decision cannot be changed.)

The same thing with Shizuka happened with Momo, but also not quite the same, while Shizuka only learned an ability that she could use without the use of the system, Momo learned ability that basically impossible in any sort of way, therefore, not only a piece of information about the ability emerged in her mind, she could a feel a subtle change in her constitution.

Momo couldn't help but closed her eyes, and somewhat leaned entirely to Alex, the latter sighed in a smile and hugged her, could feel her warmth.

After a while, she opened her eyes, a glimpse of brilliant light sparked in her violet eyes.

Alex took out used ammo from the system, giving it to her, Momo held the ammo with one hand then pressed her another hand on the top of it, enclasping the ammo.

*Zing!*

A brief light sneaked through the gap of her palms, as soon as she lifted her hand, a small tree, probably 10 centimeters in height, appeared on the top of her another hand.

She smiled widely, Alex startled as he noticed the corner of her eyes actually dropped a tear.

"It's like hearing a baby crying..." Momo softly said, then she looked at Alex, their face was too close for comfort, "this is the best thing you give to me."

"Well, technically, I never give you anything, wait no, there is the riffle, oh I also share you few golds, some pieces of equipment from the goblin treasure vault, and-"

*Chu~*

She brought up her face and immediately sealed up Alex's lips, the latter widened his eyes as he felt silky and tender meat.

It was a quick kiss, perhaps less than 5 seconds, Momo already pulled back, tilted her head while smiling toward him, she slid away and dug out the soil on the ground, quickly planted the small tree.

Alex looked at her for a while, then he understood why she behaved exaggeratedly, in people's eyes, this ability might not worth that much, but for those who cared deeply for the plant, especially someone like Momo, this was true... the greatest gift.
