Harem Reborn c1-297

by Author：Magic_

  After Tilly calmed Lavender down, we were finally able to sit down and eat. My head was still shaking from the assault, but I enjoy some strange jelly snacks and iced tea. The girls were talking and laughing, so I decided that I would check my alerts.

  Six windows opened, and I read through the first five.

  NEW SKILLS/MAGIC UNLOCKED!

  Wow, now I see how the relationship thing works. The more positive interactions we have together, the more potent our relationships get. I was about to check my AVATAR when the sound of tapping interrupted me. I looked up to see both girls staring at me.

  "Did you hear anything I just said? What are you doing?" Lavender was leaning close to inspect me as she spoke.

  "Just checking the alerts. Tilly, you are now officially part of the party, and we are friends!" I say, turning to look at Tilly to avoid the burning gaze of Lavender. "I was just about to see what my new level gets me."

  Tilly wore a broad smile that showed of sharpened incisors, but she still looked adorable.

  "Thank you for letting me join your party," Tilly became shy as she said this.

  "Hmm. I have to go," and then Lavender was off running into the house.

  "What was that about?" I asked Tilly, but she shrugged and then got a vacant look.

  She must be looking at her alerts, so I turn back to mine. I focus, and the last screen comes into view, but Tilly's bright light makes the screen go out of focus. Tilly's body has filled out more, and her ears seem a bit longer. I continue to watch her until she gets a frown on her face and her eyes come back into focus as she looks at me.

  "Can you help me with my Class? I think something is wrong with it."

  "I can take a look. What do you need help with?"

  Tilly moved her chair closer until our knees touched and then extended her hand with a single finger extended. I put my hand over Tilly's, and she didn't pull back this time. Our bond overcame the reservations she had before. Instead of her AVATAR, another screen appeared before me.

  CLASS PROGRESSION CHOICE

  At level 10 DEFENDER, you must choose a path. You may select from the following classes:

  SHIELD BERSERKER

  Invoke your bloodthirst and smash your enemies into a bloody pulp. Gain SHIELD BASH and SHIELDWIND.

  GUARDIAN

  CAT-KIN FORGESMITH (LEGENDARY)

  Kneed steel and purrfect the arts of magical weapon and armor creations on the go! Gain TEMPERED FORGE PAWS and PURRFECT PAWS OF ENHANCEMENT.

  "Holy shit!" I say out loud because I can't believe my eyes.

  "So, you see it too?" Tilly asks me

  "Don't even think, just pick it!" I exclaim, grabbing her hand.

  Tilly's face reddens, but she nods her head to me. Instantly, she bursts with light, and I jump back out of my chair, startled. The light fades, and Tilly doesn't look even close to the same.

  Tilly is wearing a leather form-fitting apron, and her ears are fuller, and more white touches the tips. Tilly's smiles and then freezes as we both notice it at the same time. A silver bushy tail swished on the ground behind Tilly.

  "My tail!" Tilly squealed with joy.

  "I'm so happy for you, Tilly!"

  "Do you want to feel it?"

  I didn't even answer, and when she came over to me, I bent down to pick up and examine her tail. Tilly's tail was soft and fluffy, I stroked it, and Tilly began to tremble. I couldn't resist stroking the soft fur, and soon Tilly was coming closer to me with steaming red cheeks and a dreamy look in her eyes. She had begun to purr intensely, but it was interrupted by the sound of my name from an angry Lavender.

  "DAVE!"

  Chapter 14: Legendary Envy

  I turn my head slowly. The fiery look from Lavender was getting closer as she advanced on me. Tilly had stopped purring, and she had turned away to leave me to my fate.

  I stood up to meet her and noticed I was getting a lot taller than her. I held up my hands, dropping Tilly's tail. Lavender was about to yell at me more when she noticed Tilly's tail. She must not have been able to see it in my hands before.

  "Tilly! Your Tail!"

  Lavender shoved me out of the way as she ran to Tilly, all arguments seeming to leave her. The girls hugged, and then Lavender held Tilly back.

  "How did you get your tail? Was it because of your new Class?" Lavender questioned Tilly.

  "I guess so, but I had three choices, and the one I picked, well, It's like a class made for me! Let me show you," Tilly extended her arm and showed her AVATAR to Tilly.

  Lavender put her hand over Tilly's and began to look over her AVATAR. Her eyes kept getting bigger and bigger. She let out a soft gasp.

  "It's a legendary class like the choice I have," Lavender's voice was a low whisper as she went to sit in a chair. Then she turned to Tilly from her chair.

  "Why did you and I both get legendary class options?"

  "I think it has something to do with Hero Dave. You have already gotten a lot stronger in one day. You gained four levels, and I gained one. Even if we both trained every day for a year straight, we couldn't do this. We are a party, so we shouldn't hide things from him."

  Tilly's statement left no room for arguments, as she looked meaningfully at her. Lavender looked at the ground, and Tilly picked up her chair that she had knocked over during her transformation. I sat in my chair and waited for what Lavender was going to tell me.

  "What do you think I should do?" Lavender had lifted her head until I looked at her, then she pursed her lips, turning away.

  I pull my chair closer with a sign. Why can't Lavender be more like Miss Tilly? I guess if she weren't the way she was, then it just wouldn't be her. I put my hand out when I was sure I could reach for Lavender's hand as I moved my chair forwards.

  Lavender ignored me. She even crossed her arms.

  "What would you like help with?" I asked the question, but I was already 97% sure I knew the answer.

  Nothing changed. Lavender continued to ignore me until Tilly crept from the blindside and got behind Lavender. I could see the mischievous look in her eyes. Uh-oh, I think this might be one of those Hyper Kitten moments.

  Tilly pushed Lavender's chair towards mine with force! Lavender screamed as our chairs connected, and we both went over the back of my chair. We both tumbled onto the grass, and Lavender fell into my arms. We landed, and I instinctually wrapped her in my arms.

  Tilly had disappeared. Who knows where she went. I realized that I was still holding Lavender and began to pull my arms away. Lavender began to shake her head, then she spoke so soft I could barely hear as her face pushed into my chest, and she gripped my shirt.

  "Don't let go yet."

  So we just laid there, in the grass. I could smell coconut conditioner Lavender must use from her ha
ir, and I had almost thought she had fallen asleep. Finally, Lavender shifted and then pulled out of my arms. I left her go, but I didn't want to. The warmth of her body in my arms had been relaxing. Us both wrapped together had let me forget about everything else in the world for just a minute.

  Lavender crawled out of my lap and sat beside me with her arms wrapped around her knees. I thought I heard her mutter, thank you, but I became distracted when she shoved her hand at me. The pinky was already up, so I placed my hand over top of hers, and Lavender's Class selection like Tilly's sheet came up.

  CLASS PROGRESSION CHOICE

  At level 10 MAGE, you must choose a path. You may select from the following classes:

  ADEPT MAGE

  Follow into the steps of the magus, extending your elemental mastery to Water. Gain WATER GLIDE and WATER MANIPULATION.

  FIRE RUNE MAGE

  Sketch runes into the air to release burning fires or transcribe them onto objects. Gain FIREBALL and TRANSCRIBE FIRE.

  CHAOS MAGE (LEGENDARY)

  Emotions run high as the chaos of your heart can change the course of events. Gain TIDES OF CHAOS and CHAOS RAIN.

  This one wasn't so cut and dry. Lavender's legendary Class looked good because it was legendary, but chaos wasn't a party-friendly class. Even though the others looked good, it would be cruel and unusual not to take the legendary Class when I pushed Tilly so fast.

  "You should take it, but stand back from me. I think you will change," I told Lavender as we both stood up.

  Lavender nodded and stepped back. I shielded my eye in anticipation of the burst of light, and it came shortly. Even with my hand up, I could clearly see my bone through two layers of flesh. The light made me close my eyes, but soon it dimmed.

  "You can look now," came Lavender's cheerful voice.

  I lowered my hand and stared. Lavender was now in a black dress hat and boots. Covering all of her new things were hundreds of intricate pentagrams wrapped in circles in pentagrams in circles. The scene was...chaos, at its finest.

  "Wow, the new look suits you. It looks good!" I comment as she holds the dress out on both sides.

  "What class did you pick?"

  "I don't think I get to pick, that's the random part. First, I want to see your sheet. If that's ok?"

  "Sure," She said, coming back over to me.

  We both sat back down on the grass, but Tilly came rushing over and joined us as we did. We sat for a bit, and we talked about the new classes. Finally, the girls convinced me to open my character sheet, but I was honestly more interested in seeing their sheets. I reached my hand out, pinky up, and both girls placed their hand over mine.

  The girl's eyes were huge. Both pulled away from me and stared. Tilly had called down a lot, but now her tail was swishing back and forth. I looked at them both, and I didn't know what to tell them.

  I was speechless. My stats had exploded. I had thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I rubbed them, nope still twenties across my sheet and the speed at forty. Holy shit, was it even safe for me to move? Would I fly into a wall with one step? The girls noticed I was breathing heavily and came closer to me.

  "I don't get it."

  "Neither do we," Lavender said.

  "You unlocked new stats and skills, but two skills are just ???" Mentions Tilly.

  Why are you getting so much stronger than me?" Lavender complain.

  Then without thinking, I said, "It must be my Ble-," but my words cut off as the pain hit me again.

  The last thing I heard was the girls screaming for help.

  Chapter 15: Fate Enters

  [Fate's view]

  Waking to a wealthy family on the tenth level, Fate joined the Hero. He could not leave this up to someone else. The Hero knew that the last world had been his doing.

  Fate awoke as Biford Style, son to two influential Council Of The Highmages. Reginold Style was level 53 Magus, Biford's father greatly detested those of lower standing, and Biford was more than ok to follow suit. His mother, Olivia Style, was a level 51 Eternal Conjurer. Her pet, Grismal, was an Elemental Omega Wind Wolf the size of a small house.

  Biford awoke on his way to the dungeons under the city with high-level adventures. They would let Biford get the final blow each time, allowing him to power level. Within two days, Biford's level had increased to ten, and he now controlled fire and water at will as an ADEPT MAGE.

  When Biford returns to his home and cleans up, one of the servants informs him that his parents are out of town. This information was nothing but good news for him. This opportunity was his chance to search for the Hero, maybe take him out quickly. Biford asked the servant to find out anything interesting that happened when he went into the dungeon.

  The servants brought him reports of information the house's contacts were able to gather. This place was a mess of every world, but not a single substantial form of communications, Biford sighed. Finally, one story caught his eye after the tenth scribbled report.

  Supposedly, an Urchin walked out of an alley In Entry Home Land and walked into a thief running from the target, but somehow ends up with it. Biford clenched his teeth as he read on about the woman taking him in on the fifth noble level. The chances of that happening were slim to none; Fate knew this. He had used his blessing on himself to get the jump on the Hero.

  According to the report, though, no one has seen him leave the house. Biford crumpled the paper and left the room, heading for the front door. As he walked outside, Biford pulled his arm back.

  His eyes lit up with magic as he threw the paper ball into the air. At the same time, he was releasing a massive fireball behind the note, incinerating it. Turning back to the castle-like mansion, he lived and looked at one of the two servants standing in the doorway.

  "Fetch the car now. We are going to the market. We must go among the lower noble trash in the fifth level. Stop at a drive-threw as well; I'm hungry. "

  -----------------------------

  [Dave's view]

  My eyes open, and I'm back in my room, but it looks like the sun is just coming up. How long was I out for? I need to be careful about the blessing and telling people. Suddenly I notice that I'm not alone.

  Both girls were lying on the bed with me. There was enough room between them all that it wasn't awkward in that sense, but as I looked from side to side, my eye sight was filled with heaven and wonders. I have woken up in some weird place before, but I can remember waking up to a view this good!

  The girls were both lying on their sides facing me, spilling out of their shirts and skirts. I heard Tilly grown, and I slowly looked back, and when my eyes fall on her, my pants started to become a lot tighter. The cute ears and tail, paired with the compromising position, were more than the experienced part of my mind could safely process.

  I rush out of the room and hear
the girls calling to me, asking what was wrong. I don't stop and grab the wrong door to the bathroom and open it to see a large yellow cat-like eye that filled the doorway. Slamming the door, I find the right one and head to the bathroom.
